I just got my pre-order of the Jolla Phone confirmed. I was super stoked on having a European Linux Based phone.

However Motorola announced collaboration with Graphene during this period.

I am really torn, I love Motorolas and have used them for the last five years. Also Graphene seems a bit more open source and secure ad I’ve always said I would switch the instant they launched on a non-google phone.

Does anyone here have input on this, or maybe suggestions for a certain comm where this question would find better ground? (I didn’t want to ask os specific comms as that would be unbecoming)

    How polished of an experience do you need? AFAIK there is no esim support with Jolla phones yet, which is crucial for me.

    At this moment there is no real competition to GrapheneOS in terms of privacy, security, and overall maturity. I would suggest to buy a second hand Pixel 7a or newer.

    If you can please also keep supporting Linux alternatives. I wish there was more political will to fund alternatives outside the US

      Great points. Im adamant in not buying a pixel, so that’s out.

      I wan’t to support Jolla, yet I really want to get aboard the Moto. That could be a year out, though, but supporting both is a bit rich for my blood. Hence the question.
