Hello, I am considering de-googling my mobile experience. It seems like Samsung has bad security on their phones, which is why GrapheneOS is not available on Samsung phones, I guess. Ironically, google pixel phone is supposed to be the best fit for GrapheneOS.

So anyway, should I switch ? Ideally, I want to keep my phone. But my phone is quite old at this point, so I can consider buying a new phone. If I buy one, which one should I get?

Also, I heard call and mobile data does not work well on GrapheneOS and the like. How bad is it?

    I guess it’s good that we’re being spoiled by long update promises now, my Pixel is the first phone I’ve ever had that even has a support window, previously it’s just been “one major update, within a year if you’re lucky, and what the fuck is a security patch?”

      Yeah, true - it absolutely is an upgrade from all of my previous phones that spent most of their life EOL) Sad that this is like this for the majority of people.
