We don't know the OEM and chances are, it's one whose hardware won't work in the west, where the personal information Google harvests is worth more.

To Google, this move from Graphene is the trash taking itself out.

    The main demographic of GrapheneOS users are in the west and the GrapheneOS team are a meticulous bunch. Why would they partner with an OEM whose hardware does not work with western cellular networks?

    I guess we'll find out when they announce their mystery partner.

    I just hope it isn't HTC or Motorola. Neither of them have done anything good in the last 10 years. And Google bought the HTC hardware team that made the Pixel 1.

    Samsung is my hope. I think Samsung is big enough that they can sell certified Android phones and also open ones. I don't think they will though. I would imagine it would be a smaller OEM. Or a shittier one.
