My previous phone’s charge port finally went kaput so I had to get something new. The best option I had was a Pixel 8 or 8 Pro. I went with the 8 since it looked like the only major difference other than price was the cameras, and I don’t take a lot of pictures.

  1. It’s half the size of my previous phone. I’m a big guy and I like big phones, especially of the phablet variety. This thing feels like it’s made for children.
  2. Because it’s a carrier branded device, I can’t actually install the custom OS I wanted to because the option for OEM Unlock is grayed out. Which wouldn’t be a surprise had this information been front and center on Graphene or Lineage’s supported phone page and not half way through the instructions for install.
  3. Fucker has ads!
  4. Don’t know what to do with my 2TB sd card since absolutely nothing available had an SD slot.

I’m so sick of these closed down bastards. I wanna be able to build my own like I would a PC 😩

      That happened to my last phone, so I got a new charge port installed. It wasn’t expensive. I only got a new phone because it didn’t get 5g.
