I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

      Graphene isn’t the best choice for everything. It doesn’t have good backup solutions nor device to device backup or anything solid for complete snapshots and when restoring your so called backups you’ll realize what all it truly lacks.

      It’s hardened and has a lot of security and privacy features but none of that matters if your opsec is bad, or it’s feature set doesn’t match your threat model. I am not knocking it at all. It just isn’t the white knight for every case.

    Great idea, but will never take down here in south America

    People know that all these import parts and replacements are not exactly easy to pay for, even less to find. They need a cheap reliable phone that will at least handle day to day for years

    I mean come on, the average cellphone user here is still using the equivalent of a Moto G2 or Samsung J2 and thats stretching it.

    An S8 is still seen like luxury in here. And I’m not even going into iphones.

      I guess it depends on where you live in LATAM. Most of my friends and acquaintances own newer iPhones and fancy Androids. I’m the only one stuck with a G8. 😅
