Hi,

A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

To be more helpful than the joke comments you’ve received so far, it’s graphene OS that’s causing a lot of controversy.

I’m honestly not quite sure, I just know people are getting riled up when it’s mentioned.
