I'm currently rocking a Pixel 8, and don't REALLY have a reason to upgrade it (in fact the 8 was specifically selected due to the length of time it would receive upgrades for).
But...
I do a lot of hiking, hunting, backcountry activities where I don't have cell service and an emergency communication device would very much come in handy. A Garmin InReach was high on my Christmas list as a result, but then I read about the Satellite SOS functionality in the Pixel 9 series, and now I'm wondering if that's where my funds should be directed.
Is this functionality going to be retained with GrapheneOS, or is it something that will be wiped out as a result of the builds?
Pixel 9 Satellite Functionality?
This has already been asked and answered.

Sorry bout that...the reply with the answer got mixed in with all the "noise" during initial read thru
