I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS.

I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out.

Edit: I found a great deal on a Pixel 10 and have ordered it.

Motorola has the Edge and G series in the US as well.

Yeah, ive got the edge+ 2023 and it's done me well so far. Cases are a pain and so are screen protectors because of the curved glass. Its the Achilles heel to an otherwise flawless phone in my eyes. If they can take this platform and remove the curved glass and add expandable storage for the Graphene release, they'll find themselves back in the mix for top 2 android manufacturers.

Just use the liquid screen protectors. Served my old curved phone well for 4 years. My One+ has one as well just bc they work well and are cheap!

Edge Plus 2022 didn't even have the curved edge, LOL. I don't understand the marketing but it was also great. 512GB, baby!

[–] LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, ive got 512GB as well, but expendable storage is never a drawback.

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Either edge or G - 2026 lineup in US only goes up to 128gb ram.

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Both edge and g - 2026 model only goes up to 128gb storage.

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok? But they do still sell them in the US and they aren't foldable.

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago

yeah but I dont want those. I want a flagship.
I was going to get a flagship this year but google and samsung are not sometnig I would ever consider.
Ill have to import via aliexpress now probably, which sucks.
