A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

    A reason to try grapheneos if you are technically inclined.

      It’s easy enough for anyone willing try. Grab any Pixel from the last few years, plug it in to a computer, and click buttons in your web browser on the GOS website and watch GOS get installed on your phone. The instructions hold your hand the whole way through.

          I paid $300 for a mint condition 9a about a month ago on Swappa. Obviously the price is lower for other conditions.

          Bought a new 8a for 300,- a year or so ago. Way Cheaper than a flagship Samsung or iPhone, runs really smooth on Graphene.

      I soooo want that feature, but less and less phones will even let you unlock your bootloader. Graphene OS doesn’t get to support many phones.

        The bigger issue with GOS compatibility is the ability to relock your bootloader and a few other security features.

        Also, Motorola is releasing a GOS compatible phone next year. They consuled with the devs on what features were needed
