On Friday, I switched to the Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS and it's costing me CAD$1 per month for the phone on a 24-month contract and I got a better deal on my monthly phone plan. So far, it seems like an awesome phone and the installation of GrapheneOS via the web installer was incredibly easy.

Nice! How's the battery on GrapheneOS? I heard on the stock OS it's pretty bad.

I'm considering buying one as I'm paying £16/mo for just a SIM but I can get a 7a on a contract for the same price!

I was worried too before buying, but with my usage patterns, battery lasts 2 days. Pixel 7a, international edition, GrapheneOS.
That's a good question. I tend to plug my phone in whenever I get in the car, so unfortunately I don't have a good feel for battery life yet. I didn't notice an issue with my Pixel 6a, though.

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal!
