Graphene os is a good alternative to android. Its privacy and security focused, and also does not come with google serviced preinstalled. The only problem is that its only supported on google pixels, and porting it to other devices is impossible.
Thats it, planned, and not yet released. But its good that at least in future there will be more options for a smartphone with foss operating system.
Also, while in practice it would propably never happen, i hope that in the future, more smartphone makers will put alternative operating systems on their phones, or at least make it easier to install third party operating systems on their phones, like it is done on googles own pixels.
You never know. For the time being, foss supporters and enthusiasts are the minority. But with the rising surveillance and information restrictions, such as it is happening with ID/age verification checks in many countries, people will start looking for ways to walk around all this pathetic chicken wire. VPNs seem to do the job for now, but I wonder if maybe alternative OS will gain traction in a not so distant future. They would allow for more flexibility and options

Didn’t I hear that they’re planning to release graphene on Motorola?
Really hope they’ll have an alternative to Google Wallet. One thing I’d miss.
