I need to change phones. It seems the holy grail of privacy on phones is GrapheneOS, but it only works on pixels, which are huge compared to my already awkward iPhone 13 mini (5.2 x 2.5 in / 132 x 64 mm).
Is there any phone out there that is fast, small, and easily supports a privacy OS?
Thanks!
a) Pixel 9’s are still new and completely unaffordable; b) I personally got an “a” because it has a plastic back instead of glass.
Good point plastic back break easily but a series are inferior specially the screen and they literally have the same price maybe 50 bucks cheaper. If pixel 9 are expensive then get pixel 8 base
The 8a’s are literally $200 cheaper than the 8 and $300 cheaper than 9. The CPU and memory are the same, the screen is the same with a different glass. The cameras are better. It’s ok if it’s not the phone for you, but saying it’s clearly inferior is patently false.
When I was buying mine, 9s weren’t out yet - even now, the 8s are around $400 where I bought, while 7s are at an already crazy $300.
I didn’t get the impression that the plastic was easily breakable - seems relatively soft. While the base and pro have glass.
