Buy a Pixel or wait for Motorola to release their GrapheneOS compatible smartphone.

I haven't heard of this. Looking into it there's at least a year wait. I'd consider it - though my Edge 2022 battery may not make it until then. Damn thing was crap from day 1.

I am pretty sure Motorola plans to sell flag ship devices with GrapheneOS preinstalled. They won't support old devices. Also the manufacturer needs to still ship firmware updates for a specific duration for GrapheneOS to support it.

I meant more like if I am forced to get another phone before it comes out. I should at least try to put a new battery into my edge and I've done it for several phones but there's always that 10 percent chance you might bork your phone.
