I am looking to buy a Pixel just to install Graphene. My most recent Pixel is the OG from 2016 so its been a while. In my country, these are the available models: 9, 9a, 9 pro, 9 pro xl, 10, 0 pro and 10 pro xl.
These are my criteria:
- good battery
- i dont like big phones. So the XL models are out.
- storage not an issue. I’m fine witht the small 256 from 9a or even the 1tb from Pro.
- Easy to repair. I was 90% for the 9a until JerryRig’s video showed how the battery is almost impossible to take out. So if phone is dead => time for a new phone.
For 1) on paper, the 9a has the largest battery. But recently I saw a post from the Graphene discord, where someone got a 10 Pro (XL?) running Graphene with like 3 days SOT. Absolutely insane. Couldnt find that message anymore though.
