My phone has hardware kill switches for modem, WiFi/Bluetooth and mic/camera. All three together also kill all sensors.

Did you consider PineTime?

I disagree that such requirements are minimal. Nothing prevents running GrapheneOS on a device with lower requirements. It's a questionable choice by the developers restricting the choice for users.

I'm not convinced that all of these is required for security. My Qubes OS desktop is probably more secure than any GrapheneOS phone, and it only requires good hardware virtualization for that. > If the hardware is an open book then

I use Librem 5 as a daily driver. It has no dependence on Google.
