Which devices are recommended?
-GrapheneOS is actively developing support for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. - These are much nicer hardware than the previous generation devices and the - Pixel 6 is a great deal. The minimum guarantee of 5 years of security updates - from launch instead of 3 years also means they'll last much longer as fully - supported devices.
+The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are flagship phones with much nicer hardware + than previous generation devices (cameras, CPU, GPU, display, battery), 5 + years of guaranteed full security updates / support and substantial security + improvements. GrapheneOS currently has highly experimental support for these + devices without all of the hardening features ported and with other missing + hardware features. If you can wait a few weeks for support to be fleshed out, + these are the only devices you should consider buying.
-The following devices offer the best hardware, firmware and software - security along with the longest future support time and are strongly - recommended:
+The cheaper Pixel 6 has extremely competitive pricing for the flagship + level hardware especially with the guaranteed long term support. Pixel 6 Pro + has 50% more memory (12GB instead of 8GB), a higher end screen, a 3rd rear + camera with 4x optical zoom and a higher end front camera. Both devices have + the same SoC (CPU, GPU, etc.) and the same main + ultrawide rear cameras. The + Pixel 6 is quite large and the Pixel 6 Pro is larger.
+ +The following devices are reasonable choices if you can't wait for + completed Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro support for GrapheneOS:
