I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I want to switch to an Android phone.
First of all, I eliminated all Chinese phones. Since Samsung has limited custom rom support, I gave up on that too. At the end, I decided to get a Pixel because of its GrapheneOS support.
But right now I’m stuck between Pixel 8 and 9. There’s a big price difference with small improvements. I can afford both but not sure if Pixel 9 is worth it. What do you think?
I have a pixel 7 and I don’t have a desire for upgrade either. There hasn’t been a substantial enough change to justify a change in a while. The ability to run GrapheneOS is the main attraction.
I’d say save your money. When (if) they finally release a phone worth switching for you won’t have wasted that money.
I have a Pixel 6 and no desire to upgrade.
Anyone still rocking a 5?
Are you running Graphene? I stopped using my 6 because Google stopped security patches. Fortunately the newer Pixels now have 5 years of updates.
No, the Pixel 6 still gets regular updates until October (so I’ll probably get Android 15) and security updates for another two years.

Those ones get 5 years. Newer ones get 7.
Oops! I confused my old Nexus 6 with Pixel.
If anyone is, I hope they’re running a third-party ROM like GrapheneOS, because Google ended software support last year.
Google increased their support window after the 5, so the 6 is still good for another couple years of security updates.
