Thanks for doing this.
Also, I'm not surprised to see Canada absent from the list (as is tradition...)
I believe GrapheneOS is Canadian, but nobody sells phones with it out of the box (yet, Motorola is supposed to start at some point)
Reportedly early 2027
all of LATAM being absent as always too, and oceania and africa
even if it was there, banking apps?
Still waiting for someone to break the market for us. Doesn't need to be Canadian owned. Although I'm not sure who would be a distributor. Maybe https://openbox.ca/
