Does anyone actually buy Pixel phones? If you’ve bought a Pixel phone for any reason other than GrapheneOS, you’re an idiot
>>109029167I bought a pixel 7 and the recent update ballooned the battery and I feel like an idiot because I can't get it repaired in Poojeetland
>>109029167doesnt it support running normal linux desktop environments with gpu acceleration out of the box? where on most phones its complicated and requires root and setup
>>109029167I recently bought a 10A. The battery life is crazy. I flashed graphene on it immediately. It's a clean OS with no bloat. It's also not a huge fund which I appreciate. Overall a good purchase.
>>109029167Yeah first Android phone that feels like competition to iPhones, everything else is for spec jeets.Almost 2 years of pixel, from 9PXL to 10PXL.I got the full buds + watch + phone + tv, don't miss anything from Apple, I like it better acktchually.
>>109029167Pixels are e-waste.
>>109029286>PoojeetlandCanada?
>>109029167If you bought a pixel for GrapheneOS you're doubly retarded

>>109029167I was going to. I needed an upgrade from my galaxy 22. But at the price point it seemed to have a less powerful set of internals compared to the galaxy 25 ultra. I also am concerned with both phones trying to lock down side loading apps. And I feel like google directly owning the play store would do so first. I do feel a bit trapped in Samsungs ecosystem with the relative ease of upgrading.
>google botnet>apple ibotnet>samsung multi-botnet>ccp botnetphones are awful. even if you escape to grapheneos more and more apps and features won't work as we fall deeper into the locked down remote attestation hellworld.
>>109030309>if you use the best operating system ever made, you're retarded
>>109030317>I also am concerned with both phones trying to lock down side loading appsthis is my concern as well, even though I want to use graphene. Also, Google has taken very specific measures to cripple AOSP and make developing Graphene a nightmare. It's a shame that linux phones are still in alpha
>>109030303The OG Poojeetland, India, yes I'm a jeet
>>109030320>more and more apps and features won't work as we fall deeper into the locked down remote attestation hellworldI wonder if I should get rid of my Pixel 6. GOS has no future.
>>109030325Buy an ad, retard.
>>109030312Not clicking your link - works perfectly for me. Learn what an anecdote is.
>>109030360GrapheneOS is free and open source, just like your mom.
A couple years ago I bought a 4a for DivestOS (RIP) and the piece of shit stopped turning on within like a month and gets hot when plugged in.
>>109030312what are these comments, did they bot this shit
>>109030340It's not that Linux phones are still in alpha. It's that you can't convince all the developers of all the open source applications to make them mobile friendly. The market for Linux phones is so small and it's a niche within a niche that the effort would be largely wasted.
>>109030317With Samsung you can't even use a custom rom because of their proprietary IMS
>>109030265>It's also not a huge fund which I appreciatewhat
>>109030409I think Ranjeet meant phone.
>>109029167This. GrapheneOS is the only reason to buy a Pixel.If you're a retarded sheepbrained normal cattle NPC who doesn't care about giving every minute detail about their lives to big tech, there are much better options than a Pixel. Options with better cameras, better processors, more ram, better screens.Privacy chads are willing to sacrifice for the benefit of keeping big tech from looking over their shoulders.
>>109030409Phone. I use voice to text because in disabled. Apologies.
>>109030446I'm* oof.
>>109030317>I needed an upgrade from my galaxy 22What a stupid thing to say. No you didn't. You just wanted to consume.
>>109029286I'm surprised there's no cellphone repair shops in Pakistan
>>109030446Downs Syndrome is not considered a disability anymore, that's offensive
>>109030562Ok
>>109029167The fact Google Pixels(tm) generate so much seethe in here is a sign of quality./g/ hates tech that just werks.
>>109030608it doesnt just werk tho
>>109029167Imagine buying a phone with a lot of third party bloat, barely any hardware security and always behind on security patches and major android version. Pixels are great, even on stock.
>>109030345how's life in your part of og jeetland?
>>109030637werks for me
>>109030298sorry I meant iPhones, stoopid autocorrect.
