    My previous phone was OnePlus 8 pro and 5t before that. Both still work more reliably than this pixel.

    I did hear that Pixel 8 pro is a better phone but I don’t think Tensor will ever be as good as Qualcomm’s offerings.

    I’m not one of the people willing to sacrifice convenience for privacy. I really like Android auto and Google pay so imnho Android phone is useless without Google services, but I agree that there are simply no good alternatives at the moment, so I’ll probably get another pixel when I smash this one against the wall from frustration.

      Your issues is about stock OS not hardware. And yea shit works without that or gapps.

      Android auto works on GOS with sandboxed playservice.

      So your “convenience” is just laziness to actually look it up.

        I do love how you dismissed my “inconvenience” and then immediately said that one of the two things I listed is a

        huge inconvenience of no gpay and have to use their cards

        Looks like AA is a fairly recent addition to apps that work on GrapheneOS and GPay will never work.

        I wonder if I set up GPay on my watch and then switch to GrapheneOS if it’ll still work?
