More like LineageOS because Graphene is only available on very specific, hyper-expensive devices. Or just expensive if you want one that is already out of support.
Not really. Almost all the google pixels are supported. You do not need to get the pro versions if you don't want to.
Normal, non-pro are expensive AF too. The non-pro Pixel 7 is around $500. The latest ones I remember seeing for $300 and under are Pixel 5.
If you buy them second hand they are not expensive, I bought recently a Pixel 6 in backmarket for 200€ and it works perfectly.
6 barely has any Graphene support left - normal updates until next year and extended ones for just a few more.
In Graphene Os site, it says it has 3 years of support left. Normally my phones don't last that long. So it's fine for me, but obviouly I would recommend going for a newer Pixel version if you find a good deal. Edit: typo.
My phones usually last six years at least, three is nothing (and even then it is not "full" updates). Point is - Pixels are premium phones, so the ones that you would get for $200 would either be old models or quite used.
I mean if you are going to put GOS on it. Perhaps a second hand device is not a issue. Also non pro cost about 400 where I live.
$400 is a whole lot for a phone as well.
