My Pixel 6 is going to be eol in October, so I'm going to need a new #GrapheneOS compatible phone by that time. Since the Pixel 11 will be released in August, I am speculating a bit whether it will be supported as well. That would be the best case scenario for having peace and quiet for as long as possible again.

@DL6PL I was in the same situation with a Pixel 6a, but it was caused by an EOL USB-C port. Because of the current trade-in program (getting basically the money I bought the device for) with extra Google Store credit, I decided to go for a Pixel 10 before the Pixel 11 launch.

I was quite pleased by the simplicity of my first #GrapheneOS install.

@DF3LX How does the 10 compare to the 6a? Are there real differences, because even my Pixel 6 still feels fast and snappy. It's a shame that I have to replace it just because of software support, feels really unsustainable.

@DL6PL I was surprised by the camera improvement, especially in low-light surroundings. That is a real improvement.
The phone feels like a premium, durable phone made to last. The fingerprint reader (I am aware of the security implications) is way more dependable than in the Pixel 6 series.
I also started to notice the brighter display.

I also found the Magsafe/Pixelsnap quite handy. (Thus I went for the 10 series.)

@DL6PL
It will be supported normally in case it allows installing third-party OSes with all security features intact. In 2027, the OEM who partnered with GrapheneOS will release a phone which GrapheneOS will support, if all goes well. But, that will come to late for you, given that your Pixel 6 will be EoL soon.

@tranquil_cassowary Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe a used Pixel may fill the gap until the "real" GrapheneOS phone is released
