GrapheneOS confirms support for an upcoming device with the Snapdragon Elite Gen 5.

GrapheneOS has confirmed that they will support a flagship device powered by the Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 SOC. The project has been partnered with a top-ten Android OEM for the past few months, allowing them early access to security updates. While details are sparse, this device is supposedly a subset of their current lineup with comparable pricing to the Pixel. It will be released in the second half of 2026/first half of 2027.
