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:

  1. good battery
  2. i dont like big phones. So the XL models are out.
  3. storage not an issue. I’m fine witht the small 256 from 9a or even the 1tb from Pro.
  4. 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.

    You can use the wrong finger three times, then it falls back to PIN entry. Which can be a duress PIN.
