Hello! Im looking to get a new phone since my old OnePlus 9s battery is real bad. I was thinking about a new Pixel 10/Pixel 10 Pro and pray the Graphene devs manage to get Graphene running on it, although i read that the base Pixel 10 is way less equipped than the 10 Pro.
What are your thoughts here? Worth mentioning that work is paying for it. Unsure how willing boss’ll be to get the Pro but only time will tell. Im looking for alternatives in the case that the Pro is a no-go. Also just generally curious about the status of Graphene and the 10 series, heard there were some challenges but dont know how bad its looking?
Replace your battery.
Also, if you can, replace your ROM. OnePlus 9 doesn’t receive any updates anymore. It’s not secure on the stock rom. OP can consider LineageOS.
You would be better off getting an 8 or a 9, as they are already fully supported (by custom ROMs) and will be for at least another 5 - 6 years.
The Pixel devices certainly lost some of their appeal lately with Google cutting down on the superb GrapheneOS support we had up until now. And they’re now missing the device-trees and so on and more recently Google has shifted development to not be transparent to the public any more until a new version gets properly released. So updates will be more difficult and won’t happen as instantly as we had them in the past.
I keep writing about Nothing Phones because I got one two months ago (3a) and I am very happy on how lightweight the stock OS is, very similar to the AOSP experience, and the bootloader is unlockable without even asking for permission.
Lineage usually is also supported, but currently not yet on the 3a.
It’s a bit bulky.