Unfortunately I was an early adopter of the 6 Pro. Everything about it was great, except the battery life was complete dogshit. I think I only ever got 5-6.5hr SOT out of it, maybe 7.5hr on a good day. That's what I get for being an early adopter but I'll probably never go back to Pixel unless they completely swap Tensor for something else (they won't).
>>109030672the moment they drop tensor some so snapjeet i'm out, i don't want none o dat jittery shit
>>109030672Battery is dogshit even on my Pixel 10 Pro XL.
>>109030699How bad?
>>1090308475200 mAh battery and I still have to charge it daily like my older phones.
>>109030855I'm asking about SoT
>>109030652Well, Google won't take in my device for a mail-in repair because swollen batteries are scary to ship, and the authorised repair centre is in another city and the support specialist basically said sucks for you, AND no repair shop in my city has the OEM battery
Only bought it for GrapheneOS. The hardware is shit
>>109029286Move to one of the colonies like Canada or UK bro. They have everything here.
>>109030476I got the phone used, it didn't have much ram, the side button was sticking it was overheating. And it didn't have enough ram so background apps wouldn't run. I only update every few years when I need to. From 10+ to the 22 and now the 25. But yeah sure.
Atrocious battery life if you're not connected to wifi. Tensor is shit
>Uses Tenshit SoC, which is based on EshitnosLmao no thanks, I will never buy them as long as they keep using this PoS. Fucking Google had the audacity to price their phone in the same league of Apple and Samsung when they are basically 2-3 generations behind.
>>109030637Except it does. Better than your shitty iToy, Apple Shill
>>109031539Works on my phone
>>109029167is this another jeet thread? bcuz jeets are obsessed with cellphones
>>109031625I'm working on vibe coding a video game called Yeet the Jeet. It's going to be so based.
>>109031636Did you use your own mugshot for the graphics
>>109030855Imagine buying a pixel to run stock AOSP from Google. Fucking retard
>>109030438Yup. jeets can't process this and this thread is full of them.
>>109031656I'm the based white man protag who has to fight his way through an army of jeets to save the hot white woman.
>>109031670Yeah lol. Or running any software for that matter on hardware owned by Google. Complete retardation.
>>109031699techlet retard detected
>>109031687I'm a jeet and I bought it because I was spoiled by Motorola's early clean android experience and was I exhausted by chink UIs, I considered samsung for while but there's just something about the UI that didn't feel right, it was too much, but now that Google has officially told me to fuck off I'll probably go for Ishitphone or Samdung and bear with the ecosystem
>>109031728What do you think of my game... YEET the Jeet?
>>109031670Did you reply to the wrong anon?
>>109031821Fuck do I care
I bought the 10 Pro XL because I was locked into a dogshit SIM only deal and with the offers on it doing the early upgrade worked out cheaper than staying on the SIM only plan. The browser lags and needs to be restarted every so often in a way it never did on my old cheapo Motorola, but I did end up installing Graphene when the British government announced they were going to force Google and Apple to roll out spyware on all devices here, so it's not a total waste.
>>109031689Jeet fantasy
Pixels are the only phones that guarantee a hassle-free bootloader unlocking experience that im aware of. Im not buying a phone unless I can root it.
i just bought a 10a after i broke my chinkphoneits cheap and gets updates
>>109031918You're a Jeet aren't you offended
>>109031969Same. It's why I got a Pixel over a new Samsung after they rugged everyone who wanted to root the phones they owned.
Obvious bait thread is obvious. I have a pixel because it's literally the only android phone that isn't infested with garbage. I don't want facebook on my phone. I don't want random samshit bloatware.>b-b-but botnet.Mate I don't give a fuck. I want a phone that makes phone calls, takes texts, lets me view my outlook account for work, and occasionally take pictures of my critters. Pixels are among the best cameras available, are reasonably priced, have authorized repair with genuine parts if you damage something.>grapheneTried it. Too much hassle. Graphene's devs don't seem to understand that I care more about functionality than privacy. For the longest time they wouldn't even let you do call recording. Apparently that's fixed now, but it was still a mess of incompatibilities and issues the last time I looked. So fuck it. Botnet it is. I'm mostly away from google in my day to day life, but their phone is the damn near the only thing outside of the apple ecosystem that actually fucking works.
