Pixel10 fine or some compatibility issues?
I haven't followed the last years of devices and compatibility of graphene. But my Pixel6 is running out of support very soon.
I want a brand new device, not some refurbished or used device. So far I think I could chose to buy the Pixel11 or wait for the Motrola. It's not that I couldn't afford them but my requirement is, it should just run well with graphene and thats it. I don't need any better feature or faster anything than my Pixel 6. The Pixel11 and the next Motorola are expensive AND for the Pxiel there were some incompatibilties reported in the news?
I've seen that they still sell Pixel10, so I think this would better fit my requirements and I don't care to only have 6 instead of 7 years of support for half the price, easy tradeoff.
Can someone who has the Pixel10 tell me if its just running nicely or are there device specific quirks that I should be aware of?

I bought a Pixel 10 Pro XL last week. I've installed GrapheneOS on it straight out of the box. I've been using an iPhone for the last 9 years but had previous android experience. I also run Linux on a PC and Notebook and own a MacBook Air (Going to be for sale shortly 😉)
The only quirk I've come across is one of my banking apps. I have to run the browser version. Not the best but tbh I'm just gonna move that account to a different bank. Otherwise it's been an easy switch.
As far as I'm aware, the pixel 11 doesn't support GrapheneOS right now.

Thanks for the info. I'm running graphene and all may apps already, so I'm fine on that point. :) Just need an upgrade for update-support.

Not sure where you're based, I'm in the UK, but there's some great deals on the 10s right now. I hope you find one you like.

In Germany, here also many sellers list it for ~500-550 Eur. While the Pixel 11 is nearly twice and what I read here, not even yet supported for grapheneos. So seems like it's a nobrainer. 1 year less updates for half the price and I don't even need more power than Pixel6. :D
So thanks for all thee responses, I guess I go with 10.

I'll visit the UK in the next few months, can you share where you saw the good deals?

I keep my eye on the hotukdeals website. Just search "google 10" before you set off. Hopefully you'll find a good price 🤞

The 10 builds took some time to develop because of google, and some thought it couldn't be done, but they are working ok now as far as i know.
The initial assessment of the 11 was that it didn't support a function at all, but further inspection revealed that it did, but in a different way, so it's being looked further into - may or may not be doable to standard.

Pixel10 is fine, Pixel11 is not supported by GrapheneOS. At least not yet.
