I recommend not buying a device for GrapheneOS unless it's listed here:
https://grapheneos.org/faq#recommended-devices

You can see how much time remains for the device to receive security updates here:

Idkanytging Please go read the website before asking questions like this

Idkanytging GrapheneOS is working with an OEM to provide a device with the same or better level of security as Pixels. The problem is that they've said that the devices will "be priced similarly to Pixels."

Idkanytging second hand Pixel 6a are available at a very good price (100£) They're supported for the next 2 years.

Mods, is there a way to require users to read the official docs before posting on the forum?

userofgos

indigomadelin like a way to make it so that you can only post replies and new threads after reading the website documentation? I think that would be hard to enforce and be easy to fake (just like reading TOS before clicking "I agree")

I could always type one up in my spare time... :)

nandohyphen1 while you still can edit your big faq maybee add

If you want us to help you check your device, you should keep developer options off. No ADB, no Shizuku. Bootloader must be relocked and your device should be auto-updated. Recommended is to enable Security Preview releases.

nandohyphen1 superb start by the way, good shooting

Novalissoide oh dang, just saw this now, so I cannot edit it anymore. But I'll add that to it here in a bit. Just a bit busy at the moment. If you want to go ahead and add that if I don't get to it soon here, go for it! 😃

nandohyphen1

Novalissoide Thanks! :)

@Novalissoide , I've updated it now! ;) I've also put the link on my profile page, so it will be easily accessible (and so I can find it easier! :) )

charles25565 [...] same or better level of security as Pixels.

Nitpick: The goal is to meet or exceed the "list of requirements for future devices, which are standards met or exceeded by current Pixel devices" not necessarily to meet or exceed current Pixels.
