Two things:
-please let it have a processor meaningfully better than an A13 Bionic (the iPhone 11 processor, my current phone, a 6 year old chip at this point)
Well, it's as paintful to use as a lineage os phone w microg (not a full implementation). If you want security and usability, use GrapheneOS.
does eos have well known pitfalls in this regard?
No AVB yellow state on most devices (bootloader relock with custom keys), MicroG (while actually a cool project) Isn't a fully functional implementation (no Chromecast if you enjoy self harm, no U2F, FIDO authentication, etc.), you also can't use safetynet (for banking apps) with unlocked bootloader
This is actually incorrect, on almost all devices that Murena sells the bootloader is locked. I think you are confusing their official builds with their community/volunteer builds
Wow, so it's actually somewhat decent. If I had money to actually choose a phone, I would still prefer GOS.
Gos only subdues to Google phones, this is actually it's own project
