## Editorial review

Android fork by Calyx Institute. Compared to GrapheneOS: ships microG out of the box (Play Services compatibility), bundles Orbot for system-wide Tor, integrates the Datura per-app firewall. Slightly more user-friendly trade-off for slightly looser security posture. Pixel + select hardware supported.
