I commented elsewhere but GrapheneOS on Pixels actively siphon resources from Google and is arguably a good protest against google.
replyThey subsidize Pixel hardware (to incentivize users to adopt their spyware OS), you (buying used obviously) take their subsidized hardware and do not repay them by using their spyware, replacing it with Graphene. Only google loses. Their hardware is technically very good otherwise (in fact no other hardware fits the strict graphene security requirements).
How about they start supporting more devices instead?
replyYou should probably be asking Android OEMs why the requirements listed here https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices are unreasonable.
replyThere are currently no other devices meeting the update and security requirements. GrapheneOS is partnered with a major Android OEM working on making devices meeting all of those requirements along with providing official GrapheneOS support. The devices are planned for 2027 but is being announced by the OEM in March 2026 so people will know which OEM it is soon.
replyGood news they are making their own devices. But until then pixels are technically the most secure android devices and graphene would not be as robust on other devices.
replySmall correction, GrapheneOS are not making them. They are partnering with an existing large OEM to ensure one or a number of future flagship devices meets their security, privacy and support requirements.
replyNo, there are no such news yet, only hearsay.
replyIt has been officially stated that GrapheneOS is partnered with a major Android OEM working on making devices meeting all of those requirements along with providing official GrapheneOS support. The devices are planned for 2027 but is being announced by the OEM in March 2026 so people will know which OEM it is soon.
