If it's not GrapheneOS it better not be Android. If you really want a dumb phone, get a Punkt or a Mudita. Anything in between is just a terrible Android phone. That's my thoughts.
Honestly graphine Etc may just be a somewhat lost cause at least in terms of new hardware. They are constantly having to work against the main branch of android. Google is going to continue to pull as much as possible of the underlying operating system and most of the apps people want. Firmly under their sphere of control. Such that de Googled devices. Won't easily be able to run them in the first place.
Burning a lot of time and effort to be someplace we aren't wanted isn't going to make us any more wanted. Which is why ultimately for me, I am specifically looking for a Linux handheld in my future. Or BSD both are acceptable.
That's my point exactly.
