Currently using a Google Pixel 5 that's running CalyxOS.

Ditched Apple after they initially announced they were going to start screening messages and photos (although they later walked that back). I value privacy, and hence hate Google. But Google do make sole good hardware. CalyxOS allows me to have the best of both worlds... a privacy-centric OS, running on decent hardware that's compatible with any Android app (although you still need to be a little careful what you install from a privacy perspective).

I am aware that more modern Pixel models have been released, but I'm waiting for one that's a little less massive. Every model since the Pixel 5 has been larger than it.

    I also have a Pixel 5 and like the size of it. Whenever I handle my wife's Pixel 6 it feels freaking huge.

    Was thinking about Calyx or Graphene. Is it pretty low fuss for daily use?

  • I was on Graphene but switched to Calyx. Personally, I find easier. The integration of microG helps with a few things, such as apps stuck using Google's push notification service and apps that require SafetyNet. I was going to try Graphene again, but I was thinking of waiting for a new phone.

    Calyx is very nice. I've found it to be no fuss at all.
