Anyone know why graphene needs such high specs? It doesn't make sense to me that a less bloated OS would need better specs.
It's specifically the ability to relock the bootloader with custom software. Pixels are the only phones that can do it.
Wait actually? Thats so fucking stupid [that no other phone can].
As far as I understand, GrapheneOS's requirements focus on security features, not device speed.
Doesn't seems to mention spec, the announcement article did mention a lot of security and it's a joint venture to seek out better security for your security of your secure phone.
I read something from grapheneOS saying that even the 2026 signature motorola didn't have quite good enough specs for graphene, but maybe this was a misunderstanding on my part.
GrapheneOS has a hard list of requirements for supporting a device. As of this moment, Pixels are are the one that has all of them
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
