  Get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS. First Smartphone/OS combo I really enjoy, mostly because this device is fucking secure. I just can’t bare non-updatabe CFWs, long forgotten branded roms and Google services…

    Is there any alternative to GrapheneOS for non Pixels?

    Also, would installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel void the warranty? Does that include a carrier warranty?

    And would it affect charging speed?

    Sorry for the questions, I’m considering how to be more secure and give away less of my data. It means a new phone though.

      LineageOS or CalyxOS. But Pixels are ass cheap. Bought a used 4a for 150 bucks.

      U can recover everything.

      Charfing speed no, only of bugged, but hat no huge problems with GrapheneOS yet. Douvt there will be, cause their work is godlike.

        If I am ok with spending the money, is newer generally better with pixel versions or is there a version where it peaked, taking compatibility with GrapheneOS into account?

    I am likely going with the pixel, just because of the free-er ecosystem on it, plus the update window they committed to last time around is super nice
