Unfortunately they don't support any devices besides Google's Pixel: https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support
Supporting at least major Samsung models would help adoption.
GrapheneOS puts 0 compromises on user-security in addition to privacy. They don't really have anything to gain by supporting less secure hardware to drive adoption.
Motorola seems to be cashing in on providing the alternative, though, which is a win for everyone
Unfortunately Samsung is making it more difficult to impossible to unlock the bootloaders of their recent devices, but you can reflash some of their older models at least to ROM's like crDroid - https://crdroid.net/
Had not idea, that really sucks. Guess im in the same boat with samsung..
Buying Samsung is never the solution to anything. Plus, Motorola will have some cutting edge devices supported by GOS in about a year or so.
Or so....
I hope that means under a year, haha.
Saying the year of the Linux phone is the new year of the Linux desktop.
For me it has been the year of the Linux desktop for the last 8 years. I haven't missed anything for this long. I'm looking to get some detachable laptop, Intel 10th gen or newer to install CachyOS + GNOME on it, and make this the year of the Linux tablet for me. For the Linux phone, I'm not holding my breath, but certainly hope it isn't long before we can just choose to get rid of Android as well.
