I use graphene on a pixel. Graphene is Android, albeit a much better version of Android.
At this stage, I’m thinking one of the Motorola phones that will run Graphene out of the box.

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’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.

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

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

Isn’t that Android?

I believe it’s a fork of android that is not managed by Google
ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 hours ago
It’s an Android fork that has been degoogled

…so it’s android.

It’s a fork of android? Is that meant to be a “gotcha” or something?
My point is, this is the last time I let google control my phone.

I imagine since it’s not an official product of Google’s, it can’t legally be called “Android.” As such it’s something that is not Android, but is highly compatible with it since both are rooted in the AOSP.

yes but also no.
google influenced, but not google controlled anymore.
