Yup, I honestly don't care about the special features on the Pixel (esp camera), I literally only want it because of GrapheneOS and longer term software support.
I would love it if the GrapheneOS project made their own phone and supported it for a really long time. Maybe coordinate with Fairphone or something, IDK.
Same
another good place to buy a used one is https://swappa.com
Unfortunately, buying from outside US, although possible, is a pain in the neck. You need agreement with the seller AND use a freight forwarder.
Which pixel is getting you that battery life? My 6 has been struggling to make it through a day on GrapheneOS recently.
Do you use the google play services and/or the alternate user accounts?
Ooh that might be why your battery is so good. The Google services do eat up a lot of charge it seems.
On the google free, I'm not perfect but I'm def conscious, and already am using mostly foss apps. The rest is just social media I can't really avoid. Thanks for the proposition though!
Have 6a and I actually got the same battery results as you
