garry just a short post wondering if its worth getting the 8 pro or just the 8 as now the sales have returned it looks like the time to join graphene for the first time has arrived for me :)
DeletedUser29 They will both be supported until October 2030 (and the 8a until May 2031) so it's entirely up to you whether the better hardware on the Pro is worth the extra cost for you. There is no difference in how GrapheneOS will function on them. Personally, while I wouldn't have minded the better camera on the 8 Pro, the smaller size of the 8 was more important to me so I went with that.
Hb1hf 8Pro Pros: better camera, more ram. Probably useless now but if/when GOS brings VMs to your phone, it will be useful. 8Pro cons: bigger, heavier and more expensive.
Blastoidea I got rid of a 7 Pro (too big) and bought an 8. I decided I really didn’t need all the extra crap.
randallont an other difference in unlocked US models, the Pro has mmwave support on the 5g radio, the plain 8 unlocked does not support mmwave on it's 5g radio
randallont also forgot the Pro has a usb 3.2 gen 2 at 10 gbps whereas the plain 8 has usb 3.2 gen 1 at 5gbps probably not too important though
