I read a lot of good reviews and videos about GOS: high security and privacy. There are also other complaints which i can only know through random social media comments: app compatibilities, weird workflow (profiles),
My problem is that in my country, Pixels are very expensive even the refurbished models: the old Pixel 6 is like $500, refurbished one is $300. At that price, I could just go for a low end Android phone.
Is there a way to experience GOS like on an emulator? I want to try it out before buying a brand new phone to install.
I’m pretty sure you can run Graphene on other devices than the pixel, it’s the only officially supported for hardware security chip reasons, but the user experience is probably pretty close to the same regardless of device.
I’m having a hard time finding builds for non-pixels, but you may be able to find and test run it on something else.
