I am currently using a Pixel 6a, with GrapheneOS.
However, since Google’s update to the battery, my phone is discharging very fast (talking about one percent per minute).
I have looked at changing the battery myself, however it seems to be a bit over my skill level. So, I am in the market for a new phone. (And quite pissed off at Google, especially since they announced the changes to signing, apks, the issues with graphene,…
This time, I would like :
- maybe try Linux?
- a headphone Jack
I have been looking at postmarket OS, however every supported device is quite old, and I’m not sure if/ how much they are usable today.
I looked at fairphone, but FP5&6 don’t support postmarket OS and don’t have a headphone Jack.
Currently, I am looking at the Jolla Phone (running SailfishOS), as it has a Jack, and runs Linux.
Do you know of other options, what would you recommend?
