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 flagshig Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have wireless charging, dual front-facing
speakers, the Pixel Visual Core supporting HDR+ with compatible apps on GrapheneOS, 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>

standard hardware-based security features like the hardware-backed keystores, verified
boot, attestation and various hardware-based exploit mitigations need to be available.
Devices also need to have decent integration of IOMMUs for isolating components such
as the GPU, radios (NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular), media decode / encode, image

<p>It's not really a matter of time but rather a need for community support for the
project increasing. As an open source project, the way to get something to happen in
GrapheneOS is to contribute to it, and this is particularly true for device support
since it's very self-contained and can be delegated to separate teams for each
device. If you want to see more devices supported sooner, you should get to work on
