To choose GrapheneOS or Ubuntu Touch as the OS for our privacy phone?

Last Updated on July 10, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

Rob Braxman recommends Linux phones as a good choice for privacy phones:

One solution would be a Pixel 3 with Ubuntu Touch. This device has good user reports as this one here:

other recommend

GrapheneOS

is a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

But which Google Pixel phone should I buy know as my privacy phone?

GrapheneOS supports:

Pixel 8a (akita)
Pixel 8 Pro (husky)
Pixel 8 (shiba)
Pixel Fold (felix)
Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)
Pixel 7a (lynx)
Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah)
Pixel 7 (panther)
Pixel 6a (bluejay)
Pixel 6 Pro (raven)
Pixel 6 (oriole)
Pixel 5a (barbet)

On reddit we can read:

The Pixel 3 is not supported anymore by GrapheneOS:

we can read in the above reddit post:

“A Pixel 3 with an unsupported version of GrapheneOS on it is still the most secure OS on the market for the Pixel 3 “

  • But the most affordable Google Pixel phone which is still supported by GrapheneOS is the Pixel 5a (barbet) starts around 200 USD factury onlockend on eBay.
  • A Pixel 3 factury onlocked was recently available from U.K. starting from 130 USD.
  • And we think it is worth the extra 70 USD for a device which is still supported by GrapheneOS.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalping?

Scalping is a trading strategy in which an investor buys and sells a single asset multiple times throughout the day. The goal of a scalper is to make a small profit over a large number of small trades, rather than a huge profit on each individual trade.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
