    It is, but its big advantage is aftermarket software support.

    GrapheneOS in particular only supports pixels due to their security features, and is (almost) entirely disinfected.

    Indeed. But i was responded to above who recommended Pixel. If you don’t need the features you get from full Pixel series, I recommend the A series since it’s a lot cheaper.
