I have been using Graphene for about 5 years, first on a 4a which was great and now on a 6a which is a bit crap tbh. The software is solid; it's the harware which is lacking. Much as I love Graphene, I'm having serious doubts about upgrading to a newer Pixel when this one becomes EOL. My partner has a 6 on stock software and she complains about that too. On another note I recently installed e/OS on an old Samsung S7 Edge and I'm really happy with it. It's given a pretty old phone a new lease of life, increased the battery life etc. You can check if your phone is compatible here
I had a pixel 6 pro for about a year and sold it because it just sucked ass. I didn't know about graphene back then so it was on stock sw. half of the settings did nothing, screen had a terrible ghosting issue, audio sucked, bad signal on both wifi and 4g, even the camera was tilted..and it had no manual focus!. I hate my s22u too but not nearly as much.
