I am toying with the idea of buying the GS6 with Murena e/os, but there is very little information about this phone. I was wondering if somebody had tried it

    Same story for me: I got a refurbished Pixel for less than $200 and installed GrapheneOS in a few minutes. I wanted a secure OS, but I got something better: the most plain, stable, and dull Android you can have. It’s perfect for me.

    My next phone will be either the Motorola/GrapheneOS, or a Sailfish thing on a cheap Sony Xperia.

    /e/ OS looks like a fork of LineageOS, which is not a good selling point because I cannot buy a refurbished phone for that, and the advantage over LineageOS or GrapheneOS is not clear to me.

      One of the advantages is that if you have to buy a Pixel to use Graphene then you are basically rewarding Google (even if you are buying secondhand). E/os USP is it comes pre installed option on Fairphone which are the moment is the most ethical way of buying a phone - if that is of concern to you. It is to me so I have bought one. By all accounts they have solved a lot of compatibility issues with banking apps so I might give eos a go myself.
