We’ve added an updated list of hardware requirements:
https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices
GrapheneOS on the Pixel 8 is the first platform using ARM MTE in production and it’s such a massive improvement for exploit protection that it has to be considered a hard requirement going forward.

I hope the Fairphone guys eventually figure out their shit and make a device that can be supported by GrapheneOS.
Removed by mod
explain, elaborate, and source all of the above
They don’t support it because it lacks the bare minimum security features required so a phone can be considered secure. At some point they even shipped phones with bootloader keys that were development keys and another version where re-locking could result in a broken phone half of the time. That’s why GOS isn’t supporting the FP.
So besides that grapheneos only support google phones…it will be a requirement to have the one new phone?
Pixel 8/ 8 Pro are the same chip, so not counting that as two different devices.
When the Pixel 8a gets launched and google decides to cheap out and use the Tensor 2 - which let’s be true, they might on their entry line - how will you do this feature without hardware?

The officially supported devices for GrapheneOS currently are:
- Pixel 8 Pro (husky)
- Pixel 8 (shiba)
- Pixel Fold (felix)
- Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)
- Pixel 7a (lynx)
- Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah)
- Pixel 7 (panther)
- Pixel 6a (bluejay)
- Pixel 6 Pro (raven)
- Pixel 6 (oriole)
- Pixel 5a (barbet)
- Pixel 5 (redfin)
- Pixel 4a (5G) (bramble)
This list is shown here.
The devices listed above will remain supported by GrapheneOS. This new requirement is for non-pixel devices that could possibly be supported if they already meet this additional requirement along with all the other requirements found here.
Pixel 8a should have the latest tensor 3.
