I have written about Google becoming evil before, and that it’s getting even worse. And even if these aren’t really news for me because I’m following the GrapheneOS discussion forum, here is a nice conclusion on what will be their reaction.
The GrapheneOS team prefers to wait with the announcement until that “major OEM” does it. And whoever that is, I wish them both luck, and that this sole secure phone OS will become much more popular over time, and will sell like the proverbial hotcakes. There really is no need to be logged into any big provider all of the time, and that they can spy on your every move, in fact that should be forbidden – it’s NOYB guys!
So in case you want that only secure phone OS right now, get a Pixel 9a which is currently the newest supported device which can run it. Or if you can wait a year or two (like me), then this new and yet unnamed OEM might be the one to get a phone from.
Like always, thanks for reading.
