I am surprised Google still allows to open the bootloader, with all the bitching they have been doing towards sideloading apps, play integrity BS and making android more similar to iOS in general terms...
Googles devices have always been able to have custom ROMs, I even had a Nexus 2 long ago and that was moddable.
Yeah, but you need to concede that their efforts to block "unofficial" users have strengthened as of lately... That's why I think they might do a Xiaomi move sooner or later.
I didn't realize that Purism phones don't have internationally compatible modems. As someone who travels a lot, that's unfortunately a dealbreaker.
Por que no los e/OS with a Morena phone?
e/OS/ is often behind on Android monthly security patches by a month or more. Insecure and not very deblobbed of proprietary blobs, especially when compared to GrapheneOS.
e/OS is miles behind GrapheneOS and even CalyxOS. I see no reason to go that route if you'll be much better served by any modestly modern Pixel phone and GrapheneOS.
Does GrapheneOS support inTune Company Portal and work profiles? I would love to switch but my work requires these to install teams and outlook
GrapheneOS affords you the ability to have completely isolated and distinct phone profiles, where you can install all your required work apps. They are installed separate from your main profile, kind of like second or third phone. No need for a completely different device.
GrapheneOS instantiates an improved version of this feature that Android already offers. It's a great way to keep things separate. I do the same. Who wants to stuff their pockets or bags with more phones?
You can read about that here.
The best solution in that situation is to have a work phone and a personal phone. If your own private phone cannot install the work apps then it's up to your employer to ensure you have the tools you need for your work.
From an IT Security perspective that is what your employer should want too as that allows them to confiscate the phone if letting you go.
Tell me you don’t work in a non-union job in the USA without telling me you don’t work in a non-union job in the USA.
Well, you couldn't pay me to be in the USA
