Unfortunately pixel phones are too expensive for a phone. I went with a Galaxy A34 which is good, but no graphene os for me
not just too expensive, but designed to be hard to repair too. just look up the ifixit disassembly guide, it's horrible
Paid $150 for a Pixel 5. Pixel 7 is $200.
I don't waste money on new phones, or new cars.
Bought Pixel 7 a new for 335 EUR. Refurbished is another option.
Interesting, I paid the same for my phone. But I will keep it five years so it will be a less cheap pixel then
GrapheneOS supports the 7 a until May 2028 with extended support 5 years https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime
Pixel 8a was <400€ on black friday. I know not everyone can afford this, but even 5 years ago that wouldn't have been that much for a phone
