I've used many phones over the last 20+ years. Graphene is the only phone OS that has covered off my security and privacy needs completely.
I don't care about flash bang bells and whistles that you find on Samsung phones for instance, which surruptiously sends a constant stream of user metrics back to Asia. Also, I don't care for living inside the walled Apple Garden of the iPhone, where your login permits Apple to spy on you within their ecosystem. IPhone users should stop pretending that they don't. The term client side scanning should knock such notions on the head.
I can survive the Google play Integrity thing, because I have complely banished Google from my workflow and all apps that have it baked in. The only app I really miss is Google Home which I used for casting TV channels. I get everything else from appstores such as Obtainium, Accresant and the excellent Zapstore (which also has many nostr apps).
If you have queries, trawl their very active support site https://discuss.grapheneos.org/
Good luck 👍
