Title: Catalan cops link Google Pixel phones to organized crime
Post by: Redaktion on July 03, 2025, 13:13:58
Google's Pixel phones are apparently quite popular among criminals and gang members in Catalonia, Spain. The Catalan cops state that Google smartphones with GrapheneOS are a common tool among organized crime groups due to the advanced privacy features this combination brings.

"It can be installed on any Android phone" Ahsan Shanto man
this misleading is compleatly disappointing as installing grapheneOS
on other hardware is hard/very hard even for very technical people,
you would need to not only compile it for your target(device) and
do a lot of work/reverse engineering to make  things work plus
without proper hardware like titan chip installing grapheneOS is kind of
pointless notebookcheck has great quality reviews that's why Im disappointed
in your complete lack of understanding, posts like those lose credibility for
this great site, fact check and do better, also that recommendation is for
pixels from 7a onward not for other phones, peace

secured devices unable to support our features"
