Unlocked Pixel 8 Pro (512gb) acquired; 2030 #GreatReset device getting dialed in.
Why?
+ 7 year support
+ hardware memory tagging
"8th generation Pixels also bring support for the incredibly powerful hardware memory tagging security feature as part of moving to new ARMv9 CPU cores. #GrapheneOS has experimental support for hardware memory tagging in hardened_malloc available as a user-facing option in the advanced security settings and is quickly moving towards having it enabled by default. It will be used more extensively in the future and is a game changer for protecting against exploitation."

I went from P7 Pro to Pixel 8. My choice was based on size. They just getting too big for my pants pocket.
I've had every Pixel except #4 and I always adapt to the size. I draw the line here lol.
The hardware differences between the regular and pro were more narrowed this time around, it seems like.
I spoke too quickly. Just as with the 7 series, the 5x optical zoom only comes with 8 Pro. Shit. I was able to cancel and reorder.
I guess I'll be adapting to bigger again 🤣🤣🤣
But seriously...that extra optical zoom on my 7 Pro is a game changer.
