    I need a new phone and I want to cry because it is seeming that the Pixel Pro with Graphene is the best I can do. New phones fucking suck, It’ not about “I need the MAXIMUM PRIVACY 90000” it’s “I want some control, I’m not buying a Samsung ever again due to the mountain of irremovable bloatware”

        I have a Galaxy Note 9 from the days of yore and it’s beginning to show its age, I need to replace it before it completely shits the bed, but like, what am I supposed to replace it with?

        I need a headphone jack, I need it to be powerful enough to run modest phone games to the tune of Arknights and similar, and I want to feel like I have a half decent amount of control over it (no apps I can’t remove within reason)

      I too was disgruntled with samsung and chose a pixel and grapheneOS. It does not have a headphone jack but I can reluctantly live with that. It has been the best OS i have ever used and I didn’t even have to root it.

      Happy Motorola G 84 user here. The only ding is the camera isn’t the best but for the price this couldn’t be beat.

        Frankly I think it’s a bit weird that phones have subsumed actual cameras existing, gettin’ old…

      I want a Linux phone not because I want privacy, no, I want to use my phone freely without rooting it.
