I know Motorola is trying to do that right now, for example. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] Baaron87@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (6 children) From what I’ve read elsewhere (seen some comments here, don’t remember the exact threads) the Graphene team has a specific hardware requirement that Fairphone doesn’t supply.

I like /e/OS for what it is and does, my FP4 works great after all. That said, having the option for Graphene OS I feel would do nothing but benefit all parties, so hopefully that can be addressed at some point. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cunnililgus@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 week ago Yes, but Fairphone is partnered with Murena (e/os), and there seems to be a beef between them and graphene, so I imagine its out of spite, too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NuclearDolphin@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) GrapheneOS is also open source. Fairphone could realistically fork the project without meeting the requirements deemed necessary for the maintenance effort by upstream. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago I don't actually see why they aren't actually developing this.

Google has too much of a hand in it.. permalink fedilink source parent [–] perfectly_boiled_pizza@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) The team behind GrapheneOS want it to be really secure so they have specific requirements that the phones from Fairphone sadly doesn't meet. For a phone to meet all of these requirements AND still being everything that a Fairphone is would make the phone more expensive than the average consumer would be willing to pay. I know several enthusiasts (me included) that would pay for one, but there are simply just to few of us. permalink fedilink source parent
