GrapheneOS Advice needed.

I want to buy a new google pixel 6, or 6 plus phone.

But I want to go to a store and pay cash - off the record.

I want to make sure it is - carrier unlocked.

But I also want to make sure the boot loader is unlockable also. (I think using the stores wifi, to install the latest version of software I can then get into the developer area and unlock the boot loader.

Then I want to install GrapheneOS.

Thanks everyone and anyone with advice.

I don't know if Best Buy would still sell last year's models, but if they did, that's an option for you.

Was just on the online store, not seeing the 6 which I want also

My nearby stores didn’t have in stock, but could get in a few days.

Thanks Derek. Best Buy can get it, but they require drivers license etc. to purchase. At Wal-Mart I have purchased burner phones (android - but not pixel) and had the cashier set up. Cash. No real info from me.

This is my goal but with Pixel- then GrapheneOS.

Pixel 7 is fine also.

Oh. I wasn't aware you need a driver's license to buy from Best Buy. Ugh. That's dumb.

Yes, I didn’t know either until I called them this morning. Seems like KYC is everywhere. I will get around it.. but they don’t make it easy.
