GrapheneOS is working with a manufacturer to change this:[0]
> We're working with a major OEM and the devices will be the future versions of existing models they have now. The devices will be priced similarly to Pixels. The initial devices will have a flagship Snapdragon SoC for the best security and support time. Snapdragon flagships have significantly better CPU and GPU performance than Pixels. Snapdragon provides high quality Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS and cellular support as part of the SoC. eSIM and other functionality is also provided by the SoC. Snapdragon has decent image processing functionality included too, and good neural network acceleration.

That "major OEM" seems to be Motorola, i.e. Lenovo.
I hope HMD reach out next: https://www.hmdsecure.com/
The more, the better. If Google really decides to follow the fruit factory in closing down Android I hope that AOSP-derived distributions fork Android to create a large enough base to make it a worthwhile target for application development. Not matter what happens I'll hop off the Android train since I won't use a device with a Google account - never done so and never will. Nae lairds, nae kings, we are free men!
