Graphene is ridiculously easy to flash. Back up your data & plug in your phone then click install. Highly recommended. Been using it for years and I get very frequent security updates.
Hmm…looks like it needs a subscription for the OS, not sure about that. I’m looking for a new new phone myself.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !canada@lemmy.ca
I came across this phone the other day, another alternative but I haven’t looked too much into it.

Yeah, I’m considering GrapheneOS.
I had no idea Jolla were still developing. This device seems brand new. Interesting.

That could be fine. Cheaper hardware, without built-in cost of updates. Then you pay for update support.
I just want a graphene alternative for my samsung…
