I want to deGoogle my phone - Alternatives to GrapeneOs and Pixel(google phones) (lemmy.world)

Im not keen on trying to deGoogle only by purchasing a Google pixel... -_-

Please provide other options with nothing to do with google or microsoft., Such as Fairphone, etc.

As you know(or may not), new CPU's from intel have remote access hardwired, regardless of the OS you are using. I suspect Google outsmarted the GrapheneOS userbase and went one step ahead.

Google Pixels with GrapheneOS were the only Android phones to withstand the backdoor software the FBI used to access the Trump shooter's phone.

Sorry but I don't believe that. Sounds like a marketing pitch to attract a specific user. Just how EncroChat was marketed to certain people, once enough were on board, they flipped the script and caught all users xD.

Who announced the FBI couldnt backdoor GrapheneOS? Was it themselves? lol

Of the 3 phones he had, yes. That's a very small sample size.
