My biggest concern is the life cycle of the device. I almost went with Motorola for my last phone, but saw that you were lucky to get 3 years of OS updates. Is that likely to be better on GrapheneOS? If so, that is a huge win imo. If not, it still isn't ideal because I don't want to have to buy a new phone every 2 years...
GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.
Reading the original press release might be a good Start
Their Thinkphones pretty much always had good update policy
Almost like you cant really sell a 100€ device and expect it to be optimised like a mid range
Why do you think they are $300-500? I don't care about "only" 3 years of updates if i don't have to spend $1300 on a friggin cellphone.
fucking great, less enshittification when they stop shoving the updates down your throat.
Yea, except you aren't getting security updates either... Basically anything connected to the internet should be getting security updates...
