★ GrapheneOS is the gold standard for security hardening — the only mobile OS with verified boot, memory-safe system apps, and proper exploit mitigations.
Compatibility: Google Pixel only (intentional — Pixel has the best verified boot support).
Always download from official sources. Verify checksums. Never from APKPure or third-party mirrors.

Trust Score: composite rating based on audit history, reproducible builds, update cadence, funding transparency, and community vetting.
Air-gap = never connect to internet after OS install. Verified boot = signed bootloader chain prevents tampering.

E2E = end-to-end encrypted by default. Audited = independent security audit conducted within last 3 years.
Prefer apps with reproducible builds and F-Droid availability (avoids Google Play dependency).

Experimental = actively developed but not production-hardened for all threat models. Evaluate carefully before relying on for sensitive communications.
Censorship resistance ratings: ★★★★★ = provably uncensorable · ★★★ = resistant in practice · ★ = limited resistance.

Never buy hardware wallets from Amazon or third-party resellers — buy direct from manufacturer only. Verify packaging tamper seals.
Open-source firmware = you can verify what runs on the device. Closed firmware = trust the vendor.
