I was strongly considering an iPhone this year. It would have been my first time since the iPhone 4S. Ultimately the overall cost of the Pixel 8 was nearly half of what it would have cost me to get the iPhone. I couldn't justify the extra cost for not really gaining anything extra.
I hear a lot about pixels on here, yet everyone I know owns a Samsung. What are the benefits of a pixel over let's say one of the last few years models of galaxies?
GrapheneOS
How do you install it, what's so great about it? I keep seeing this pop up, but I don't know how it works.
@GrapheneOS is an alternative OS that provides better privacy than the stock Android that can be installed on Pixel devices.

Wait wouldnt that block any and every google service? Seems kind of nuclear to never need maps or anything like that.
Maybe I misunderstand.
The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the base for both operating systems.
GrapheneOS actually makes a lot of effort to provide solutions that are mostly better than what stock Android provides.
Cool. So let's pretend I have very little knowledge of how phones work. How difficult would it be for me to install? I assume you have to do the installation over usb-c connected to a laptop?
How long is the process, and how long would it take me to install any basic apps I would want, including sandboxed Google apps?

https://piped.video/watch?v=qxAnWYUvDxgThanks I watched your links, now my only questions is besides security are there any other reasons for Graphene, like battery life? Just making the decision of getting like a Galaxy 21 or 22 or a pixel. The thing that is most important is battery life for me.
You can get good battery life from a Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series device even with stock Android.
It only gets better when flashing a custom OS, particularly GrapheneOS, because you have more control over which apps can be running or using the network / location chips because radio or location can chew through battery charge very quickly.
No shutter lag. I was considering an S23 before settling on a Pixel 7 cos of that.
