Some news: I'm ditching Pixel devices. Despite running GrapheneOS, which I love using, the hardware itself really doesn't improve year over year. The Tensor series has been really disappointing for a few years now, and aside from the camera, I'm not sure that Pixel phones are the best at anything at all. They're built for AI and not much else.
I'll be moving to a (debloated) Galaxy S26 Ultra. Despite also being heavy on AI, at least it'll give me enough power to have some fun with it in other ways.
