    You can get good battery life from a Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series device even with stock Android.

    It only gets better when flashing a custom OS, particularly GrapheneOS, because you have more control over which apps can be running or using the network / location chips because radio or location can chew through battery charge very quickly.

      Is the pixel worse for data gathering than a Galaxy? Or is it just the ability to flash graphene that all the privacy stuff comes in?

        The Pixel is the best available hardware in the Android ecosystem for customized software, and the software is what Google/Samsung/whatever other company uses for data collection.

        Every other manufacturer either disabled a firmware feature or did not fully enable a security chipset.

        If you only care about running the software Google/Samsung provided, then any Android flagship device is going to be good enough, but a Titan M2 device is the best option to buy for replaced software.
