    Tell me more about the phone! This has taken so long and I am ready to migrate to an open phone even if it’s only for texting at this point.

    Screw this OS monopoly by Apple and Alphabet.

    Open to simple solutions here. I have a Pixel 4a 5g and iPhone 12 atm.

      your pixel probably runs graphene, degoogle it.

      you could probably run linux on it today too.

      Well it might not even be a phone, maybe it’s only a software project that needs to partner with manufacturers that would include it in their phones. The article doesn’t really mention much.

      Either way, I’m starting to get excited.
