The makers of GrapheneOS have confirmed they are partnering with a major Android OEM to bring the OS to Snapdragon-powered flagships.

They haven’t named the company yet or shown prototypes, so this is probably a couple years away. I’m on Pixel 8 right now, and I’ll probably buy the latest Pixel that can still run Graphene next time I get a new phone.

Think I saw them respond that they were aiming for last half of 2026 to 2027 for the new phones.

Honesty I would just wait it out if I were you. I really regret getting the pixel 9 (since my last phone broke).

There is nothing new in the pixel 10 the only area that desperately needed improvement was the battery which is just as bad if not worse than the 9 and the modem still sucks. It is not fully bad but because of low reception it fights harder to get signal and therefore burns away the battery even faster.

Plus, no sim card slot on the 10 in the US market

Google also didn’t release the source for the 10, so I’d expect the support to always be subpar compared to the previous models

Yea I’m in no rush. I do 80% charging and I really don’t use my phone that much. It should last me a while
