-
It's quite paradoxical, but it takes Google 'Pixel' devices to completely ban Google from these devices.

Already in!
I bought a Pixel 6A recently and I flashed it w/ GrapheneOS. Just final polishes, infrequently use apps, and all done!.

Hope you are still happy with it and no problems have arisen. -
@ingolftopf I'm quite happy with the choice I made by buying the #Pixel6A to have #GrapheneOS, lots of good things and only a few concessions have to be made for security and privacy.
The bad thing is the apps, the most important (for me) is that I don't have the 360ΒΊ mode and panoramics (GCam port) it doesn't show me the photos I've already taken. And
I don't have a TTS engine that would be useful for GPS directions.I found a TTS engine without Google dependency, isn't the most awesome voice but is understable and in my language. (for OSMAnd+)Apart this,
% pleased:
Good pics, good battery life...good security, apps behind the line...sun is shinning and an user is happy, what else?Edit: Updated 25/01/23
