I just got a new pixel. I haven’t even unboxed it yet. Should I install Graphene OS now or after I switch my cell service to it? Or does it not matter?

    WhatColorIsIt

    I personally wish I had waited a few hours to switch over. I kind of am curious what stock Android on my Pixel looks like. I could have taken the time to play with it a little.

    Others care a lot. They don't like the idea of Google "spying" on them at all, so they flash ASAP and never look back.

    Probably not the answer you're looking for but it's your phone. You can do whatever you'd like with it.

    WhatColorIsIt Could you run it for a week or so, then flash GOS and share the experience with us? i.e. battery life or anything else that catches your attention?

    I flashed mine before setting up service since I had no interest in what stock is like peronally. I wouldn't have bought a google device if Graphene wasn't a thing.
