Hello, I am considering de-googling my mobile experience. It seems like Samsung has bad security on their phones, which is why GrapheneOS is not available on Samsung phones, I guess. Ironically, google pixel phone is supposed to be the best fit for GrapheneOS.
So anyway, should I switch ? Ideally, I want to keep my phone. But my phone is quite old at this point, so I can consider buying a new phone. If I buy one, which one should I get?
Also, I heard call and mobile data does not work well on GrapheneOS and the like. How bad is it?
graphene is only available on pixel phones which are not worth it.
install lineage and be happy.
The a-series of pixel phones are a great value actually
im my country those have to be imported, which makes them really expensive still.
i think they only really sell pixels in the us and europe?
Lineage is not de-googled I think?
it is. most people install google apps though to make it practical, but you can use it with microg or without google at all.
Ah cool! Would it work on a s10?
it works on most bootloader unlockable phones out there. either officially supported or unofficially but ymmv with them so vet them carefully before flashing your device with unofficial code.
the link the other guy posted can be used to search if a model supports it officially, and you can usually find unofficial builds on xda-developers or telegram channels dedicated to the model.
