Getting pixel 9, graphene? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey y'all! So we are changing phone providers and they are forcing us into getting a new phone. I have an s23 which I hate anyway, and can get a pixel 9 or 10 now. I want the 9 since it seems better for me.

My question is, should I install graphene on it right away? I don't wanna have to reset it again down the road. And I don't care about warranties, if it dies I can afford another one.

Graphene seems to support the 9 and 10 from what I'm seeing

Edit Did some reading , it appears the at&t pixel 9 does have an unlocked boot loader ? Is it true ??

Yeah, I'd definitely install it right away. There's really no reason not to - it's super easy to install over a browser (must be Chrome-based, unfortunately), and it's the best mobile OS experience I've ever had.

Edit: As the other comment said, make sure to get a Pixel with an unlocked bootloader! I never go through my provider for my phones, and always buy independently.
