I was waiting for this to figure out if i want this phone. The answer is, I'm not willing to pay $1000 CAD.
I would like a phone with 7 years of updates, that's the reality. This is so annoying because I would go to LineageOS since it keeps getting updates, contrary to manufacturers roms.
- jsnell 2y agoIf those are your only criteria, the Pixel 8a is $400 and has guaranteed updates until May 2031 (same 7 years, but released three months ago).
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoMy real criterias would be way more, but if I put all of them together, the answer is there is nothing. I ABSOLUTELY need to be able to use a glass screen protector, because my phone falls a lot, so I'm really concerned about the fingerprint reader on the screen. One criteria I won't be able to satisfy is: I like fingerprinting on the back. I don't think there are recent phones with that feature at all.
- jerlam 2y agoThe upcoming 9a is where Google has to make some tough business decisions whether it's going to have all the AI features of the main line, at half the price. It's rumored that Apple's new SE will have the full suite of Apple AI features, and that might put some pressure on Google to match.
- bjoli 2y agoI got a _spectacular_ deal on the pixel 8 when I called to complain on my phone plan, otherwise I would have still used a Motorola. The phone was $200, and I got a pixel watch 2 LTE as well that I flipped for $250. The only thing I had to do was keep using the phone plan I have used for 8 years for another year.
