This is cool for most people, but if you're doing anything even remotely not liked by the state, they will probably use you owning this as evidence you are a criminal. People in Europe were already getting profiled for having pixel phones by the police bc of Graphene OS.

Yep Google has done a lot for us over the years but they have become fat and evil and it's time to move on.

Yeah, I'd happily buy a non-pixel device if it can run graphene

Literally the only reason I bought a pixel. If they do this and it isn't shit, it my current pixel might be my first and last.

Good for them. This is 100% in the spirit of open source and basically what Amazon tried to do a decade or more ago.... and failed.

Are you talking about the situation in Catalan?
The way I'm reading it is more like: "many criminals are using graphene" rather than "graphene users are criminals".
It's a small step from one to the other, I'll admit.

My hunch is that the OEM is looking to go after enterprise phone sales and views Graphene as a competitive advantage for that market.
Blackberry seems like a natural fit, but I don't know what their manufacturing capacity is looking like these days.

Don't disappoint me. I'd love to buy a non-Pixel GrapheneOS-supported phone. It won't be long before I'm in the upgrade market neither.
