You need one of the officially supported devices. To make sure that the device can - be unlocked to install GrapheneOS, avoid carrier variants of the devices. Carrier - variants of Pixels use the same stock OS and firmware with a non-zero carrier id - flashed onto the persist partition in the factory. The carrier id activates - carrier-specific configuration in the stock OS including disabling carrier and - bootloader unlocking. The carrier may be able to remotely disable this, but their - support staff may not be aware and they probably won't do it. Get a carrier agnostic - device to avoid the risk and potential hassle. If you CAN figure out a way to unlock a - carrier device, it isn't a problem as GrapheneOS can just ignore the carrier id - and the hardware is the same.
