<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>
