I've been looking at these and they are meh. The only appeal is GrapheneOS and... I'm not sure it's worth bothering with.

Pixel 8 Pro is fantastic hardware all around. Graphene only matters if you care about your privacy/security. If ya don't, then agree
I recently upgraded to the Pixel 8 (non-pro) and I've been happy with my choice. I had to get a new magnetic car mount for my car so that I can charge it just by mounting.
It's OK enough hardware.
GrapheneOS is probably the most secure, but, it's not the be all and end of security. I've been running degoogled phones for most of a decade at this point. 🤷♂️
