I'm wondering which is more free (as in freedom) so I can make the right choice. I've also heard people say the regular PinePhone is better than the Pro version. I am planning on using it as a daily driver. I understand it's not perfect yet, but I'm dedicated to make it work, I don't do much with my phone. I also just want to help support Linux-based phones and would like to see it become more popular in the future! I'm planning on dropping my Google Pixel w/ GrapheneOS for this.

I have a regular PinePhone.. ask me how much I use it? Zilch. I wish I had time to tinker with it but even to the point of using it on wifi with any of the available OS' .. it wasn't a positive experience. Your Pixel with Graphene OS may work way better than this. Some people may downvote me on this one but the PinePhone is still not functional for daily use.

Same.

I used the pine book pro for a bit, it was completely viable as a wifi terminal.

But the pinephone is still just more of a cute toy
