> GrapheneOS has officially confirmed a major new hardware partnership—one that marks the end of its long-standing Pixel exclusivity. According to the team, work with a major Android OEM began in June and is now moving toward the development of a next-generation smartphone built to meet GrapheneOS’ strict privacy and security standards.

Damn, I just got a Pixel 10 pro XL for installing GrapheneOS. I hate how below average Pixel's hardware is and I wouldn't have minded waiting a couple of more years for this.

Pixel hardware is below average? Since when? That sounds like a flagship phone to me.

In raw cpu and gpu performance terms it is quite weak compared to other flagships.

You dont notice unless youre gaming or encoding video or doing other heavy workloads. The daily driver experience is very smooth.

The cameras and camera software is in the top 5 consistently though, the screens are also really good, so its a mixed bag hardware wise.

Meh good enough for everything unless you use your phone as a "gaming pc". But the extra open-ness and security is worth it for me.
