        • yeah no headphone jack is a bummer
        • a used pixel is cheaper than than
        • my pixel 5 seems pretty small, but idk what they are now or what that is so you’re probably right
        • even bigger bummer than no headphone jack imo
        • I don’t think those are that important, a piece of tape over the camera is fine imo
        • you’re probably right there too, I wish fairphone could run grapheneos 😞

          Fairphones have no secure element. The devs may be annoying, but what they dont do for a second is waste time.

          Hmm, camera maybe but tape? Also microphone is not that easy. GPS, phone antennas and internet antennas are also way shadier

            Fairphone uses the latest snapdragon. Unless qualcomm messed up, their processors do support and have supported secure element for a while. What you probably meant was a dedicated secure element chip. That’s present on tensor but not on most other smartphones.

              Huh? GrapheneOS is not wasting time with features or supporting phones that are not secure to their standards (meaning basically impossible to hardware-crack, which is NOT everyones requirement)

          Not in my experience? A new Pixel 8 costs like 800€, thats like 600€ more than I would consider appropriate for a phone. All these prices are made up

            Pixel 8 has full support from google until 2030. Know of any current phones going for under 800 bucks with anywhere near that support lifetime?

            Also, the pixel 7a is supported until 2026 and is $500. Both prices are quite reasonable for a computing device you’re going to carry around for at least the next three years.

              In this case a Pixel 8 is the only real option poorly. How can a phone just last 3 years from now on? Thats crazy…
