It is supported by LineageOS, at least[1]. I have been using one as a daily driver for the past week, and though the hardware is nice otherwise, the band support in the US is poor.

- ethbro 8y agoHere's how I look at it: Google - Wants my data, willing to play the long game, has the scale to properly support security updates Third party US manufacturers - Wants my data, playing the short game, suspect UI choices Chinese manufacturers - Wants my data, suspect UI choices, unknown motives with regard to data privacy Open source OSs - High data privacy, absolutely controllable OS Weighting between the 4, my threat model prefers a Google phone, despite the privacy downside. Google does creepy things, but ultimately they don't really care if a power user turns off tracking: they only care if everyone turns off tracking.
- Bud 8y agoThere's also this company called "Apple" you might want to look into, if privacy is relevant to you. ;)
- hutzlibu 8y agoYou have to trust them, though. They sayy they care about privacy and yes, they make most money on selling devices and not on advertisement, but who guarantees that is not to change any moment? And aren't they allready in the advertisement buisness as well? So also have a motive for getting and evaluating all your data?
