Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last device? Most importantly are you still enjoying it?
I have a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS. No complains from me, battery lasts a couple of days. Phone does what it needs. Camera is amazing for a point and shoot.
Would recommend.
I’m thinking of switching to graphene OS on my 6 Pro, did you lose any functionality you regret? Losing NFC is the biggest downside I see, but I’ll survive that. Anything else?
Nope, I never use contactless payments, or even google wallet so I don’t even notice its gone.
I lost a couple of AI features, but I’m not that bothered about AI wallpaper generation, it was a bit of a gimmic anyway.
I had GrapheneOS on my Pixel 5 too and that saw a good battery life improvement once I finally installed GOS.
hey thats the first time I hear about loss of nfc, can you tell/link me the reason?
Anyone know if work profile through company portal works on graphene OS? I know I can’t install non trusted apks so thinking their may be a policy to stop this
Kinda a noob question, but does your phone show a “this phone is running untrusted firmware, don’t put sensitive data on it” screen every boot due to bootloader unlocking? If yes, how annoying is it? I always thought of getting a custom ROM but the idea of that kinda keeps me away from them.

Yes it does. It appears for like 2 seconds when you boot. It’s completely a non issue. It’s just telling you you’re not running stock.
