And that nonsense is why I'll switch to a Pixel phone
Honestly I feel like Pixel phones are the only phones people should buy.
Call Screen and Hold for Me
Only brand that GrapheneOS supports.
Best mobile camera money can buy
The 7a can be had for 350-400 when on sale.
7 years of OS updates.
7a is the closest thing to a small phone you can buy (minus the ASUS thing)
You can install whatever software you want without paying royalties to Google.
If you're one of the lucky few who lives where it's sold officially. Pixel phones have a notorious QC issue there's no way in hell I'm going to get one without warranty.
Until then we're stuck with iPhones and Samsungs.
I mean I suppose if QC is the only thing that's important to you, that's fair. I've never had an issue. Everyone gets the benefits I listed.
If I spend 1000 USD on a device, wanting for it to come with a warranty is natural, no?
I'd love to spend hundreds of dollars for a spare part and wait for a couple of months to get it shipped before and then do the repair myself if something that falls under the warranty happens.
I know how fun it was, because I did it once during the Nexus days.
....they do come with a warranty
...you can do that
Please enlighten me on how you can claim a warranty for a Pixel phone in a country where Pixel phones are not sold officially.
But that's not very cash money behavior yes? Especially during these times. Not everyone has the disposable income for that.
If the phone is not sold in your country, you shouldn't buy it, for a variety of reasons.
...wat
3.Front facing camera sucks 7.you can do this with any phone.
...no?
Also no. You can't do this with iPhones.
