Would you buy a modular phone made by Framework and GrapheneOS ported to the Framework phone by the GrapheneOS team?

Now that's next level cringe

>Would you buy a modular phone made by Framework
No
>GrapheneOS ported to the Framework phone
A modular phone would be very difficulty to keep secure and this would never be ported for this reason.

>>105989106 (OP)
>Would you buy a phone that completely shatters if you drop it, the battery flying across the room and the camera module sliding under the couch
No

>>105989106 (OP)
No because Jeet CEO.

>>105989106 (OP)
>Would you buy a modular phone made by Framework
if its modular yes
> and GrapheneOS ported to the Framework phone by the GrapheneOS team?
no give me linux

>>105989106 (OP)
No. With phones, the least moving parts, the better. Shit will break through daily wear and tear.

Cant you run android apps through waydroid with ubuntu phone?

>>105989106 (OP)
On Day one. But only if the Graphene Schizos did and approved the port.

>>105989106 (OP)
Yeah, but price it competitively like a poorco or oplus.

>A modular phone would be very difficulty to keep secure
why?

>>105990410
Because you are depending on a small company with limited resources to make security updates for parts they don't officially support anymore.

>>105990437
they push out firmware updates for old mainboards
why can't they do they same for phone shitware?

>>105990456
They could but no android phone makers except Google and very recently Samsung actually bother with security updates like they are supposed to and they would have a much smaller budget than them and be supporting more hardware.

>>105990524
what makes you think they'd make their own chips to start with?
Google makes their own now
Samsung just uses qualcomm chips which Framework would too for a phone most likely
that or the MediaTek alternatives everyone hates but those get kernel updates and support all the time from what I see

>>105989106 (OP)
What's the point of $600+ modular phones when $200 non-modular phones can last 7+ years?

>>105989106 (OP)
Yes. Where do I buy this?

>>105989922
They will be involved in the design process recommending what chips/hardware to use. It will be made with the understanding that GrapheneOS will be taking it on as a flagship phone the same way they do with Pixels.

>>105990437
GrapheneOS will be making the security updates and that's why they will be picking the hardware.

>>105990587
This. Poco F and X series are cheap and like all phones, can change most parts easy.

>>105989106 (OP)
Yes I would switch in a heartbeat, but this will only ever be a hypothetical question sadly.

>>105990557
Google doesn't make their own chips. Samsung makes Google's Tensor chips.

>>105989106 (OP)
At first glance it sounds sensible: want more memory, more storage, a better camera? Just swap modules. Trouble is, those phones are more expensive than just getting one regular phone that has everything you need in the first place. It's not like the old days when having a camera was a luxury. Also, when one part is outdated and could use an upgrade, so do all of them - and upgrading everything will cost more than just buying a whole new phone.

>>105990587
>what's the point of a $600 phone I can upgrade for years to come vs a $200 phone I can use for 7 years that gets shittier year by year?

i don't really see a point cus phones are already powerful enough and don't need hardware customization. modularity makes far more sense on a laptop or desktop PC.

>>105995338
its less about customization and more about upgrading the parts that you'd need to over time rather than tossing the whole phone in a bin every year

>>105995741
but phones are so tightly engineered that when you upgrade one component, you’ll usually want to upgrade the rest too. only exception i can think of is the camera.

>>105995898
one can hope for a better world than the one we have now

>I buy cheap phone AND swap out their parts when they fail

this is dumb as hell bro. don't waste your time
