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?

Fair enough. Like I said, I got mine, and I am a fan. At the end of the day though, so long as it's hardened and runs Foss apps then it's good by me. I couldn't see being pro-privacy enough to take the plunge on a hardened phone AND being consumerist enough to the point of brand loyalty, lol
