    I’d love to see this come to fruition. I’ve wanted Graphene since I first heard about it but refuse to pay the Google tax for admission and live with all the restrictions a Google device comes with

      Google tax is a definite pain in the ass, but with graphene those restrictions no longer apply

        By “Google tax” I mean having to buy one of their devices and the “restrictions” I’m referring to are the lack of headphone jack and micro SD card slot. They may mean nothing to you or others but they’re both bare minimum requirements for myself and others. For as long as they aren’t available on Pixel devices, I will never consider a Pixel.

        I also hate the ass-backwards hole punch camera but that seems to be even more of a losing battle than the other common sense features I mentioned.
