Sidephone

Was just reading about the Sidephone and how it does not have any Google Play services.

I know @GrapheneOS is thinking about looking to partner with phone companies. Thought this would be one they could partner with.

Especially since they avoid Google Play Services.

Love the idea of GrapheneOS being on many different types of phones.

dracula GrapheneOS already has an OEM partner that is the top 10 OEMs by sales in 2025.

dracula If actual specifications are available (most important: which SoC), that might be of interest.

But most "Wow, that's special!" phones are genuinely not likely as GrapheneOS platforms: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/30082-clicks-communicator-support/3

More "Wow!" has a high likelihood of meaning less time and money to spend on security, which is expensive.

There's scarcely any details on there, but I doubt it would meet Graphene's hardware security requirements.

jarell oh wow, I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing !
