do i hate to say it? kinda. but also, everything they've been doing lately (15 years?) sucks.

3a was okay but suddenly bricked itself one day.. that was years ago. mine and my spouses, not too far apart from each other.

7a battery is meh.

7a gets too hot for video calls over 10 minutes?

GrapheneOS make it better, for sure! and was really easy to install. i can't wait to see the phone they help design.

but the couple of them I've had.. not impressed.

they're slowly enshittifying though, i won't be surprised if soon they stop letting us unlock bootloaders.

That specific thing is going to happen real soon. Now that pixels aren't officially recognised as testing platforms anymore, (they've been replaced with Cuttlefish in android studio). There is no point in keeping it possible, especially since grapheneOS is starting to get a very bad rap among law enforcement in the EU (and probably the US)

I think we are just a few updates from a total lockdown of our bootloaders. À la Samsung.
