Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before. If it's not relevant, feel free to remove it.
I am thinking of getting a Pixel 9 to finally replace my Galaxy s10, and I've been looking into switching to GrapheneOS for some time. I plan on buying an unlocked Pixel directly from Google. I know there's a chance that I will decide against GOS after actually trying it out. If that happens, I don't really want to get stuck with a phone that has all of these invasive AI features. Does anyone know whether you can return a Pixel to Google after messing with the bootloader? Will they know or care? I've heard that it can void your warranty but I'm finding mixed information online.
If it will pose a problem, I might consider the Pixel 8 instead.
Thanks in advance!
