So why is Graphene so demanding on hardware? Regular Android runs on billions of lesser phones. Other than the stupid issues around stuff like device drivers, is it enough to run something like LineageOS if you were previously satisfied with a de-junked Android? I’d take a budget phone with Lineage over a flagship phone with Graphene for sure.
OEM graphene is literally making new phone hardware for a specific OS to run on. Agreed, they are probably the most promising project.
