You wanna buy a smartphone? Well, you have lots of choices! Oh, you want security... Sheesh, look at this nut here. Probably gonna ask for a tinfoil hat too... But hey! You can have, uh... GrapheneOS with a shitty Pixel phone! :) No, there's nothing else that will run GrapheneOS. No, it won't be updated on older Pixels.
Alright, you want a Linux phone instead? Well, you can certainly have one! As soon as you cough up $900+. Oh, many of them already sold out. Dannnng. Well don't worry! If that price is too high, you can cough up $400 for a nice Pinephone Pro! That has buggy core software... What, you don't like bugs in some base phone functionality? Man, you're so picky!
Well, you can always go back to running a nice Android! Maybe with a custom rom for extra security! No, none of them are nearly as secure as GrapheneOS. But you can decide what features you want! A removable battery, unlockable bootloader, no notch or punchhole, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a notification light... No, you can't have all of those features at once! Get real! Next thing you're gonna ask me for is a Samsung Galaxy S5! Oh boy, what a kidder you are! ^^
