Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.
You're still giving your money to Google on purpose gg
Yup, and because of that I get the privacy and security I want thanks to GrapheneOS, get the benefit of Google, my paid apps, and Googles apps not having god like spy power over my phone, which is the biggest spit in the face to Google there is. Money well spent.
Can you give me a tldr on grapheneOS? I saw another reply mentioned it
Security first and also privacy focused OS. Hardened kernel as well as app isolation. The Google Play Services (if you install them) dont have root access so you're not being surveiled by the Good, yet have all the benefits of Google stuff like access to your paid apps, and since verified boot is maintained, things like banking apps that usually have an issue with custom OS's still work.
Been around for many years, Incredibly stable and large community behind it. Been around since the Nexus' when it was still CopperheadOS.
