A reason to try grapheneos if you are technically inclined.

It's easy enough for anyone willing try. Grab any Pixel from the last few years, plug it in to a computer, and click buttons in your web browser on the GOS website and watch GOS get installed on your phone. The instructions hold your hand the whole way through.

I paid $300 for a mint condition 9a about a month ago on Swappa. Obviously the price is lower for other conditions.

I know what the 10a costs, bought one a few weeks ago. Worth every penny.

I sold a 6a for like $50 recently. Here on lemmy, oddly enough. Those are still good.

200€ used market if not even less. Look on grapheneOS website for compatible devices.

Bought a new 8a for 300,- a year or so ago. Way Cheaper than a flagship Samsung or iPhone, runs really smooth on Graphene.

I soooo want that feature, but less and less phones will even let you unlock your bootloader. Graphene OS doesn't get to support many phones.

The bigger issue with GOS compatibility is the ability to relock your bootloader and a few other security features.

Also, Motorola is releasing a GOS compatible phone next year. They consuled with the devs on what features were needed

Just one? I really want a Graphene Razr but if that doesn't happen I'm just going to get a FLX or similar

I really wanna give that time to be stress tested against Celebrite tho. Celebrite was able to get into locked devices. For all but the latest gens of iPhones and Andoids, which have better h/w security features. Older models they can access.

If we see that Celebrite isn't able to break the new GOS Motorolas, that'll be good to learn.

Yeah, I bought my pixel specifically to run Graphene. Hope the Motorola devices come sooner that later, so one has a bit of a choice

Or, on iOS, wipe the device after 10 failed attempts.
