I heard about this the other day. Can get a phone sent from Calyx with everything pre-loaded:
https://members.calyxinstitute.org/enroll/membership/phone
Personally, I picked up a used phone from someone I knew and flashed #GrapheneOS myself. Incredibly simple if you want to go the route of trusting Graphene’s site with the install.
Flashing it yourselfx as you did, really is quite simple. I actually direct new users to that route instead of buying a preflashed phone. Preflashed phones cost a fortune and aren't necessary for 99% of people
Which is one of the things that stood out to me regarding the Calyx Institute phones. Seemed a lot more reasonably priced than I was expecting.
Seems like a good option for my grandmother who hopped of the tech train with her vhs.
