  It is owned by Lenovo, make of that what you will.

  Google is also basically American. Make of that what you will.

    I want the full stack lenovo linux compatibility. Motorola for phones, lenovo for everything else.

  So what if it is? Replace the stock OS with GrapheneOS and it doesn’t matter who manufactures the phone.

    Except we know hardware backdoors are a thing.

      The whole mobile ecosystem is a giant hardware backdoor on every phone. I think it’s too late now to change anything on that level.

    theoretically you should be right but there’s software hidden in the hardware that you can’t uninstall or modify that could (hypothetically) be surveilling you. like in the networking equipment that’s inside the phone.

    realistically, i think the chances for that happening are actually very low, also because the networking firmware could only see your encrypted data packets, but it could still figure out the IP addresses that you communicate with. i’d rate it a none/low risk level.

      No one knows what is in the broadcom 5g blobs, it could have all sorts of nefarious shit which it most likely does. Its too easy and tempting of a target for some government not to bribe their way in.

  Better than the alternatives at this rate, unless there is an EU alternative.

    Fairphone, Nothing, or Shift would have been my preferred options. But anything non Google is a plus.

      Fairphone is meh.
      Neat idea but lackluster execution.

      Is there any phone besides the Pixel or iPhone (I will never buy Samsung), that has a comparable camera performance?

        I have a FP6 and I’m very happy with it, haven’t had any issues with their hardware
