Is that another way of saying you won't be interested?

Graphene only support Google Pixel phones, so it disqualifies anything else.

Sadly yes.

I'm really in no hurry to give Google ever money again. But whenever my current Pixel irrepairably dies i will probably just get another used Pixel and flash Graphene on it. I can really get behind the spirit to get european made phones instead. But atleast for now they all come with too much compromises in one way or another.

GrapheneOS is always looking out for a potential phone they can migrate to, since Google has stopped publishing the device trees for the Pixels. While they currently support the Pixels anyway, it is a long term goal for them to be on an independent platform.

Sounds like they should support those phones then. I don't see reason they would block device trees.
