<p>The recommended devices with the best hardware, firmware and software security
along with the longest future support time are the Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 3 and
Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL are budget devices meeting the same security
standards as the more expensive flagship devices. Compared to the Pixel 3a and 3a XL,
the flagship Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have wireless charging, dual front-facing speakers,
the Pixel Visual Core supporting HDR+ with compatible apps on GrapheneOS, IP68 dust
and water protection, a higher-end screen, slightly more durable glass and of course a
stronger CPU, GPU, cellular radio, etc. You should get one of the budget devices if
these things aren't compelling to you. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL do have one extra
feature: an analog headphone port as an alternative to wireless audio and digital
USB-C audio.</p>
along with the longest future support time are the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. Once it's
supported, the Pixel 4a will also be recommended.</p>
<p>Support for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL is currently less mature, but those along
with the Pixel 4a (once it's supported) will become the recommended devices due to
longer support and incremental security improvements for the device support code and
firmware. On the Pixel 4 and 4 XL, support for fingerprint unlock as a secondary
unlock mechanism has been removed and replaced with IR-based 3D facial scanning.
GrapheneOS plans to extend secondary unlock support with the option of 2-factor
authentication using a secondary PIN or passphrase required for fingerprint / face
unlock. It's likely this will be implemented first for fingerprint unlock, so that's
another consideration. The Pixel 4a has a fingerprint scanner instead of the dual
infrared face scanning cameras, so it would share the same implementation as the past
generation devices.</p>
