Hi there,
There's already another post like this on this forum but it's for the Pixel 6 and about to be three years old, but I've thinking about getting a Pixel 9 or a Pixel 6 Pro. The Pixel 9 (9P/9PXL/9a) has more features and more longevity, but atleast a $300-$550 difference in refurbished pricing. So before I make the big switch and buy a Pixel, I'd atleast like to know what I'm missing out on as a person who has never owned a Pixel.
I've collected a list of features on the phone from the old post and off Google's comparison website, so this is a long list and might also miss some newer features. Other than that, does anybody know if any of these are all available with GrapheneOS (either with or without Sandboxed Play Services) and if not, are there any workarounds or a possibility they will be implemented sometime in the future?
