I am loving mine. First thing I did was put GrapheneOS on it, so I can't compare to stock pixel android. GrapheneOS takes a little bit to get used to due too how locked down it is but once you get it dialed in there is no going back.

While I do love how the Pixel feels I got a case due to the enormous camera lip (I usually run caseless). I intend to use mine as a good point and shoot when I don't have my actual camera so I am a little paranoid on how much it sticks out and how vulnerable it seems to scratchcing.

Haven't been disappointed with anything (but the camera lip). I definetly prefer it over my Samsung s21 hands down.

The big camera lip and the overall bulkness of the phone was definitely a con when I was choosing but I'll probably get used to it.

When it comes to graphene the biggest drawbacks I ca see right now is losing Google map. That's a pretty convenient app to have.

You do get used to it.

You can still run Google Maps. Install the Play Services via the Graphine App Store then you can install the Play Store, then you can install Google Maps.

Or you can side load Aurora Store and download G'Maps from it (still probably need Play Services).

Using the Play Store or Aurora Store should allow you to install apps like normal. I personally haven't run into any "it won't run on GrapheneOS" issues.
