There's a deGoogled version too!!

I would prefer GrapheneOS (If I can live with the irony of getting a Pixel phone just to deGoogle it...). Sandboxing there is way better. But you lose the Repairability.. Gotta check and compare the new EU metrics too.

They are just two different devices.

[–] Mora@pawb.social 14 points 13 hours ago

I not only want a degoogled version but also a secure one. Sadly developing a secure android is rather hard. The Graphene team does it pretty well. Others try it too, but sadly they are not close.

Degoogled version is €50 more, for whatever reason

[–] anzo@programming.dev 41 points 13 hours ago

the reason: support for developers. You can install it yourself to save that amount.

People don’t want to pay for privacy. That’s the real problem with end users. Imagine if more people did so. What a world we could have. Nah. Let’s be cheap AF!

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Because the built in software is usually there because the manufacturer is receiving money from the software company. That's why consumer devices are always bloated with garbage.

I bet PostmarketOS will release for it

GraphineOS is more secure

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

We know GrapheneOS only makes their OS on Pixel phones or whatever their own device will be so it's moot

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Thats because pixels fit the rigid standards, if Fairphone met them they would make a version for them

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

That would be great but that's just not the way it is unfortunately

[–] Quik@infosec.pub 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why do you think so? We still don't have proper support for the Fairphone 4 on pmOS, why'd the 6 be any better?

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Because as you said it is available in some capacity already. Plus people complain about the slow speed of the 4 so maybe people will want to develop quicker for the 6. I could be totally wrong but I'm hopeful

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?
