    BB would be a good alternative nowadays. No Android though.

      It would be android though because the last BlackBerry was the days of every phone having it’s own UI or OS is dead

        It’s a shame. Tired of Android and iOS.

            As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It’s restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.

      No way they will bring BB 11 OS back. Android emulation is just not good enough and without it you would have 0 apps.
