   I'd love to get a linux phone but the librem wait time seems to be at least a year (that blogger said he'd been waiting since 2018) and the librem5 is $1200. I can't really justify spending that much on a phone.

   My limited understanding is that smart phones also have firmware that is distributed by the manufacturer that also requires security updates. So grapheneos takes care of the operating system, but google would need to provide the firmware up

   My concern with getting a pixel less than 6 is that the phone would only be supported for a year or two by google which means I'd have to get a new phone or have firmware that is not receiving security patches.
