I am likely going with the pixel, just because of the free-er ecosystem on it, plus the update window they committed to last time around is super nice
Get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS. First Smartphone/OS combo I really enjoy, mostly because this device is fucking secure. I just can’t bare non-updatabe CFWs, long forgotten branded roms and Google services…

Is there any alternative to GrapheneOS for non Pixels?
Also, would installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel void the warranty? Does that include a carrier warranty?
And would it affect charging speed?
Sorry for the questions, I’m considering how to be more secure and give away less of my data. It means a new phone though.

LineageOS or CalyxOS. But Pixels are ass cheap. Bought a used 4a for 150 bucks.
U can recover everything.
Charfing speed no, only of bugged, but hat no huge problems with GrapheneOS yet. Douvt there will be, cause their work is godlike.

If I am ok with spending the money, is newer generally better with pixel versions or is there a version where it peaked, taking compatibility with GrapheneOS into account?

Check their website. Old models will loose support eventually. I own a 4a for testing and a 6a as daily driver. The 6a is top tier performance wise. Battery lasts 1-3 days, depending on usage. And the display is great. The 4a is nice too, because of the smaller size kinda weird compared to the 6a, which is huge xD
