    For a short period of time, I thought about buying a Google Pixel phone to run Graphene OS on it , Google Pixel isn’t available in the local market, so I’ll have to buy it from abroad, and this comes with risks : not being able to benefit from the phone’s warranty , the extremely high costs of shipping the phone into the country, and the extremely high costs of making the device work on the local network legally As much as I would like to try Graphene OS, such risks are too crazy to take so I changed my mind or at least stopped thinking about it temporarily… who knows, maybe some local company will bring the brand to the local market one day due to competition with other local companies. The same competition introduced phones to the market that weren’t previously there: Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Infinix, Tecno, etc.

      Plus the Pixels with the Tensor chip suck. You pay a flagship price but the processor cannot even compete with 5 year old chips.
