Ehm, 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 4mo 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 4mo 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.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4mo agogOS stops supporting a device when its EOL. A cheaper 6a would be EOL next year. They also came later vs 6/6Pro
- DANmode 4mo agoStops officially supporting - often still gets patches. 6a is a 2022 phone, 7a is $150 on Swappa. Where are we going with this?
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4mo 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 4mo 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!
- g-b-r 4mo agoHow are new pixels cheap?
- DANmode 4mo agoCompare to comparable iPhone or Galaxy Phone hardware.
- g-b-r 4mo agoCompared to iPhones yeah, they're a bit cheaper. Compared to Samsungs, they seem to have comparable prices for less performing hardware, to me. But what about all the other phones? Are all Chinese manufacturers selling at a loss?
- WickyNilliams 4mo agoMy partner just got a 10a brand new, no contract for £250! Extremely good value.
