Hmm, you used to be able to buy them directly from Google, but that doesn’t seem to be the case any more.
Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer
SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 1 month agoI think this is incorrect but I could be wrong.
You can not buy a Pixel device preloaded with GrapheneOS. They only come from Google with their standard Android and it’s up to the end user to install GrapheneOS

Umm… I don’t think that’s right. I don’t think you could ever buy a phone from Google with GrapheneOS.

Yeah I’d consider that as a used phone. I’d only get the hardware from the OEM and install GrapheneOS myself. Less chance of man in the middle. It’s super easy to install using the web installer.

If friends asked I would flash their pixel with Graphene, then set it up basically as they would use it for them.
Getting started was complex, your average user won’t have a good experience getting their apps added without a power user helping.

I would like to install it someday but I’m afraid of this process

Its really not complicated. Id recommend doing it using a other phone as the installer rather than a PC though, just goes smoother IMO. Very straightforward web installer.

What’s the complex part?
