    The advantage Graphene had is gone now. Updates are going to be slowwwwwwwwwww. Google cut the pixel drivers out of AOSP.

    Graphene is currently working with an oem to create a device explicitly to support it and estimate that it'll be ready in a year or two

    MediaTek or Qualcomm chips will be used probably, but to order cutting edge chips they'd need to order pretty high volumes to keep prices down, so the chip they order will probably be older. Though the Pixel 5 was one of my favorite phones, so if they can keep that level of speed on Android 16 then I'm all for it.

    Frequent updates aren't the only benefit Graphene provides, and even if feature releases are slower, security patches will still come through.. Graphene was designed for security, not frequent feature updates

    Still don't buy the Pixel 10, use older pixels. Buy used
