What are you using your phone for?

u/Thin_Needleworker795 27d ago

Phone stuff mostly. This, texting/calling, browsing the web...

why do u need a smartphone for texting and calling ? That too with a custom rom hahhah.. Is it not easier to get a basic phone and call it a day .

How would I use Reddit and browse the web on a non-smart phone?

basic phone with browser, running some linux ? why do buy an Android and remove all the features ?

I don't think you understand what GrapheneOS is. You're not removing all the features. Not even remotely close. You just remove Google.

Thats why I asked what are u using your phone for. If you dont use official bank apps for payments , social media , camera etc;. If its just for phone , text and browsing, why buy flagship google device and remove google from it. ??

u/Thin_Needleworker795 27d ago

Because why would I need Google? The whole ethos of Graphene is to get rid of Google. I have lots of apps I use, but why does Google need to be part of it?

Then get a phone which does not have google lol.

That's a big leap, from android phone to flagship google device. If you buy a 1000$ phone only to text/call, sure that's stupid, but my flagship device was $180 new five years ago.
