Does this work well with Graphene or it’s better with CalyxOS ?

Graphene only supports pixel devices afaik

correct, 6a and up

Thanks!

Good to know! Thanks

Consider getting not the lowest supported device, as google and graphene eventually stop support of older devices. This means you are stuck with outdated hardware.

Check for a pixel 7 refurb on amazon, your local phone stores/e-commerce shops

This makes sense. I’ll take a look

Yeah 7a new unboxed on ebay for like 309, you flashing it anyway so no need for it to be new new.

Get a refurb 8 for 50% more and it'll last 2x as long.

I went with the 8 for this reason.

Refurbished on Amazon for 3.5 XMR or so and guaranteed updates until 2030 I think

by comparison the Pixel 7 is only getting updates for another 3 years and the Pixel 6 for 2.

I don't know. It's just the cheapest Samsung phone. Not sure if it supports GrapheneOS

Good to know.

Others are saying that graphene is only for pixel phones
