Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! https://grapheneos.org/

Do not assume contemporary low-end quality would the flagship quality. Flagships like LG when they had jacks had high quality DACs—even current Sony phones are good. Adding a jack to the device means less things to dangle & put stress on the already kinda weak charging port; this takes up little room & does not affect waterproofing. Almost all other gear for consuming media has a jack, it is pretty much a conspiracy to push folks into perpetually buying Bluetooth earbuds when the batteries die.

They asked about the Pixel, which doesn't have a jack, so it sounds worse than getting a dongle.

The Pixels with jacks thankfully were tested, to be "okay", the Apple dongle outperformed them.

The OC was half a joke half the truth.

I do miss the V10 but the same DAC can be bought and used with anything.
