      Can’t they work it out? I don’t want to use Google hardware and I don’t want to use Google software. One provides one fix the other lacks.

        I believe only the Pixel phones have the security hardware needed for Graphene.

        They’re also one of the few phones left that has a truly unlockable bootloader without jumping through hoops or losing significant functionality.

          I know, but Fairphone should address this issue and GrapheneOS guy should work with them on it to bring support to an actual secure and private phone that doesn’t rely on big evil Google.

          You have to buy an OEM unlocked phone and the guaranteed way to do so it to buy it directly from the Google Store.
