So. Many. Shills.
Graphene Pixel > Stock Pixel > Dumbphone > bloated phones like Galaxy.
I've had all. Nothing beats stock Pixel OS experience. Version 8 and above have 8 years of security updates guaranteed. Show me another company that has delivered this. Google is notorious for killing services/products buy Pixels ain't one of them.
And there is GrapheneOS, unarguably the most secure OS with Pixel 8 and above (lookup internal Cellebrite datableaks concerning breach ability of recent phones)
Sorry if you are on Pixel 4, but even a Pixel 6 w/ GrapheneOS would be a cheap upgrade even though support is ending. If you can get a 7a for a reasonable price you are set for the upcoming years, I can't imagine any other phone offering more.
Can I paint with madness?
