  Hmm, in mean time I prefer buying Fairphone over supporting Google.

    I prefer secure systems. Buy used/refurbished for not supporting Google.

      I think it still supports Google. If someone wants a Pixel and one less is available second hand, thats one more person buying it in store. Probably not 1:1 relationship there, but still.

        Precious few people bother with alternative ROMs. GOS users are a small subset of that. The impact on new Pixel device sales is very close to zero. In future, there is the promise of a new OEM. I wouldn’t sweat it.

    You can buy second hand! Backmarket, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist.

    Well, if you’re patient Graphene release some messages that they’re teaming up with a large phone manufacturer and will release a Graphene phone in Q4 2026 or 2027.

    However, this announcement was made before all the AI hype which is consuming all the RAM.
