Samsung phones are probably a no-go though, right? No way around their locked bootloader?
The phone would be shipping with GrapheneOS, you don't need to unlock the bootloader if you are the OEM installing the OS.
One of their comments mentions that having it preinstalled may or may not happen. The aim atm seems to be the current Pixel situation where you unlock the device and install it yourself.
Interesting. I wonder if the OEM thinks they can remove the ability to do that after the fact.
