Alternatives to GrapheneOS (lemmy.world)

Wanted to get a new phone since my S20 is starting to show its age. And with all the enshitification of Android lately I thought it'd be good to try a different phone OS.

However, I don't really want to buy a Google Pixel so GrapheneOS is a no go. I was really interested in the Fold 7 but it seems that will not be possible to get without Android. Thought DivestOS was good but it looks like support ended in 2024.

What other phone OS are people using?

More power to you! I enjoy browsing videos and reading webcomics too much to go back to a flip phone though. Don't go on social media much so if I go deeper down the rabbit hole, a flip phone may bot be out of the question. It would also be a great alternative for a work phone

If you also do that when going out, It means you are going about going outside the wrong way then. 😁

You using your phone as a pacifier while outside?
