Time for more users to adopt GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS is great and all but I refuse to willingly give google a single dollar for their hardware.

When GrapheneOS can be installed on any device is when I’ll gladly make that switch, and hopefully one day Apple iPhones can run other operating systems.

Buy a used one then. Google won't see your money then.

Or wait a little longer. https://piunikaweb.com/2025/11/19/grapheneos-to-release-non-pixel-flagship-phone-in-q4-2026-or-in-2027/

In a revealing discussion with David Bombal, the GrapheneOS team confirmed they are actively working with a “top-tier Android OEM” to bring their hardened operating system to non-Google flagship devices.

First time I'm hearing about a non google OEM made phone, that would be amazing!

If only you didn't have to give google money to be able to install it.

Buy used and unlocked. Just sold one at my work, was a pixel 8 pro for 300 USD.
