It's too expensive for me. Not worth it when a used Pixel is way cheaper, has way better hardware and has support for GrapheneOS.
I have "the choice". It is one cute choice.
I'll wait a couple generations and then buy one for GrapheneOS.
Because Lemmy users are also humans and humans are assholes.
I bet it's USB 2.0. Sidenote: DAE hate all cloud transfer options/nearby share/airdrop and just plug in a good old cable like me any time they need to transfer stuff lol?
I got a Pixel 6 Pro second hand from the US recently for GrapheneOS.
Here's what I like:
- Fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable
- Phone is buttery smooth, no weird slowdowns, I've been very satisfied
- Excellent hardware: beautiful, premium, unqiue. It feels heavy but in a well - balanced, premium way .The curved back, screen and sides makes it so comfortable to hold. And I love the camera bar which because the phone doesn't rock back and forth on the table.
- No parallel for customization, well maintained custom ROMs (I came from a Xiaomi, I swear Google Pixels are way better in this regard.), GrapheneOS is awesome.
What I don't like:
- Phone gets hot on cellular, probably an inefficient Exynos modem
- Battery is just okay. Charging is not an issue, takes about an hour to reach 80%, which is what I usually keep my phone at anyway for better battery health.
- Screen not quite bright enough on brutal summer days.
So yeah overall I'm a happy camper. When this one loses support for GrapheneOS, I'll be upgrading to another Pixel.
Huh, ok. Well then, fuck you Asus.
Say what you want about Brave as a company, their browser and search engine products are pretty damn good.
It's like prohibition. You ban it, they're gonna find ways around it to use their phones even more. Source: I was once a teenager.

Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.
