Those aren’t requirements, they’re nice side-effects of being Linux based. GrapheneOS meets my requirements, and Linux phones do not, hence why I use GrapheneOS instead of Linux phones. If both met my requirements, I’d switch to a Linux phone due to all the other nice features.
My requirements are pretty simple:
calls are a good experience - good enough audio, wakes up phone properly, etc
battery lasts all day, assuming relatively modest screen time
SMS/MMS works consistently - that’s what pretty much everyone in my family uses
a solid web browser, since that’s where 95% of my usage on my phone is
some form of TOTP option
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 4G LTE (5G is very much appreciated though); physical headphone port is appreciated, but not required
replacable/repairable hardware - at least the battery and screen, but the more off-the-shelf components, the better
the possibility of getting Android apps to work - doesn’t need to support everything, I just want to give it a shot
The last one is pretty squishy, and I’m actually okay having a dedicated separate phone if I need a specific app. Basically, I need it to be at least as good as a dumb phone, while having a smart phone interface. I’ll help w/ development on everything else I need.
omg are you my product manager
😔
