Thinking of buying a new #smartphone? Maybe a #Google #Pixel because of long updates & #GrapheneOS? Think carefully about whether you want to buy the new 10 series after its release or rather one of the 9 series? The 9 series has support until August 2031, the 9a until April 2032.

Why not (more) the 10 series?

"In April 2025, we received leaked information about Google taking steps to strip down the Android Open Source Project. We were told the first step would be removal of device support with the launch of Android 16. We didn't get details or confirmation so we didn't prepare early."

This makes supporting the 10 series significantly harder for the #GrapheneOS project. The project is looking into supporting other devices from other manufacturers, the process seems difficult - see #Fairphone: grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/

GrapheneOS MastodonGrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social)@frej@fosstodon.org Fairphone's devices have atrocious security and very poor long term firmware/software support. They lack proper updates from the start and are missing more of our requirements than a typical Snapdragon Android device. They're further from providing what we need than most Android OEMs. We don't think they're capable of building what we need and they haven't shown an interest. They're partnered Murena who are misleading people about privacy and heavily attacking GrapheneOS.

Etwas beunruhigend, dass das mit den überhitzenden und sich aufblähenden Akkus bei Googles #Pixel-Reihe ein systematisches Problem zu sein scheint. 😕 Es droht ggf. akute Brandgefahr, ein kostenloser Austausch ist möglich.

Der #Akku meines #Pixel6a hat sich kürzlich dem Augenschein nach ebenso aufgebläht, während ich passenderweise auf ein neues Gerät migriert bin. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass #Google dieses Problem bei neueren Geräten in den Griff bekommen hat und #GrapheneOS die Maßnahmen und Vorabwarnungen ebenso umsetzt...
