Same. Pixel + GrapheneOS sounds like the move for most now.

What’s the issue with the Pixel cameras? I thought they were typically one of the selling points of the phone? Maybe I haven’t paid enough attention to recent reviews (been on iOS for a few years now, but want to switch back to Android).
That kinda goes away if you do install Graphene or other de-Googled software though. The camera hardware isn't that impressive and using the AOSP camera makes this super clear. Google's image processing is what really elevates the quality you get from a Pixel picture.
You can install the pixel camera on graphene and it functions exactly the same as the stock OS
Because Google doesn't have root access to your phone. You can install the pixel camera but give it no network permissions. It's just another camera app at that point
Sure.
Then install Gboard, it's a much better keyboard. You know what, the Google Photos app is also way better integrated with the Pixel camera... Can't forget about Keep too, and Assistant...
