I'm curious which features they are shipping will be supported in GrapheneOS.

Specifically wondering about the audio, camera features, EVS sensor (idk what this is tbh but seems to improve camera features), OIS, etc.

I would happily buy this for $1600 if all features are supported on GrapheneOS, but if Graphene ends up severely handicapping the hardware, it seems like the price may not be worth it compared to the Pixels that support Graphene.

All of the camera features should end up supported. We support using Pixel Camera on Pixels and plan to do the equivalent for the Signature 27. It's not a priority for launch but rather will likely be added afterwards. We plan to support other relevant hardware features too but there isn't much else important beyond the camera functionality and app.

I would expect the experience to be about what it's like on pixel phones, if not better. Graphene at least has the ear of the hardware manufacturer in this case, which they don't for Google.
