The US isn't the most competitive smartphone market, but that hasn't stopped a notable mobile manufacturer from entering the country.

      They won’t. I love Fairphone but hey have dogshit firmware. The fairphone 5 had a bug for quite some time where it showed that it had a audio jack. It doesn’t. GrapheneOS seems to want to focus on supporting one kind of device and supporting it well. They also plan to partner with a big OEM, which Fairphone is not.

        Ah that’s a bummer. Pixel makes the most sense as long as they continue to be easily unlocked. But it would be nice to have a more ethical/sustainable hardware option with privacy.

          You can have privacy if your threat model doesn’t require you to be a high profile target.
          Seuciry is important for privacy, sure but if you are willing to give up some of your security, lineageos is a good option. Sad that DivestOS is no longer around.
