For enthusiasts, it is literally an existing phone slapped on an XDA logo and LineageOS.
If it wants to legally ship with GMS, it still needs to pass CTS, and you still cannot root without breaking SafetyNet.
Might as well just buy any popular phone and flash any custom ROM.

For developers, this is no different than any other smartphone, maybe even worse than Pixels.
If this phone is for developers, I'd expect almost everything, including the bootloader, to be open source so people can *really* mess around with it.
Look at PinePhone, not this one.

So yeah, unless you are a diehard XDA fanboy which drolls over the XDA logo when you look at the back of the phone, I cannot see any reason why anyone should buy one.
Let me know your thoughts though, I'd love to know the reasons why you would disagree 😉

You're forgetting privacy enthusiasts who do not want to mess with their device and want to have a google free phone with a keyboard out of the box.

CalyxOS is not based on GrapheneOS and doesn't have the privacy hardening and security hardening in GrapheneOS. It's absolutely not a comparable project at all. Also, this kind of misinformation from the CalyxOS community is driving a wedge between the projects and causing harm.
