@ondra 1) because S22 cannot run GrapheneOS, so I had to get a Pixel to try it out and of course, I couldn't just ditch the previous phone when I had no idea if I could live with GOS as an OS for my only phone.
2) I'm fine with it short-term, but it only has 128 GB of storage which I'm sure will run out of in a few months. Other things such as wireless charging or higher frame rates would be welcome, too, but not too crucial.

I'm not happy about giving money to Google, but I'd rather give them my money for the device (Pixel+GOS) than giving them my data (another OEM partner's phone+Google Android).

@sesivany That's why I'd like to skip AOSP altogether. Especially when Graphene already talks about a desktop version. Mobile apps on desktop isn't the future of convergence I want.

I'm deliberately avoiding mobile-app-only services and am not watching movies or gaming on a phone. And I need just a little space for some offline data. So a Pixel-level camera on any Linux phone would probably be all I need.
Wireless charging wastes about half of energy, BTW. Also overheats my 6 Pro. :)
