+ <h3><a href="#device-lifetime">How long can GrapheneOS support my device for?</a></h3>
+
+ <p>GrapheneOS can only fully provide security updates to a device provided that the OEM
+ is releasing them. When an OEM no longer is providing security updates, GrapheneOS aims
+ to provide harm reduction releases for devices which only have a minimum of 3 years support.
+ Extended support updates at minimum will be done until the next Android version. It is likely
+ that we will make a decision around harm reduction releases for other devices with longer lifetimes
+ in Q4 2024. Harm reduction releases do not have complete security patches because it's not possible
+ to provide full security updates for the device without OEM support and they are intended to
+ buy users some limited time to migrate to a supported device.</p>
