Yeah don’t get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they’re trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)
I mean, for most people I’d wager that “degoogling” is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that’s probably an okay tradeoff to make for many
Makes sense to me, especially since I’m in the same boat. I’m looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on
Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I’m thinking of a PinephonePro. It’s not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around
Damn. I remember looking at the Jolla once and forgot about it. Hardware seems good but I do see reports of issues with the local providers (Canada) and unfortunately it doesn’t look like they ship here either. Too bad as a Euro designed+built phone sounds great.
Didn’t Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices
Yes, as the pixel hardware is ironically secure.

In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.

Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.

It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.
Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.
