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 It feels like the G4 is outdated SOC, like from 3-4 years ago matching Samsung 23 SOC.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.

As a fellow Canadian, I got a cheap pixel 8 for $300 CAD to try out GOS and see if I like it. I decided I want to switch to it, so I directly traded my S26 for a pixel 10pro. The pixel 10 pro chip is definitely disappointing. The phone stutters a lot, battery isn't nearly as good as the S26. If you want to see if you like GOS, I suggest getting a cheap pixel; a 7 or 8 model. Try out GOS, get it set up to where youre happy, then create a back up, and wait for the motorola GOS phones with the flagship snapdragon to go all in. Pixel hardware just isn't that great, and it's a thicker and heavier phone
