    Pixels are the best phones to buy since you can install GrapheneOS…

      Yeah… But Google and US Big Tech have too much power and are making the world shitty for everyone. I’d like to contribute my grain of sand to someone else.

      Unless it’s carrier locked.

      I’ve a pixel 7a, and cannot install graphine without calling T-Mobile and convincing them to unlock it for me. Sure, I got OEM permissions, but I’m blocked at the next step.

        Only effects devices running official android not grapheneos. The graphene devs have been very open about it.

          I mean will I be able to install Graphene after the lockdown? Sorry if that is a naive question.
