Hello,
I'd like to buy a Pixel tomorrow.
I'd like to buy the one with the highest level of security. I'm not necessarily aiming for performance/battery/camera or anything else.
But is the 300€ price difference between the 7a and the 8 worth it?
From what I understand, here are the major differences concerning GOS:
- OEM support for at least 2 more years (which is the most interesting for me)
- hardware memory tagging
- the new ARMv9 CPU cores
- other features I didn't mention?
Regarding hardware memory tagging, I didn't really understand whether it would be very useful for me. It allows you to protect the base OS and user installed apps, but to what extent and in what cases exactly?
Thank you in advance for your sincere recommendations regarding this purchase.
