@Revan_9766@mastodon.social The initial devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027. The initial devices will be flagships so they'll be higher end hardware than Pixels at a higher price. Lower end devices will take more time to meet our requirements since the updates and security features aren't as good. It's mostly due to how Qualcomm handles it. The latest Snapdragon flagships have the best security features. We'll also need Motorola to start paying them for longer updates below flagships.
Yeah, especially for modern phones. What good does the more powerful hardware do me? I don’t do anything on my phone where I need more processing power. A higher quality screen is nice, but all modern phones have screens that are of a high enough resolution to not matter. Just give it a larger battery and I’m good.
Have the Pixel 3A which gets pretty close. Does not have swappable Storage and only the latest security patches as there are still, what feels like, two random people backporting security patches as its not officially supported by LineageOS. Not sure how long that will last.
I guess Im the only one who would prefer cheaper phones. Midrange with a jack is far more appealing to me than some flagship.
I think, they reason they did this is because the only chip rn beside tensor that is compliant with what standards graphene has is 8 elite gen 5.

Totally with you. For me a perfect phone consists of:
I just want phones to last longer than a day again :(
I disagree with this one
You’ll need to upgrade again if/when the network support changes. I’d prefer that it was future proofed
I do not worry about that: I live in Germany. I’ll be long dead before anything changes around here 👍
You will never get a phone likes this.
Way to ruin somebodies hopes and dreams. :(((

Sorry I meant as a new phone
