Does anyone else find it a bit weird that the best phone to degoogle is a google phone? A bit sus, isn't it?
When open source hardware phone?
I use an old Redmi and Lineage OS. Works great.
Fairphones are a thing, but only CalyxOS is officially supported due to various security issues that Graphene refuses to compromise on (and rightly so).
A modular, pro-repair phone with timely software and security updates would be a nice second option for Android users.

It's a funny thing haha, bragging to people about how private and degoogled your phone is and then pulling out a device that has a big Google sign on it. I'm on CalyxOs by the way, a fork of Graphene I believe. Installation was a breeze btw, did it on several phones now, your grandma can do it.

GrapheneOS aims to create a secure and private system.
Google Pixel phones have stronger hardware security than any other Android devices currently on the market.
Adding devices that don't support privacy and security basics would undermine the project.
