With the crowd here, I have completely de-googled my life, also hate google, and the data mining nightmare that comes along with it....but in the end. The pixel phones (with grapheneos) are the most secure and private out there, or one of the most should say, ya know seems odd that a phone by such a data hungry company, can be made into exactly the opposite. Have had 0 issues since running grapheneos on my pixel 6
It shouldn't feel odd, because we should have control over the hardware we buy, yet here we are.
I didn't know that, my google-fu turned up nothing do you have a link with more info?
I think next to being data hungry they might actually make a sound business decision. I bet their pixel phones sell like hot pockets.
I can see how there isnt that much room to get another phone at this poing since pixel seems superior.
Can you elaborare on versions? The 6 seems to be universally loved. 7 I was told was a slight upgrade but not that awesome. How about 8? Also, will I be able to use the phone intil it breaks? Because I dont want to have another apple kill switch in my device.
