Whelp, I guess I now own my last Samsung phone. It was a good run. I’ve been considering going pixel for a while so I can put graphineOS on it. This just helps me make that decision.
Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!
This, the web installer basically does everything for you, so no way to fuck up unless you disconnect the phone during the setup. Also haven’t had any problems with banking apps and the like, though Eventim doesn’t seem to work.
That’s technically true but the default experience would be a challenge for most noobs. It takes a bit of work to get apps for typical stuff, have to go get Fdroid and allow install from other sources etc
You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.
It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

I’m thick as mince and am running GrapheneOS, AND I came from 16 years of iPhones.
If I can do it, anyone can.
It’s more a matter of running out the clock on my S22. When this puppy is dead, pixel is next.

I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.
