GrapheneOS Finally Ready To Break Free From Pixels

Android Authority reports: Until now, GrapheneOS has been available only on Pixel phones, making Google's flagships popular among privacy enthusiasts, journalists, and, as a Spanish police report suggested earlier this year, even organized crime groups in Catalonia. But that Pixel exclusivity may end by 2026 or 2027.

These devices will reportedly use flagship Snapdragon chips, a notable shift from Google's in-house Tensor processors.
