This article fails to mention GrapheneOS.

The article starts with Murena, Punkt, Volla which are all based on Android. If you do this, then imho you must mention GrapheneOS, the by far better option (updates, privacy, security, organisation).

Google Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best non-Google phone... ;-)

GrapheneOS doesn't fit the criteria of the list.

As much as I like graphene it is literary running on google hardware (atm) and uses asop. Even if it is a really good option is you want to run degoogled and secure android.

I’m waiting to see what they come up with for the Motorola partnership. Hopefully it’s interesting.

GrapheneOS requires a Google Pixel (currently) though. That's why they omitted it I imagine

I hear the requirements for running Apple's mobile OS are quite stringent too.

GrapheneOS is a Google OS - it's a slightly modified Android developed by Google and continues to be dependent on Google for updates.

(Murena /e/OS is similar. No, slamming the downvote button won't make either of them any less Google dependant OSes.)

you are being downvoted because the article considers de-googled versions of android acceptable. and neither are dependent on google in the sense that even if google stopped publishing android source altogether they could continue to develop the versions they already have. that's the whole point of Free Software and Open Source.

		Yeah, and that's utter nonsense. Noone is really stepping up to develop Android beyond repackaging it. If Google decides to remove a feature, GrapheneOS and other forks will end up without it too. If they stop publishing security patches, the forks end up insecure too. It's just like all the Chrome "forks" when ManifestV2 died. None of them survived for more than a few versions until maintainers lost interest. Calling any of these Google free is downright lying.

> This article fails to mention GrapheneOS.

From Wikipedia: "GrapheneOS[b] (/ˈɡræfiːn.oʊˈɛs/) is a free and open-source, privacy- and security-focused, Android-based operating system"

So still Android.
