Small phone with privacy friendly OS
(feddit.org)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
The pixel 8a is slightly narrower than the pixel 5 (~1mm) and shorter (~4mm), so that could be a replacement, the 7a has similar physical dimensions to the 8a if you want something used/cheaper.
And the 9a is speculated to be released around March, so Graphene is sure to be close behind whenever it drops (if they need to adjust anything at all).
I'll be getting a new phone soon but is it a good idea to attempt to flash a new OS on a new kinda expensive device? i hate the idea of a used phone, but i wouldn't wanna brick something worth a month's rent. been over 10 years since I've attempted that (unsuccessfully).
If you are flashing GrapheneOS, it is a very simple and safe procedure. I've even interrupted the flashing when my laptop went to sleep, got the system corrupt warning, and just flashed again without a hitch. All that's needed now is a browser with WebUSB support and USB cable.
