Problem is, it is not IP68 rated, which is a dealbreaker for someone with an active lifestyle; especially since I sometimes manage to get water even into my IP68 phones. It would be good if they made a Pro model or just made the regular model more expensive since I will gladly pay for privacy and quality on a device that is on me at all times.

FP would be a good choice for Graphene.

There are those waterproof bag things. I wouldn’t trust the IP rating on a phone.

Yeah no one should trust IP ratings on phones because unless they cover water damage in their warranty - which none do - the company doesn’t even trust their own IP rating.
I always shake my head when I read about people taking their phones in the shower, in the pool, etc. IP ratings degrade over time as well.

Unfortunately Graphene have said they will only use pixels (or potentially their own phone in the future) because no other phones have the Titan M2 security chip.
It’s a shame though, because I’d love to have Graphene on it.

Yea but with the recent news (see his Mastodon) he’s looking for other vendors.
