6.7 inch screen. My Pixel 5 is already big. This one is an inch bigger in my hand and in my pockets.

Price increase. 875€ in Europe. The Pixel 5 was 630€. Do you really get 40% more phone?

Been holding on to my Pixel 5 with GrapheneOS for a while hoping a smaller Pixel is available.

I might consider the non-Pro since it now has a 120Hz screen and is smaller.

Check into the developer of GrapheneOS reputation.

From a friend who used to use GrapheneOS and flashed back.

You want that guy pushing code to your phone?

GrapheneOS has been the target of ongoing personal attacks against the former lead dev. None of the claims are true. GOS devs have been swatted and harassed on multiple occasions.

I suggest you examine the baseless claims against the (former) lead dev more closely - they are fabrication.

(He has been harassed so much, with death threats and the like, that he has recently stepped down as lead dev).

I use GrapheneOS, and I've donated to its development. To say that "None of the claims are true" and that they are "baseless" is incorrect.

Louis Rossman was a supporter of the project until he and Daniel had a failing out in which Daniel behaved inappropriately [1], all over a Youtube comment. There's proof for that and other claims [2, 4, 5].

Daniel can be a talented developer, privacy advocate and asshole at the same time.

It's sad to see him (and others, like yourself) say stuff like "examine the baseless claims", without providing any sources.

After all the drama with Calyxos, Techlore, Louis Rossmann etc, at some point one has to notice a pattern of behavior.

I'm willing to believe Daniel is a bit of an asshole, totally.

But I am thoroughly on his side when it comes to the CalyxOS and Techlore drama. However I wasn't aware of any of the Louis Rossman stuff

Sure, that could be argued either way. To be honest, it's too complicated for me to really care about. I think GrapheneOS is a solid project, currently.

My biggest problem is that Daniel refuses to apologize or even acknowledge these issues. I try to judge people not by their mistakes, but by their responses to these mistakes.

My worry with GrapheneOS is that the same thing to Copperhead might happen to it. I don't know or care who was right/wrong in that situation. But the end result was that Daniel deleted the signing keys, so I am worried that if Daniel is pressured form either real or imaginary attacks, he might do the same to GrapheneOS.

I want the project to go on for as long as possible, and part of that requires honest reflection.
