Nice write up.

I feel like everyone under-sells the speed difference, though. I haven't seen performance differences this impressive from an OS switch in many years.

For those that know the feeling of switching a tired old x86 to Linux and getting a peppy performant device - this is better.

Maybe it just feels better from being a pocket device, or maybe my last phone was more deeply bogged down with vendor crap than I can fathom.

Either way, my affordable older Pixel is running GrapheneOS substantially more responsive for daily tasks than the most expensive phones I have ever bought before.
