Pixel + Graphene OS is such a good combination! I’ve been using it for months now and I feel free with it.

I wish small pixels were still a thing, now they are all 6inch+

I would really consider to get a fairphone if they had a smaller variant. Lately I’ve grown tired of only having huge phones and I don’t mind making some hardware sacrifices if I can use it comfortably.

The Asus Zenfone 10 was a good candidate, but their bootloader unlocking tool is still down, so you may be locked to only 2 years of OS updates

I hope you have fun! You can ask anytime for help, it’s a great learning opportunity
