*if you have a Pixel device (that aren't that great, actually).
A pixel phone is something like 9 months of minimum wage in my country.
If you can't have Graphene or Calyx (once they're back up) there's still /e/OS, they also got a 1-Click Installer for a few devices. As well as a how-to for several hundred. And iodeOS I guess.
...if bootloader unlocking will be allowed...
*if google /OEMs still provide drivers for AOSP (check calyxos blog, google stopped doing it and it is killing custom ROMS)
Pixels are good, what are you talking about?
For the price, hardware-wise are underwhelming (see benchmarks).
I daily drive a Pixel 8 Pro and it's never felt underpowered to me. I have no need or desire to look at benchmarks.
It's a fair point to make to say they're expensive, but that's not really relevant to their actual quality or performance, both of which are fine. And the used market seems pretty good for these things, too.
I have no issue with my older Pixel devices. You're use-case isn't everyone's use-case.
