Devices that meet these standard security requirements can officially support GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices
GrapheneOS (npub1kwa…e0nj) is collaborating with a major OEM to build a subset of devices that meet security requirements to natively support GrapheneOS. We would have an alternative to the Google Pixel, on a device whose hardware is controlled by GrapheneOS.Collaboration with this OEM enables GrapheneOS to provide early access to security patches.
Currently, Google Pixels are the only Android devices that meet standard security requirements. GrapheneOS is a privacy project that enhances security to protect that privacy, so it will not lower its standards by officially supporting a bunch of insecure devices. These devices will require maintenance rather than allowing the project to focus on its core mission, and the project will not be able to offer good privacy/security to users. This is a problem on the part of the manufacturers, not GrapheneOS.
A used Pixel 9a or Google 8a at a good price would be an excellent choice if you are on a limited budget.
