That's cool. Let me know when it gets support for GrapheneOS and finds it's headphone jack again.
Big red flag:
... That's because it comes with vanilla android, unless you buy the e/OS version or flash it yourself
Doesn't that basically equate to "yep, this is an android phone?"
Yup. My current one is dying and I'm using it almost always wired to a charger or battery. I don't care how badly they try to waste my battery, I'm not buying a new Android phone ever. If this one dies, I'm prepared to not use a phone until there's a reasonably priced Linux phone.
Just replace the battery then. Most phone shops have the ability and tools to do it in about an hour to 3 hours.
I'm afraid. Lol phones with non replaceable batteries suck.
They are replaceable, it just takes some tools and work, both of which you can get at the phone repair shop.
What a non sequitur.
I'd just install another OS to begin with. But again, I'd reaaally like it to be GrapheneOS. And then again, Pixels also come with all that crap (and much more) enabled by default.
Graphene doesn't. The way I see it is like buying a laptop with pre-installed Windows, and replacing the OS.
