I always thought Pixel was the platform to have for fucking around with the OS and stuff. Of fucking course I was an idiot.

Don't be too hard on yourself, they definitely put money and effort into influencing opinions in all the subversive ways they can manage. But also, let this be a lesson to always check alternatives and their reason for existing. I consider it part of best practices.
Anyone have a wild guesstimate on when this will be available?
When the phone comes out lol /joking
Fr tho i think they reveal new phones every April? So if not April this year then April of next year.
The reason I got my ZFold5 was I like the fact that it could open up and give me a larger area to view and bigger keyboard. I have gotten the biggest phone I could get for the last 15 years or so because I have a hard time seeing the tiny screens. I would be happy to switch to a new OS but my old ass needs a bigger screen.
You need one of these!

WTF who makes that? EDIT--- Samsung. I really want something I can put Graphine on.
Nah, this is Huawei's offering. Came out in late 2024. It's called the Mate XT.
And it's China exclusive. You definitely can't put GraphineOS on this baby.
Guess who just added 5 different AI Sloperators into their OS lmao.
This is actually supported by GrapheneOS currently, if you need that extra push. 😉
Seems like a good move. They need some market they can dominate, even if it's a small market at the moment. But, the only way this works is if we buy their phones. I wish them luck, and maybe they'll make my next phone. I want to get out of Apple and Google.
Presumably it's only a matter of time before Google takes the 'OS' out of AOSP and tells all non-approved partners to go kick rocks.
Great play, Motorola. And I'm not even against it. Take my money.!
Looks like my next phone is going to be a Motorola. Having been on Graphene for 2 years now, I can't go back. My wife is still on stock and its cringe for me now.
Very interesting, I'll keep an eye on Motorola phones. Not that I need a new one anytime soon, but still that's the kind of thing that could be refreshing to read news about.
