GrapheneOS officially only supports google pixel phones, whatsoever it's running perfectly on most android phones such us Motorola phones.
There are more OS build on the Android Opensource Project. You may find one that especially built on your phone.
I will describe how open source android operation systems works, so you know whats going on.
On your "normal" android or IOS phone, you have an identity, named apple ID and google ID. When you are using these devices It collects the data on your phone and send it to google and apple, showing your ID.
When you are using an open source OS, THERE IS NO ID and the OS it self WONT collect data.
When you are using a google application on an open source OS, it will collect data, BUT it won't know who is it from.
When you are using open source applications on an open source OS, it wont even collect data, and doesn't know who using the application.
That's what is the big deal with open source OS, it won't never know who you actually are, and by default it doesn't collects data. OFC, you should still use safe VPNs, and safe browsers, but you are completely safe like this.
If you would log into a google account -with all this security- that you have been using on a not safe phone/PC, without a vpn, and ect, they would know it's you, because you have already doomed that account before. You either want to create new google account or completely forget google apps and use open source apps.
It's really easy to do all this. I highly advise you to take this security steps. android open source OSs are works just as fast and great as regular android, but there might be some instability if you download the wrong one on the wrong phone, you can search on the internet which one do they recommend for your phone.
Stay safe brothers and sisters.
