So, what’s the current status of GrapheneOS on a Pixel 10 pro? My Pixel 6 pro is no longer supported by GOS in October.
Edit: according to GOS’s site the Pixel 10 pro is fine. Maybe Motorola will release their phone by October.
Just make sure the case / screen protector options are decent, same with spare parts.
My P7P was an unfortunate purchase due to limited options, screen replacements for that device are still $300+ AUD for an original.
it was never your phone to begin with.
My latest phone is a Fairphone 6 with e/OS preinstalled, so it came degoogled and easily repairable out of the box. I intend to keep it for at least a decade. I cant imagine a feature I would be willing to upgrade for, so I’ll probably keep it longer than that.
Fuck this. My next device will be a Fairphone with Murena OS.
what’s that?
It’s a phone made by Fairphone that runs on Murena OS.
I know about Fairphone but haven’t heard of. MurenaOS
Buying a phone is not exactly a choice.
Hoping that Graphene Motorola partnership ends up making Graphene some really well supported target for bank/finance apps for those that make that a part of their required features for a phone. I can live with Firefox. Many seemingly can’t
Vanadium on GrapheneOS will probably be what most people go with for website compatibility. Assuming they aren’t switching to GrapheneOS for the main aspects but just want to get away from google
The fucked up thing with phones is the locked boot loaders. Locked boot loaders should not exist because this seriously restricts the driver and OS development.
what’s the move? get “ahead” of it and get a Fairphone? I am not entirely sure when the Graphene OS Motorola phones come out and who knows the legal implications that will have.
I’m just gonna switch to linux for my next phone. It’s past time.
GrapheneOS would be great, if it would just support 1000x the hardware it does now. With the extremely limited hardware it does support it’s practically as good as useless for the vast majority of Android users
I’d switch tomorrow, would if I could
Most hardware doesn’t support the fundamental security requirements of GrapheneOS, so that will never happen.
Look into things like /e/OS or Nothing Phone on the Android side, and the various Linux options (Jellyfish OS is, I think, the most advanced).
Please consider donating to PostmarketOS to build up a pure mobile Linux alternative that is completely free of Google’s influence. It’s the best option we have.
I did NOT buy an Android phone for anything Google, what they have said or anything else. I have one because I got a good deal and I can remove everything Google about it. And this deal gives me a new phone biennially while keeping the same monthly price which means I can give my previous phone to the family member of friend who is most in need of one and would be most affected economically by having to buy one themselves. I’d easily choose and iPhone over an Android one if they were similarly locked, I think Google (Alphabet) is the more evil of the two, while both are of course not good at all. That’s not the case though, yet at least.
Root n ROM I guess
I consider myself pretty computer savvy but phones have always pissed me off. I got a Galaxy S22 Ultra because I wanted stylus and high refresh rate, but I consistently regret giving Samsung my business.
I have the SM-S908U1, what are realistically my best options here? I can’t really afford an upgrade right now.
Fully same page. I got a used Z fold cuz I love the design, but now I guess I’m just never updating again until I have time to learn how to install my own OS on it 😵
You should wait for the GrapheneOS Motorola phones next year. The Moto Signature looks like an excellent phone so something like that with GrapheneOS would be the phone of 2027.
Unfortunately, for the specs and special stylus integration feature, Samsung has cornered the market. You can try any other phone and purchase a simple stylus that is just a rubber tip on a plastic stick, but it won’t have the pressure features and quick action button that the S-pen has.
Apple pencil pro on an iPad pro is the only device with commensurate features.
Moto G and the TCL phone are both low buold quality and mid spec devices compared to the Samsung S Ultras
GrapheneOS doesn’t give a fuck
So GOS on Pixel is still fine right?
