Hi,

A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

    Yes I agree. The product itself seems to be very good indeed. The problem people have is not with the product, but with the personality of the project leader. Personally I have used GrapheneOS for the past 3 months on a Pixel 7 Pro and I love it. My reason for choosing GrapheneOS was that I need a phone with a top quality camera, and I want a phone that is less than 3 years old. That alone sets GrapheneOS apart from many other projects as many only support older phones with low to mid range cameras. Then you have the privacy, security, and setting customization that graphene offers and it’s a clear top choice for me. Even if the leader is arrogant as some say, his product is good, and exactly what I need at the moment. So with no other projects offering what is important to me, I choose graphene for 2024. It’s solid.
