That's nice, but how much will those phones cost? Will GrapheneOS be an option on the low end devices or will they only support "some" devices, which happen cost as much as a Pixel anyway?

Hey mate, don't need one of the Motorola's, buy a second hand pixel, I've got a 6 and a 10 pro (soon to be converted to GOS now that there are stable builds since it's my daily).

It's a bit of a shock compared to stock android but you'll actually feel like you own and control your phone again (like I do here on the pixel 6), but you'll lose features like the scam block, hold for me etc. that the stock OS does).

The onus becomes on you to keep the device secure, you can do another user profile to install stuff you want separate and it works nicely. It's all sandboxed and asks your consent before giving any permissions to an app, like android used to.
