The Graphene OS people have always been talking about how they eventually intend to develop their own hardware. So, possibly they will make something good eventually.

Would be sick. If they also make it open enough to try out mobile Linux, I'd totally buy it and try to transition (esp. if it can dual boot).

Not develop their own hardware, but contract an established manufacturer to do it for them. Which is good, they have no business doing hardware!
