[Question] Will Pixel 8/9/10 be supported for long term? A question on the future of GrapheneOS. (discuss.tchncs.de)

I read about Google's decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?

I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

It will. Graphene said in a mastodon post that they will continue to support existing devices including pixel 10.

Keep in mind that they are currently working with a "major OEM" (details to come I'm sure) on their own device and predict that it'll be ready in a year or two, so if you feel like you can survive that long with your current phone it could be worth to try. If not, then yes current devices are still and will still be supported

The future “graphene phones” might also be the hardware linux mobile distros need to start maturing
