▲ 154 ▼ Pixel Fans are leaving Google and I Finally Understand Why (www.howtogeek.com) submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by EastofEdson@piefed.ca to c/android@lemmy.world 117 comments fedilink hide all child comments I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS. I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out. Edit: I found a great deal on a Pixel 10 and have ordered it.

Cases are a pain and so are screen protectors because of the curved glass. Its the Achilles heel to an otherwise flawless phone in my eyes. If they can take this platform and remove the curved glass and add expandable storage for the Graphene release, they'll find themselves back in the mix for top 2 android manufacturers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago Just use the liquid screen protectors. Served my old curved phone well for 4 years. My One+ has one as well just bc they work well and are cheap! permalink fedilink source parent [–] sanitation@lemmy.today 1 point 2 weeks ago Either edge or G - 2026 lineup in US only goes up to 128gb ram. permalink fedilink source parent [–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 weeks ago (1 child) Edge Plus 2022 didn't even have the curved edge, LOL.
