I'm basically locked into Pixels because of GrapheneOS/CalyxOS, the best experience you can get for a privacy friendly phone.

The software is great, the camera is amazing, and the battery is good too, the only problem is the display on my Pixel 4XL.

IOS is a hot garbage prison, to the point its users dream of something like newpipe, and the FOSS scene is basically nonexistent, also Apple doesn't care about your privacy, I will never switch.

All other phones are either filled with gimicky things, have crappy designs(one ui isn't great compared to stock android) and nothing is private like CalyxOS/GrapheneOS.

And yes payment apps/SafetyNet works on Calyx!

Since Pixel 6 doesn't seem to be great, I will probably upgrade to PXL7/8, though there are some enticing deals on the normal Pixel 6.
