alt Hacker News> As far as I understand, most OEMs are not allowed to release QPR1 or QPR3 either (not that OEMs outside maybe Samsung would be able to).
This is not true at all though. OEMs can release anything whenever they want.

Except for phones preinstalled with GrapheneOS (unless you are Samsung)
I have read in multiple sources that OEMs cannot roll out QPR1/3. E.g. see this thread:
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117282080803799576
Since they are working with two OEMs (one for GrapheneOS support and one for getting embargoed security patches), I think they know what they are taking about.
