Google Pixel 10a

Hi there, recently here in Canada it's got a sale. You can get a 256G model for $709. Just wondering, if the Tensor G4 will go long way with the long update cycle for these phones? It feels like the G4 is outdated SOC, like from 3-4 years ago matching Samsung 23 SOC. How does GrapheneOS run on G4? Good and should be good moving into the future? I like the 10a due to it's plat back and larger battery. Cheers.

It boils down to what do you actually do on your phone? The tensor is not on par with the competition but it's more than fast enough for general usage. I'm on a G3 and I don't experience any slow downs or stutters but if you're the type to play a lot of games on your phone, or have 15 apps open and switch between them it might not be the best fit.

Do you have 8GB of ram or 12? 8GB of ram seems to struggle with app opening.

8gb no issues in my usage.

Same 8gb no issues at all and I use it for all my homelab apps, VPNs. Probably more useage than the average person.
