I want to try GrapheneOS. But my current Samsung phone still works. If I ever do switch, I would be looking for a Pixel on the local resale market so as to avoid giving Google money, anyway.
It’s what I did. I bought a used pixel 8 and only regretted it after the recent strong of Google shenanigans. I’m still looking for a proper Linux phone solution in the meantime. I’d rather not have to be reliant on anything Google does in the future.

Used Pixels are cheap.
I have three, paid about $120 for each one.
Using current phone rather than buying a different one to replace it is a lot less ewaste.
I am also going to see what happens with Graphene’s new partnership. I don’t really like the idea of being locked down to specific hardware.

That’s fair, I don’t like being tied down to their hardware either.
