I have multiple Pixel 7 phones GrapheneOS in my family with close to zero issues. It's a good choice for GrapheneOS IMO, except that support ends in Oct 2027. The Pixel 8 is still great also but has a more fragile screen.
I haven't used any newer devices with it yet.
- port11 1mo agoSounds good, thank you. The Pixel 8 is way outside my budget, it’ll mostly be a testing device for my mobile apps (gotta make them work on GOS).
- grapheneos 1mo agoGet a used Pixel 8a instead of a Pixel 7. Pixel 8 and later have 7 years of support from launch instead of 5 along with MTE. The 'a' series devices are cheaper but have a variant of the same SoC for 6th through 9th gen. A used Pixel 8a or a new Pixel 10a are both very good value.

- joshspankit 1mo agoIf you’re using Graphene as the OS, does it matter if support ends?
- port11 29d agoGOS has their own support policy, they can’t keep updating old(er) devices. So yeah, it matters, as some vulnerabilities wouldn’t be patched on some devices.
- joshspankit 27d agoAha, sorry, I hadn’t realized that GOS had their own EOL timeline. What I meant to ask was “If you use GOS, does it matter if Google ends support” and after your comment I read deeper to find the answer “yes, because GOS relies on Google to maintain the firmware”. Thanks for the push
