No doubt the hardware is very powerful, but that's not much of a motivator. My Pixel 9 is smooth as butter with Graphene (thank you! <3). I can't imagine what about it could be faster in a meaningful sense.

I want to financially support Moto for supporting Graphene, but the wild cost for unnecessarily-powerful hardware makes that sorta unlikely.

The big differentiator could be desktop mode. I've played with it on my Pixel and with a bit more attention, it could be a total game-changer. To do that, though, I had to enable stuff that Graphene's guidance suggested would diminish security... defeating the purpose of running Graphene to some extent.

I beg you to lean into the desktop thing. I'll give you money if that helps.
