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
A Pixel is not required for basic one-account-per-phone Android execution. A compatible Google Pixel running GrapheneOS is required for the supported full-isolation, multi-profile workflow.
Why Pixels Are Preferred
Compatible Pixel phones support GrapheneOS, which provides the isolated Android profiles used by ShadowPhone's supported full-isolation workflow.
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.
