So many of you are being so irrational and ungrateful. Do you know how much work the Graphene team likely did to make this happen? This means Graphene is less dependent on Google hardware in order to exist (ie, if Google decides to lock bootloaders in future Pixel models it won’t end the project). An expensive high-end phone brings along rich people and corporate users who will hopefully donate to the project. The engineers at the Graphene project work so much and it would be nice to see more appreciation.
No one is being forced to buy this highest end model. There are plenty of Pixels they support and will continue to support and they likely they will support other models that will be much cheaper over time. If you don’t want to buy a $2K phone, don’t buy this model. Problem solved! Or wait for more people to be selling this phone used and buy a used version of this model. Also, having this much RAM means that it’s more likely this can run virtualized ARM operating systems and can work like a desktop when plugged in, although I am not sure if it can do that.
I’m not bootlicking anything. I have no relationship with the Graphene project and the only time I tried to find out more about the project I was quickly banned for some reason. I think being pissed at open source developers who give away software for free is crazy as fuck.

Bootlick some more. Nobody is grateful and nor should anyone ever be “grateful” to a corporation.
