If it has USB C and a 10x optical zoom I’m almost guaranteed to swap from Android to Apple finally. Google’s BS around making ads part of DRM or whatever was the last straw.

If you don’t use tap to pay and can muscle your way through documentation, GrapheneOS is easily installable on all relatively current Pixel devices. But yeah, I’m not a fan either and as long as I’m on Android, that might tip me back again to using Graphene instead of stock Android.

is Graphene the new Cyanogen?

Kind of? It’s only supported on Pixel devices currently. I think a closer comparison to Cyanogen is LineageOS, since Lineage is literally a fork of Cyanogen after the original maintainers closed up shop. Lineage is more akin to AOSP/the stock Android experience, whereas Graphene has been hardened a bit more than your typical Android release to lend itself to a more privacy-centric experience. Tap to pay and Android auto don’t work on Graphene which broke it for me at the time, but I would consider going back despite that if Topics can’t easily be disabled on Android 13/14.
