Do I Need a Pixel Phone to Use ShadowPhone?
A direct answer explaining whether Pixel phones are required and why they are still the preferred setup for some workflows.
Short Answer
No. You do not need a Pixel phone to use ShadowPhone. Other Android phones can work, but Pixel devices are preferred when you want GrapheneOS and isolated-profile support for cleaner multi-account operations.
Why Pixels Are Preferred
Pixel phones matter because they support GrapheneOS especially well. That gives operators a cleaner path to profile isolation, stronger account separation, and more structured multi-account planning on one physical device.
Best Supporting Pages
Use the supported phone models docs page, the GrapheneOS setup docs, and the GrapheneOS profile isolation glossary entry for the clearest supporting context.
