I'm writing this on a Pixel 8 and it's the worst phone I have ever used. The wireless chip is basically dead. And the battery can't make it to 3pm. Annoys the hell out of me that so many reviewers I thought I could trust speak so highly of this phone.

  Is there even an option in the Android space that isn't entirely filled with Bloatware? I've always hated the Samsung Android skin so I've mostly written off the rest of the market

    Nothing Phone comes probably the closest to bare bones at least what I have come across.

I think the Nexus 4 is still my favourite phone I've ever owned. Maybe it represents a period of techno-optimism I had, and how my relationship with phones have changed over the years. Now I despise my phone but am required to own it for my digital ID to pay taxes, receive work messages, etc.
Sounds like I've been very lucky with my Pixel 4 and 7 that I haven't had any hardware issues while running GrapheneOS.
