“GrapheneOS has supported Pixels because Google’s Tensor chips provide the necessary security features, but not all Qualcomm chips offer the same capabilities. Only Qualcomm’s most expensive 8-series processors are comparable from a security standpoint, and those only go in expensive flagship smartphones.”
The price has to do with cpu types. As long as those particular chips remain expensive and top shelf, it won’t reach more budget devices. Its not a malicious choice.
bad sign. i hope it’s at least available in my country.

Lower end phones are supposed to be coming later. I’m honestly not surprised that the first will be a flagship
hoping so! cheap graphene phones will be cool to have.
