I picked the Pixel 8 because:

  1. it runs GrapheneOS
  2. It was a little smaller than the Pixel 8 Pro

If there was a smaller version available, I would've gotten that instead.

Is there an 8a? Those are usually the smallest model

[–] ilmagico@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is. The screen is smaller, but the actual phone is bigger 🤦‍♂️

Wow, dumb. The last a I had was the 4a, which was notably smaller.
