The framework 16 exists in about the same spec space. Though it is quite a bit pricier, which buys you better modularity, if that’s you thing.

That is exactly my point: As long as the competition is constantly producing untrustworthy, inferior products, despite them being able to build superior ones, I don’t give a fuck about Google doing anti-trust practices as there’s nothing else to buy, anyway. It would be different matter, is they were actually preventing others from building and selling decent phones, but they’re not.

Sidenote: GrapheneOS is Android, but without all the untrustworthy shit and with good privacy controls. Thanks for not even searching the name.

Make me a phone that runs GrapheneOS and I’ll consider buying it. Without any software modifications made by you.
