I would wait if I could but my phone is in “so old it’s no longer working for basic functionality” at this point. So I need to get something for now, even if I end up reselling/trading in in a year or two. This gives me good stuff to think on tho! Thank you!
Comment on Is Buying a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS Pre-Installed Dangerous?

Buying a pixel is by itself risky because the hardware is mediocre from both an engineering and quality pov: cases of screens with stripes or green tinted, the usb is soldered on the motherboard so if it’s busted you are f***d (samsung and apple are much much more modular), on top of that to remove the battery you have to remove the screen and a wierd carbon insulator that looks like a last minute patch. oh and of course battery is shit, guess you cannot expect anything good from an exynos right? Yes I, have one, yes it has graphene and yes I am waiting for Motorola to put out something decent. If i were you i would wait.

My pixel 8 w graphene is the best phone Ive ever had. Battery life is phenomenal without google services and build quality seems fine. The smaller size from most androids on the market is great.
You must have had a bad experience or are cherry picking issues - which can be true of any device.