>>109030353>>109030309>>109030320>>109030340>>109031699Well, grapheneOS must have no future and sucks. The hardware has backdoors, and everyone had lots of proof. I'm sorry, I give up, I'm buying a Samsung phone and signing in with my Google account. Oh wait, actually, it would be nonsensical for AOSP to go completely closed source (and irrelevant), grapheneOS has repeatedly tackled Google's hurdles, grapheneOS is getting Motorola phones to ship with grapheneOS preinstalled, grapheneOS will allow hassle free sideloading, most open source apps are 1000x better than Google play slop, and the only proprietary app anyone needs is their banking app.GrapheneOS has a good future, and feds spam these threads in an attempt to make it sound like there's no hope. The more people who make active use of this project and donate to it, the more of a fighting chance it has. GrapheneOS is the ONLY future for a free, secure, and private future for phones.Donate to the grapheneOS project if you're actually concerned. Switching to samsung/itoddler/chink spyware phones won't save anyone.

>>109032087>GrapheneOS is the ONLY future for a free, secure, and private future for phones.That would be LineageOS.Micay is awful.
>>109032087>proprietary app anyone needs is their banking appJust log into the fucking website with bitwarden + Vanadium. You don't need an app. You've just been brainwashed into thinking you do
>>109029286>>109030345Does upi work?And What about groww
Are the newer models repairable like the older ones? i've considered getting a pixel for that but held off for a while after hearing Graphene partnered with moto and will get their own phone soonish.
>>109032098Lineage is neither secure nor private
>>109032098Lineage tried to cancel RMS
>>109032112Why wouldn't they work? Are you underage?
>>109032134The schizo tier security is something only Micay cares about. It's always unimportant.>>109032153Micay's opinion on RMS?
>>109032205I'm glad we agree
>>109032217I don't think we do, but you vagueposted so who knows?
>>109032251I didn't but you do you
>>109030438>Options with better cameras, better processors, more ram, better screens.And none of them just work without bloat.
This camera bump on the back is actually pretty nice, it makes holding the phone very easyJust hangs off my index finger basically
some pathetic fbinigger hacked my gopro to lose 40% battery in 15 minutes so i have to use my grapheneos as a body cam. keep in mind that i deliberately went out of my way to download a signed gopro firmware update to a microsd card so i wouldn’t have to connect it to wifi or bluetooth and yet it still got hacked like wtf.
>>109029167No point in getting a Pixel 10>chinkphones have much beefier hardware, larger batteries, and better cameras>pro is same price as a samshit flagship but 40% slower>>109030320>grapheneIsn't Graphene getting seriously fucked from all sides?>(((play integrity))) and (((remote attestation))) gets worse every year>google stopped publishing device trees>getting targeted by glowiesI don't know how much more the devs can endure
>>109032288>1 year of updates>no custom rom support
>>109032304>1 year of updatesWhy do you lie?>oneplus gives you 4 years OS updates and 6 of security updates for its flagship>xiaomi has pledged 5 years of OS updates for many of its phones
>>109032197Idk. Early users say it didnt
>>109032333>miui
Is there any actual feedback for GraphenOS. I don't want to use apple or android and have considered GOS for my next device.
>>109032205>Micay's opinion on RMS?None that is known
>>109032415Yeah it's pretty good
>>109032429Presumably not stellar. It's kind of funny to invoke Stallman while arguing in favour of anything Google anyway. He doesn't even endorse Debian just because it has the option to enable the non-free repos so you can imagine how he would feel about GrapheneOS.
>>109031237Just no. I got my S10e used and it is still working fine.
>>109029167I have a pixel 10a and im using stock OS. I love it.
>>109029167I had the Pixel 7 and liked it (stock) much more than my iPhone 16 right now
>>109032415Identical user experience to stock android outside of banking apps being awkward sometimes once you've got everything set up. Whether that remains the case as Google continues to fuck with their ability to sandbox google play services remains the be seen.
>>109029286>and the recent update ballooned the batteryHow does a software update cause the battery to inflate? Are you sure that wouldn't have happened anyway?
