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…
GrapheneOS is rumoured to be working with an OEM to have a branded GOS phone. No word as yet of the status of this partnership. If you can wait you may be able to have GOS without a Pixel.
