- fsfasfd 3mo agoYou might be interested in the callback: https://commodore.net/callback/ https://commodore.net/callback/ It's pretty cool looking! Very optimistic about it.
- DanOpcode 3mo agoIt doesn't have any web browsers. Who you are replying to wants Firefox.
- microtonal 3mo agoEhm, a Pixel 9a is currently 349 Euro here (10a 399 Euro). Given that the OS is free, that's only a 19 Euro difference. For a much better camera, much better SoC, much better pretty much everything. Of course, if your goal is to run SailfishOS, there is currently not much of another option.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 3mo agoMy phone is a couple of years old at this point. A Pixel 7 was the newest i think. I don't care about cameras, I don't care about specs. All I need is listed. My phone would have a screen time of a few mins per day. I can't stand doing anything on these tiny touch screens or browsing the web on a phone screen.
- microtonal 3mo agoThe Pixel A lineup has always been affordable. Heck, the 4a was even $349 at introduction. The currently start a little higher, but are often around 350 Euro halfway the cycle.

- DANmode 3mo agoStops officially supporting - often still gets patches. 6a is a 2022 phone, 7a is $150 on Swappa. Where are we going with this?
- ThatMedicIsASpy 3mo agoNo idea you guys make up prices and devices when I made my choices years ago? All I can give you is my reasoning for picking it. Not giving google my money is always a plus in my book.
- DANmode 3mo agoI had no way to know it was years ago, and I don’t consider buying used and flashing “giving Google my money”. Although it definitely enables the market for Pixels, they definitely don’t make much (if any) money selling Pixels, due to they’re being cheap-yet-flagship devices. It might even hurt Google for you to buy them and not capture all your data with their OS!
- WickyNilliams 3mo agoMy partner just got a 10a brand new, no contract for £250! Extremely good value.
- g-b-r 3mo agoFor 128gb without sd card support, you should specify that Most people will fill that up in a glimpse without using cloud services
- drnick1 3mo agoThe Pixel 10a is on sale for $399 on Amazon right now, and it's a far better device, and it can run GrapheneOS.
- WickyNilliams 3mo agoYou can find it cheaper if you keep an eye out. My partner just got one for £250 unlocked, no contract
