It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

GrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their users security and privacy. So I won't be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick.

Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or in 2027.

Is there a source available for that?

Sorry, I meant for the Fairphone refusing their help part. I haven’t read that and find it interesting. Thanks anyway! I’m optimistic about Moto.

I got a Google pixel 10 just so I can have GrapheneOS as soon as possible. I am glad that Google's plans to lock down Android are blowing up in their faces.

Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn't include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).

I mean, if you want to call it a beef, go ahead. But it's not like it is an unreasonable request, since it is necessary to make sure short pins used by most people are at least a bit secure.
