LineageOS and the like can be installed on many makes and models. GrapheneOS has always been kinda niche, because they provide a privacy-first environment that's only useful to highly committed users, and they don't even bother trying to support phones that would overburden their very limited resources. Currently that means Pixel 6/6a/6pro or later, Pixel Fold, or Pixel Tablet. Used Pixel 9a is typically available on ebay UK for £200 or so. @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

@Flittermouse@girlcock.club @archigato@fosstodon.org GrapheneOS is privacy project and privacy depends on security. We have very reasonable hardware security requirements which are listed at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices. We only expect industry standard updates and security features. The only non-Pixel Android devices meeting these requirements don't allow using another OS. We're officially partnered with Motorola and they're making devices meeting these requirements with official GrapheneOS support. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116159602850585685
