Just broke my pixel 5 and looking at new options. Really considering Pixel 8 but have been hearing a lot of anecdotes of display stuttering in third party apps, inconsistent battery experiences, and other miscellaneous and inconsistent bugs, especially on Android 14 (apparently Google might be promising a fix in 15 to the first issue, but battery life across the tensor phones always seems to be contentious).
However, I know that some of the Pixel problems, like the storage bug a few months back, didn't affect GrapheneOS so I was wondering, how has everyone's experience been on GrapheneOS with Pixel 8 or with the experimental 8a release? If anyone used stock before switching, did your general everyday experience in regards to the os experience improve? Is it possible these bugs are just in the pixel os skin and not in AOSP and its forks, or is the hardware just lacking?
