Would love to see oneplus support.
Doesn’t seem “it’s finally ready” when they didn’t name the name.
Amateur marketing speak for “we’re considering bringing it to other hardware”?
Yep, definitely more in line with that reality. 😄
It’s not marketing speak because GrapheneOS didn’t say it. It’s a bad headline from a site known for bad reporting. GrapheneOS has been talking about this for months and there’s nothing new in this article that wasn’t already out there.
No need to defend it. It was obviously a comment on the headline; I didn’t care who wrote it - the criticism was directed at whomever vomited it up. Tech publications are as much uncritical PR agencies for tech companies as the latter’s marketroids are.
I was trying to clarify, not defend. It is absolute garbage and this article as a whole is a pile of nothing, written in a weird breathless style like they just discovered something. Thumbs down to this shit all around.
That’s fair. 🙂
yes please!
I hope they also enhance their social media strategy, as their unprofessional and aggressive way of communication makes me question their trustworthiness more than I want, as I think the project is awesome.
I’m out of the loop. Any examples of this?
If you want a direct example you can check their replies on Mastodon to about every topic.
They shit on other projects all the time (frequently unprovoked, sometimes without the original conversation having anything to do about security). They also often reply with multiple posts with multiple paragraphs each when shitting on other projects. It shouldn’t take very long to find an example if you trawl through their replies on Twitter, Bluesky, or Mastodon.
They have good points, but they’re often either not relevant to the conversation or worded in such a way that it sounds like every project other than GrapheneOS is dogshit.
They also sometimes go on (IMO) paranoid rants about XYZ project systematically trying to destroy them or whatever.
I got the same vibes when they describe in detail how supposedly terrible Firefox on Android is for security. I actually didn’t believe them just based on the tone.
I mean, I think they’re right that the security is worse. I’m pretty sure it’s worse on desktop too, just not nearly as bad. Last I checked, Firefox on Android still doesn’t do per-site process isolation by default, for example.
Yes that is what they said. But the way they said it made me doubt that it matters quite so much.
I’m pretty sure it’s worse on desktop too
worse than what? What browser is better?
Blink-based ones (Chrome/Chromium, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.)
Somehow I don’t believe you when you say that those browsers are better for security.
Reminds me of our good friends on Lemmygrad.
it’s called effortposting
Seriously. I love GOS and can’t imagine using a phone without it at this point, but their social media is a shitshow and a half.
Yep. They need an actual comms professional. I love GOS and am forever grateful to the team but having a bunch of non-nuero-typical devs speaking for them is not doing them any favours.
For me, it would be the opposite. Their “unprofessional” and aggressive way of communications makes me think they are doing it for convictions rather then personal benefits. The person that’s helping you doesn’t need to be overly polite. The person trying to get something out of you does.
I got heavily attacked for basically nothing like a year ago, which made me feel really bad and I still think about it frequently. Whoever treats people like this does not gain a lot of trust from me. Also such impulsiveness should not be involved in such a project. No one needs to be overly polite but also not that hostile against people and like 90% of other projects out there.
Sorry, maybe I just did not see how bad it gets. I don’t follow their communications in detail. I wanted to say that being a bit aggressive is fine, but if it was really to the point of attacking you, than that is not ok either.
Imagine, they announce a Chinese phone brand, like Huawei or Xiaomi. Although that Xiaomi 17 Pro Max… damn.
Please let it be Nothing or OnePlus 🙏
I guess i know what my next year’s phone is gonna be.
I wish fairphone could be the thing, but unfortunately - doesn’t seem to be the case https://piunikaweb.com/2025/10/13/grapheneos-ending-pixel-exclusivity-new-oem/
I never understood why a privacy and security focused project would use Google hardware.
Because only Google provided everything needed to actually fully support the hardware it runs on. Besides, hardware is just the skeleton, as long as you exchange the brains inside, you are fine. Like a bomb shell but empty inside.
Still, I do not like paying money to google.
It’s like saying I don’t like drinking water from planet Earth. Good luck with alternatives.
I hope its blackberry, id love to see them re-enter the market, and i’d love an excuse to buy one.
that would be wonderful
I just want a smartphone with a physical keyboard again. That would be awesome!
A new modern and secure BlackBerry with a physical keyboard would be absolutely incredible
Finally escaping from Tensor jail. Hopefully the new phone has a decent design.

They supported Google because it was the only device with the hardware security features they needed

That defeats the entire point of the project, there are other custom ROMs that significantly improve privacy and security on non-google phones. What’s accomplished by graphene supporting them?
…needed.
Wanted. It was a choice.
Break free, implying they won’t support Pixels anymore (is how I interpreted it at first anyway), but they are simply expanding support for more devices. 👍
For existing Pixel users, GrapheneOS plans to maintain support for current devices until their end-of-life dates. The team is working on adding Pixel 10 support, though the timeline remains unclear. Whether they’ll support Pixel 11 and beyond hasn’t been decided yet.
Thanks for the relevant quote 👍
The article suggests that they have not decided whether to support new models of Pixel but will support current models until EOL
So so far only news of expansion. 👍
Cool! Gonna wait for a Graphene Phone now!
This needs to happen so bad. Very excited for the future of mobile computing. We are so back.
