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.
from what i’ve seen it seems like the pixel line just has a curse placed upon it, where every model has 1% of phones suffer from fairly major hardware problems and the other 99% are perfectly fine.
