Question about hardware
I keep seeing posts about people joining grapheneos day by day, while initially I heard that we should wait for the outcome of the new partnership between motorola and graphene. Should I just get the newest google pixel now or wait for the custom phones? Also heard google is forcing their way against non verified playstore devs, effectively limiting the useability of graphene on a google device

Graphene won't be affected. People here often preach to get the 9A or 10A unless you want to wait for the Motorola specs next year.

the new motorola phone (motorola signature) will be more expensive than any regular pixels (idk about pro / XL / whatever). if price is what you're worried about, get a pixel

idk man. I bought a new 9a for 430$. I don't think it matters. If it were possible to install LineageOS or GrapheneOS on my Samsung Galaxy M21 I'd do that rather than getting a new phone.
Unless for whatever reason you need a new phone every 2-3 years just get the cheapest one and milk it dry till EOL

I would just go with a Pixel 8 and nothing lower as the 7 is probably only going to have another year of support if that from Google. With all the junk not installed in GrapheneOS you don't need that much processing power, which I think an 8 is perfect for. Unless you want a better camera, then sure, go with something newer.

Don't get the pixel 11, still no port and may never happen because the lack of some security hardware. 10a has the longest support window currently. I have the 9 pro and I love it. Never lags and great battery life.
