Unfortunately, it's hard to make Fairphone secure. No separate secure element (so much easier to do brute force PIN attacks) and always lags in monthly security bulletin patches and major OS releases (remember that the monthly patches typically only address high/critical vulnerabilities, for the rest you need OS updates, QPRs, etc.).
Until Graphene works out the deal with the OEM that they are talking to, Pixel is pretty much the only secure phone that allows installing alternative firmware.
- karambanoonoo 1y agoDoes that mean Graphene plans to support phones from other manufacturers than Google?
- snvzz 1y agoFingers crossed that's what it means and that it succeeds. I'd likely buy that.
- strcat 1y agoYes, but they need to meet our official requirements: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices We're working with a major Android OEM and it's going well so far. It's still in an early phase where they've assigned a small amount of resources to it to determine everything which needs to be done and then make the case for a much larger investment of resources. We expect that to happen and for it to go well.
- karambanoonoo 1y agoAmazing. I just wish there was a device with an IPS display supported (for PWM flicker sensitive folks).
