It'll still be a while for me to get a new phone (maybe sometime next year), so still researching everything, but I might get a BraX3 that's running iodéOS.
I'll be honest, while Graphene may be the best out there, I'll take the supposed second-best instead, because it seems like leadership of it (Graphene) appear to be nuts from what I looked into, and it rubs me the wrong way that I'm restricted to a Google Pixel, a phone from the company I'm trying to get away from, to use that OS (i know i know, it's safe/all good, but still =P) and only have that single brand of phone to use it, and also Graphene will have a harder time with itself and new Pixel phones starting with Android 16 and up considering what google decided to change.
iodéOS is hardened like Graphene, from what I understood, but simply doesn't have the same extreme security measures that graphene does, but it can have them if someone or a group wants to develop/implement it.
That's my current mindset so far. It might change by the time I do end up getting a new phone, but so far, that's the goal
