Pixel 8 leak promises 7 years of OS updates

Honestly, pixels are the phones to get. With grapheneOS, you get a dailyable, trustable phone, with crazy good cameras and long support cycles.

And it's usually cheap, they drop fast in price, but the 8 is really expensive for some reason, lets hope it follows the same trend and just drops in price.

Something no other phones can't do, certianly not your blackbox iphone(even if apples marketing says otherwise.)

I generally agree though barely stayed with Pixel+GOS after my last Pixel refused to turn on after plugging it in before a nap, leaving me with a totally bricked phone, no way of recovering local data on the device, and a $100 bill to replace it since the screen was cracked - despite it being dead because of manufacturer defects, and a broken screen having no bearing on it's death.

If I wasn't such a fan of GrapheneOS, I would have ditched Pixel so fast.

I agree to a an existent, if you live in a supported country, you can find pixels for much cheaper with flagship features you wont find in anything in a similar price.
