Sure would be the toppiest of tops!

We can encourage them to work together in their official communication channels too!

Would be good for both of them on every level. GrapheneOS learning to make their own phones, and Fairphone learning to make an OS while both being partnered

Edit: Be the change you want to see everybody!! Flood the gates with what we want!

Afaik Fairphone is not interested in implementing some security features that GrapheneOS people consider a deal breaker

I wonder why they don't want to, its not really in Fairphones to not do that

They are talking about specific hardware features. Which would of course be great, but you can imagine how they are not exactly at the toppiest toppy top of Fairphone's priorities, when they are still struggling to be taken seriously by your mainstream Android buyer.

Consider that every hardware features is extra hard for Fairphone, on account of their very specific commitments to materials sourcing, labor practices, and longer term support.

They are a company with a lot of very complicated demands, for a still very low volume of sold devices. They need to pick their battles, and clearly being blessed by the church of Graphene can't be that high a priority.

Graphene already has a partnership with Motorola now so the assumption is some time (I’ve seen 2027 speculated) we may get a Graphene Phone from Motorola. Mixed feelings about them partnering with a company like that but we’ll see how it goes. I still keep thinking about finally getting a secondhand pixel 10 so I can switch to Graphene from apple.

I would recommend it. Very worth it overall (As a user of a similar Pixel phone)

What are your use cases?
