[Graphene](https://grapheneos.org) is an OS, not a phone, although there is a [limited list](https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices) of supported devices. The reason for this is that their build enforces security and privacy options in Android, so at a certain point older phones are not compatible.
I have been using them for years. It is a good balance between the convenience of being on the Android platform and the privacy and security of using software from the open source world. The ideal would be a full phone OS outside of corporate control, similar to GNU/Linux. This is a big project though, especially if you want certain functionality from apps. At any rate, using Graphene is like 100x better than using stock Android from Google or even worse a big third party like Samsung or LG. It is arguably the best Android mod from a security and privacy perspective.
It is not too hard to get installed if you can follow [instructions](https://grapheneos.org/install/), but if you have questions, just ask.
