GrapheneOS (@[email protected])

@[email protected] The initial devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027. The initial devices will be flagships so they'll be higher end hardware than Pixels at a higher price. Lower end devices will take more time to meet our requirements since the updates and security features aren't as good. It's mostly due to how Qualcomm handles it. The latest Snapdragon flagships have the best security features. We'll also need Motorola to start paying them for longer updates below flagships.

    I guess Im the only one who would prefer cheaper phones. Midrange with a jack is far more appealing to me than some flagship.

      I think, they reason they did this is because the only chip rn beside tensor that is compliant with what standards graphene has is 8 elite gen 5.

      Totally with you. For me a perfect phone consists of:

      • Big Ass Battery (BAB) (Also make it changeable, so i can bring one with me and “charge” it in a second)
      • Headphone Jack
      • USB-C (Obviously)
      • 60Hz Display (Once you look at 120Hz you can never go back so I dont want to, also it drains battery)
      • microSD-Card (You can change, maybe with support to up to 1 TB just for funsies)
      • 4G (It is more than enough. 5G also drains your battery)
      • One Camera (Honestly still not over how goofy those 2+ camera sets look, they are even on cheaper phones nowadays)
      • Latest Security Patches
      • Normal sized and light (Have to be able to reach the top with one hand.)

      I just want phones to last longer than a day again :(

        Too late for me. My current phone has 165 Hz (Motorola Edge 40 Pro) and I don’t want to go back to a mere 120, let alone 60.

        My dream phone would be similar, but with 5G and the usual larger size (imo the tradeoff is worth it in my case).

        It would also have a silicon carbon battery to have the huge capacity, and most importantly a CPU limiter in the OS to stop it from eating up power by constantly turboing.

        I disagree with this one

        4G (It is more than enough. 5G also drains your battery)

        You’ll need to upgrade again if/when the network support changes. I’d prefer that it was future proofed

          I do not worry about that: I live in Germany. I’ll be long dead before anything changes around here 👍

          Way to ruin somebodies hopes and dreams. :(((

          Have the Pixel 3A which gets pretty close. Does not have swappable Storage and only the latest security patches as there are still, what feels like, two random people backporting security patches as its not officially supported by LineageOS. Not sure how long that will last.

      Yeah, especially for modern phones. What good does the more powerful hardware do me? I don’t do anything on my phone where I need more processing power. A higher quality screen is nice, but all modern phones have screens that are of a high enough resolution to not matter. Just give it a larger battery and I’m good.
