p7p is my daily driver, but i was still using the og pixel 1 a few months ago with syncthing so i could get unlimited photo backups at full resolution, but it didn't end up working that well for me, so i said screw it and just paid for google one storage. i guess it worked out in the end since they added all the fancy photo editing tools...
my pixel3 still gets used at the gym for music since it's nice and small, and still reasonably fast enough.
Oh yeah, if you have a Samsung phone it has a built in eraser tool, which if I am being honest is much better than Googles! The magic eraser is not that good on Pixels. But Samsungs eraser is so much better!
