As of today, Samsung is rolling out Android 14 to the Galaxy S23, S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in regions including the UK and portions of Europe, such as France, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. The update weighs in at 350mb for users who are updating from the latest beta to the stable update, but for those coming directly from One UI 5.1, it’s an update of over 3GB.

things have since improved (at least where I am)

That's good.

But after using GrapheneOS for almost a year, I will probably never use any other mobile OS. I don't have to bother with preinstalled bloatware like Facebook or TikTok as well as spyware like Google Play services that I can't remove. It's also probably the most secure and private mobile OS available right now. It gives me back all control over my device and my digital life, it's just awesome. It's kinda like Linux in the sense that it empowers users to take back control over their systems, but it's super easy to use, it's basically Android without the crap and with improved privacy and security. You can use Google Play services if you want to, but they don't run with elevated privileges, you can revoke any permissions (including network access) and uninstall them anytime you want to.
