I'm holding out that more manufacturers will see the demand for Androidless phones and will either partner with some OS like Motorola + GOS or maybe sell them with bootloader unlocked to install whichever OS is preferred.
You think Nothingphone might be next candidate for GOS? Their concept phone shipped without an OS at all.
That video that they showed about that phone was 100% satire. Not to mention Nothing unfortunately is looking more and more like an Apple wannabe. Not trusting that company anymore after that crap.π
For real? That concept phone really checked a lot of boxes for me haha
Yeah...it really did. Thats the phone that you, myself and so many want and they really dont realize how big of a customer base they would get if they put that plan into action.
If the phone was real, i was so ready to be a customer of theirs. Ive been waiting for them to "make" a resonable size phone and not the phablets they have. Instead, they came out with the shitty Nothing 4b for their India market, which showed how bad in quality they've gotten. I highly dought after the phone 3 if theyll make good phones again. In the US market, only phone you can get of thiers is the Phone 3 and 4a pro (good luck trying to find the others) π
Depends on if future Nothing phones meet GrapheneOS' standards for hardware security, or if the Graphene team decides to partner with Nothing like they're doing with Motorola.
