This is the best recommendation for a phone I've seen yet.
Thanks catalonian police
Be wary since as of Android 16, Google no longer provides device source for Pixel phones.
The grapheneOS team still got an android 16 release out relatively quickly
Because no new Pixel has come out yet, so they were likely able to adapt the A15 code. Once the Pixel 10 series comes out, it will be more difficult.
Google is still required to publish kernel sources, some of the higher level android code might be tricky but I'm not sure if the GOS team have said anything yet.
I'm not talking about kernel sources, but the Android device sources, which are separate.
AOSP is still open source, it's just the source code is no longer released continuously and the reference device has changed from the pixels to a virtual device.
