Hello, I am considering de-googling my mobile experience. It seems like Samsung has bad security on their phones, which is why GrapheneOS is not available on Samsung phones, I guess. Ironically, google pixel phone is supposed to be the best fit for GrapheneOS.

So anyway, should I switch ? Ideally, I want to keep my phone. But my phone is quite old at this point, so I can consider buying a new phone. If I buy one, which one should I get?

Also, I heard call and mobile data does not work well on GrapheneOS and the like. How bad is it?

    What do you mean pretty short, they provide it for as long as the manufacturer provides firmware updates and then seem to give extended support on top of that!

      Yeah, I meant that the manufacturer’s support is pretty short. For example, mine has it for just 5 years, later ones extending it to 7. Minus whatever you have to wait until you can afford the phone, since they are egregiously, unaffordably expensive new. So… Without Lineage, it would still be spending quite a while without any updates.
