ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 day agoI am also in Canada. I just called my mobility provider and told them I wanted a new phone and that i wanted to pay off my current phone immediately.
So which is it? Pixel 9 or 10?

Pixel 10. I got mine from Costco on black Friday. They were having some crazy deals that basically paid you to take the device home lol. It’s the only reason I upgraded.

I wish I could find a deal like that, but as it stands I will need to pay a lump sum to my provider to pay off the remaining balance on my Samsung S23, which I am going to keep. I will format it securely and use it with a prepaid sim as a travel phone with next to nothing on it. GrapheneOS goes on my Pixel 10 and I want to degoogle it. It will pose a mild issue since sometimes I (sadly) do need to check my gmail, and I really don’t know if putting it on my GrapheneOS is a good idea.

I use k9mail with a work gmail account and it works great, has imap push and everything (no need for Google services).

I’ll keep that in mind when I get my pixel 10. Thank you. My phone is the last thing that I carry that isn’t on linux or some non-Microsoft/Apple software.
