I have had my ZFold 4 going on 3 years now. The battery is degrading significantly and the factory screen protector is peeling off.

Google has been shitting the bed; lately it is much worse and unlikely to get better.

I’m looking to alternatives; it looks like google pixels are the most recommended (GrapheneOS, Lineage, e/OS); I am not happy about supporting Google, so will not buy new.

I wish there was a real alternative; Jolla and fairphone don’t ship to my country, purism is far too US centric.

What to do…

    if OP hasn’t heard, GrapheneOS team revealed … that they are collaborating with a mainstream Android device manufacturer (OEM) to provide official system support for some of the manufacturer’s future devices.

    That article is very low on detail. 🤷

    And whenever Graphene OS is mentioned, one must also mention its leader (first lead dev, now director) Daniel Micay. Personally I think he’s mentally unwell. For many years he’s been attacking even the mildest critique in the most vicious ways, and ultimately - even if the code itself were genius - I cannot trust an OS developed by such a person. If you don’t believe me, watch this Louis Rossman video.

      One can legitimately argue that Daniel’s paranoia is the reason GOS is so locked down.
