Upgrade a pixel 8 to a 9 or 10pro?

treenutz68

So I have a pixel 8 that I'm running grapheneOS on and it is working fairly well. Biggest complaint is the fingerprint reader is hit or miss. Otherwise, fairly happy with it.

I have the opportunity to upgrade to a pixel 9 for around $125 or to a 10pro for about $350.

Any thoughts/recommendations on if either of these upgrades would be worthwhile? My only concern is I do like the relatively small size/weight of the pixel8 so I'm not sure if the others will feel heavier/bulkier. Otherwise, I imagine both other phones will be snappier and more future proof.

Thanks!

Go Pro as it has 16GB RAM and thus leaves you a chance to use on-device private LLMs later on

Thanks. I saw the news that broke on twitter about Motorola being the new OEM partner (which oddly the official graphene account retweeted and then deleted) and the official announcement is happening next month. I guess we may learn more about the specs of the phone at that time.

I'd be surprised if the specs are better than those of a pixel 10 pro though, not to mention you'd have to wait until likely end of 2026 or sometime in 2027 to get that phone according to rumors.
