I assume it not completely locked down, but does it mean Google doesn’t have access to everything like I assume it does with Android?

    This is for security concerns, because all the firmware and driver are maintained by first party, so once the first party stopped maintaining firmware, there is no way for graphene to make the device as secure as a phone that is still in its support period.

    At that point, you can try to switch to lineage to increase the life of your device.

    That being said, graphene do offer extended support for some devices like pixel 4(XL) is still supported right now, but it made it very clear that it is “extended support”, and it exist only to help user transition to their next device.

      Which basically brings me to my question, how is LineageOS for should I call it basic privacy.
