If this came with GrapheneOS and had the updates on time I'd buy in a heartbeat.

Obviously not ideal, but update latency is much better with other third party distributions like iodéOS or CalyxOS.

At least in contrast to other vendors, FP provides official support for microG, so this has been without noticeable loss of stability/quality for my use cases so far.

The issue I found was that you couldn't replace every single part of the phone, and also they never did the actual upgrade components that was promised. Instead just making more phones which in my view goes against the point.
