To anyone reading this a 6 is a great pick but its worth knowing that the 7 year update promise only began with the pixel 8 so if you buy a 6 in 2024 it probably only has about 2 years of updates left. However they are only like $150 used I think so the value is probably there even if you only get 2 years of use out of it.

What’s the point of Goggle’s security support when you’re buying the phone for GrapheneOS?

Graphene only supports devices for as long as the manufacturer does, maybe slightly longer.
Doesn’t seem like the old CyanogenMod days where you could slap that shit on there forever.

That’s disappointing…

Yeah kinda! My 4a5g is still going strong, but I kind of feel forced to get rid of it now. I would much prefer to just flash a new ROM and get a few more years out of it. The hardware is (still) really good for the performance I expect out of my phone.
Eh. Maybe I’ll get a new phone, wipe this one and use it for traveling.
