I’m hoping it’s smaller than any of their current offerings. I really want to support a “factory” GrapheneOS phone, but can’t stand the size of current generation phones.
Even sidegrading to an older mid-high range phone seems like a good idea at this point. I hate android 12 and everything after it with a passion. Moto have been decent in my experience though, hopefully HMD will follow suit with Graphene
Well, that runs into a different problem with the same results.
Sure, GOOGLE can’t hinder you from installing apps, but the fact that nobody has heard of these OS’s before means your selection of available apps is what hinders your ability to install apps.
/e/ OS is just a degoogled Android (similar to Graphene, but not so security oriented). You can install the same apps - though some might not work properly.
Sailfish OS is Linux, but if I understand it correctly they have a compatibility layer enabling you to seamlessly install Android apps on it.
“Nobody has Heard of these os’” - wtf you talk about? They are gaining popularity here in EU as well as in Turkey. It’s getting popular to de-google/de-americanize. People are hating on the monopoly iOS and Android has on the industry. Better to do something than being a sheep about it, and just let thos mofos suck the data out of your life forever?

What will you use instead though?

At this stage, I’m thinking one of the Motorola phones that will run Graphene out of the box.

Isn’t that Android?

I believe it’s a fork of android that is not managed by Google
ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 hours ago
It’s an Android fork that has been degoogled

I use graphene on a pixel. Graphene is Android, albeit a much better version of Android.

I don’t care whether it’s technically android or not, I care that it’s not a tool to let google in to my life.

I want the opposite! I currently use a fold phone because phones are too small :P

Linux phone, landline, or tin can and string.

Another option, an ESP32 radio. Surprisingly large mesh network in the greater Seattle area.

Fairphone with /e/os or Jolla phone with sailfishos (waiting for the reviews of their new preordered flagship phone coming out this fall.)

e/os and Sailfish are pretty popular alternative OSs (OSes? OSii?) and are android forks, so they work with standard Android apps.
Source: I use e/os.
Why are you in here arguing losing points with no reason or even knowledge about them?
Zak@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
/e/os is Android without Google proprietary stuff. It runs most Android apps.
