I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I want to switch to an Android phone.

First of all, I eliminated all Chinese phones. Since Samsung has limited custom rom support, I gave up on that too. At the end, I decided to get a Pixel because of its GrapheneOS support.

But right now I’m stuck between Pixel 8 and 9. There’s a big price difference with small improvements. I can afford both but not sure if Pixel 9 is worth it. What do you think?

      I have a pixel 7 and I don’t have a desire for upgrade either. There hasn’t been a substantial enough change to justify a change in a while. The ability to run GrapheneOS is the main attraction.

      I’d say save your money. When (if) they finally release a phone worth switching for you won’t have wasted that money.

        I have a Pixel 6 and no desire to upgrade.

        Anyone still rocking a 5?

          If anyone is, I hope they’re running a third-party ROM like GrapheneOS, because Google ended software support last year.

          Google increased their support window after the 5, so the 6 is still good for another couple years of security updates.
