I've #degoogled a lot, but Graphene is not an option. Waiting on a Harmony NextOS phone so I can dump Android altogether. I've seen some high end Huawei phones in my area sporting it, but am waiting for something I can afford from Xiaomi, OPPO or Vivo. I'd rather hand my data to the Chinese than Google and 5-Eyes.
As someone considering a switch to Graphene (shopping for deals on 120hz pixel models as we speak) why is Graphene a non-starter for you?
I don't think I've ever actually seen a Pixel phone, plus they are way out of my price range. Where I reside, your choice is basically Chinese or Samsung.
Ah interesting. Mind if I ask where at? Where I'm located, you can find great deals on refurbished pixels (with a 1 year warranty!) on ebay for as little as 100USD.
