    I 100% understand and support why the moved away from google.

    And Motorola was a good choice. But they really should have supported some budget phones.

    A pixel series a could easily be found for under 500€ new. These flagship motorola phones are all way over 1000€.

    And the developer clearly said they had currently no intention to support cheaper motorola phones. Among other things because Motorola won’t offer 7 year updates for anything but these flagships.

    So, I get it. But let’s face it that people on a budget will keep using pixels for GOS while they are maintained.

      They didn’t specifically disregard budget phones. The budget phones just won’t have the hardware required to meet GrapheneOS requirements. They’ve states that as the next gen flagship hardware trickles down to the budget phones, there’ll be more options.

        I keep hearing this thing about the necessary hardware.

        What is this exotic piece of hardware that the GrapheneOS needs? Please, someone tell me what it is.

    Man, I would be all over the is of it was on lower end models so I can run graphene as my sketchy international travel phone. But I don’t really want to pay flagship prices for that. And I still believe in having a curated primary digital fingerprint.
