Great to hear you love it. I want to buy pixel and degoogle it too.
I wonder if the finance apps like banks work with it.

If you need to use an app that requires GPS (Google play services) you can install a second profile on the phone and keep all the spying apps there away from your private stuff.
There are YouTube videos explaining how to do this
I use Calyx instead of Graphine but the only financial app I've found that doesn't work is CashApp.
Hmm, Cashapp works great on my current graphene phone, a 7a. I bought it already flashed, but i want to learn to do it myself.
Do you know how long it's been installed? My wife's calyx had cashapp until she had to reset her phone. I would say about 8 months ago we couldn't install it any longer. Unfortunately, places like apkpure don't keep old versions of financial apps, so I don't know how to fix it. We both use calyx on a pixel 7 and pixel 6. When you get your "new" phone I would be very intersted to see if you can use cashapp.
Buy refurb.
