    No, the options are crap is what I’m saying. I really want Motorola to hurry up with that GrapheneOS phone.

      You do realise that GrapheneOS is based on AOSP which is still mostly under control of Google?

      one of the biggest problems is the gatekeeping role that Google plays with AOSP. No patches that the company dislikes get into AOSP, regardless of what a wider community might think of them.

          I’ve given up Android some years ago. Had a brief time with a BlackBerry and am now enjoying the comforts of the Apple ecosystem. But I’m contemplating going the dumb phone + Palm Pilot (or Psion) route. That being said, that FLX1s seems very interesting…

      How is Chinese-American Motorola hardware better than American Google hardware for running GrapheneOS? Seems like it could have double backdoors.

        Everything is gonna have back doors. Besides, the phones are all manufactured in China, what’s stopping them from altering production or creating clones with back doors? Heck, an iPhone sold in China probably gives the CCP access to the front door, so to speak.

      You say no and then mention you’re waiting for an alternative that’s coming so yes then?
