I'd like to switch phones soonish and was looking at the fairphone 6 with /e/OS but feel deterred by its mid range specs which would probably limit its longevity. I would like to get away from google.

Is waiting for the new pixel and then putting grapheneOS on it a good way forward? Seems weird to pick a google device to get away from that company.

Has anyone else done the same?

Alternatively, there is the iPhone but I do like fdroid and the more open nature of android.

I did end up going for a Pixel + GOS. Although it is conterintuitive to use a Google device to get away from Google, according to GOS developers themselves, the Pixel series were the only devices that met their strict requirements for security.

From personal experience, been using it for almost 3 years now, and it gives you 95% of the benefits of Android while giving you back control over your phone, and being generally more secure.

Just stay out of the radar of the leadership, they can be a bit abrasive, for the lack of a better expression.

I wonder how long it would take them/grapheneOS to support the new Pixel…

They have been usually pretty fast !

I think the Pixel Tablet was a matter of a week or two.

There seems to be two challenges though that popped their nasty head lately. Some developer being temporarily unaivalable due to personal issue, and something about Android Open Source Project (GOS is built upon it, to put it simply) not necessarily support upcoming Pixels.

But the team seems resilient and motiviated to keep the project going.
