Just started here on lemmy, taking a look around and what's here. I don't see this area is used - at least recently. However, I do love Google Pixel. I have both a 7 Pro (Stock OS) and 7a with GraphineOS.

The main thing that got me to switch to Pixel from an iPhone 13 Pro Max was the hardware and software like 12GB ram on 7 Pro, the processor for mobile gaming, the call screening on all pixel devices, call hold etc. Super useful!

Well, I might have to start digging more things up for pixel community! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Honestly, when I got the 7a about a week ago I was very surprised...like I have loved the 7 Pro since like Nov. But the 7a feels so much better, it's thicker and I prefer the feel. If only it had the 7 Pro camera.

It was super easy setup, no gotchas moments thankfully! Love the quality of Pixel and interested in GraphineOS for awhile but didn't want to flash my primary. I've gotten everything setup, even the Aurora Store thru F-Droid allowed me to install apps from the Play Store. But notifications can be an issue if you don't install Google Services, I like the added control and because of that the battery life is much better...but can't use as primary only because the stock Pixel with the call/text filtering is my most beloved feature. And I wouldn't expect banking apps to work at all...you can but it's not easy. The NFC payments is great, I just leave my license and 1 card in the glovebox no more wallet! ๐Ÿ™
