Google Pixel reportedly saw absolutely massive 3x growth in North America in just one month, but it seems too good to be true.

I’m an iPhone guy, but pixels are by far my favorite Android devices. Made with care, customizable, mostly crap-free.
Throw GrapheneOS on it and its crazy good
Except for all the posts about issues and workarounds I see about graphene. That’s what’s holding me back from switching from iPhone. I’d love to switch but I don’t want another project so I’m waiting and watching hoping for the day
At some point you might just have to just accept it warts and all. Sometimes you can't wait for the perfect and make it the enemy of the good. I've been running my phone in this way for about five or six years now and it's definitely not perfect but you get used to it and eventually you're happy with it. I feel so much better now that I've done it. And just for example, I had to help my mom with her Google Pixel because Google Play Services seems like it fucked up an update and forced her to factory reset because her phone was getting all kinds of hot and acting weird. And I reset fixed it, but I didn't have to deal with that crap.

I've never felt that interested in flagship phones. Why does anyone buy them if they have warts? Budget phones have similar warts but at least they are affordable. I don't understand what the Pixel 9 has going for it other than some niche features here and there. I'm not trying to diss Pixel 9 buyers but if I wanted a Pixel at all, I'd probably get an older model. Maybe I'm missing something.
if you're not interested in grapheneOS then pixel doesn't indeed offer much beyond what a cheap phone offers bar perhaps the camera.
Yeah I'm particularly wondering what the flagship hardware offers (ok, besides the camera) that is interesting. AI slop-enabling tensor cpu, no thanks. Is Graphene really better than LineageOS?
Just newest model with graphene os capability is a big sell
Oh, I wasn't discussing hardware warts. I'm talking about software warts. I don't buy flagships ever, because I buy my phones at full price from the manufacturers, so I can use it with whatever carrier I want to. And I'm not going to spend $1,000 on a phone when a $200 phone will do just what I need it to. No, thank you.
Tbh even without it its a good device.
