Getting pixel 9, graphene?
Hey y’all! So we are changing phone providers and they are forcing us into getting a new phone. I have an s23 which I hate anyway, and can get a pixel 9 or 10 now. I want the 9 since it seems better for me.
My question is, should I install graphene on it right away? I don’t wanna have to reset it again down the road. And I don’t care about warranties, if it dies I can afford another one.
Graphene seems to support the 9 and 10 from what I’m seeing
Grapheneos on Pixel 9 fold. Runs like a charm. You have a normal phone by default for all your normal daily stuff, but it’s ready for all the advanced things you might want anytime.
im on a 8a with graphene an its great but im in a different situation where i got my phone refurbished an i installed graphene as soon as i got it
My question is, should I install graphene on it right away?
yes, you should
Is your new phone provider providing a carrier-locked phone?
I have no idea. I am guessing it would be locked.
In which case you might not even have the option to install GrapheneOS.
Yes
I’d say go for it. I can attest that it’s a very polished experience and the GrapheneOS devs go at length to ensure that their work is both secure and reliable. Just make sure it’s the factory unlocked variant so you can unlock the bootloader. Any apps that require regular Android can be put on a separate phone.
I am on the 6a with graphene and very happy.
Easy to do as well.
If you are on a contract phone it might be locked down (as in you can’t unlock the bootloader).
might as well? My 10 will be arriving soon and I’ll be doing the same. Reverting to stock is also an easy enough process
