GrapheneOS only supports phones for as long as Google does, though.

So, 7 years!

I was thinking of getting a 7a for graphene, but I think I'll wait for the 8 to get graphene support and spring for that.

From what I can tell graphene really is a much more secure OS from an encryption and tracking perspective. Its multi-profile configuration and Google play sandboxing alone would be worth it.

Yeah, it is definitely really nice if you care about privacy/security and can live with some minor limitations. I just switched back to stock Android from GrapheneOS though, to get Android Auto working. My car's built-in navigation just isn't good enough any more.

Yeah, that is annoying that Android Auto requires such permissions.

OTOH, I have used it twice in two models of car, and in both instances it would stop working until I unplugged and replugged the phone. I just keep the phone visible in the cup holder now.
