I know the generall guidance for private phones was Pixel with graphene OS. I was financially planing on buying a 10th gen pixel when they come out later this year to only put gos on it. However with the recent news, I am wondering if this is still the recommended best practice from this community.
I am worried that if the gos team needs to spend tonnes of ressources on maintaining basic drivers and stuff then they won’t have any time to work on the privacy and security features they are best known for.
What is your oppinion?
Also does anyone have a way to dpam feedback to google? I couldn’t finf a generall feedback form, but if they know that people aren’t buying their hardware because of this decision, they might back down. (I really fell in love with gos researching it lately so I would hate to have to switch to something like /e/ os or calyx or something)
I’ve decided not to invest in any more Pixels, personally. Even if they reverse the decision this time, it just means it will happen later, so then future versions of the OS will be out of reach or at least not as good as they could have been. I probably will keep my Pixel 7 Pro with Graphene until the battery is too bad for daily use.
