My current phone (iPhone 13 mini) is telling me to retire it, and I want to get into Graphene. I really dislike that my phone sometimes will just hang while I’m swipe typing and don’t want to buy a new one that has these latency issues. I also don’t want to spend a ton of money.

I was looking at the Pixel 8a which is being sold for $500. Anyone else use it with Graphene? Do you use a swipe keyboard? Any responsiveness issues?

What about storage? Coming from Apple, I can see my current phone using about 64GB with OS + apps. Anyone recently made the transition and can tell me if I can expect this number to grow or shrink?

Thanks a bunch!

    I’ve had the pixel 3a, 6, and 8. The default OS is not worth the constant glitches. Get a Samsung if you were an iPhone person

      Considering this is a GrapheneOS community I’m assuming OP intends to replace the default OS with that.
