it’s a bad thing. The lowest you have to pay for a pixel now is 999 EUR. I think I paid around 600 USD for my pixel 8, and it was already more than I’m comfortable spending on a phone. We should stop normalizing $1000+ phones.
I’d love to get a pixel art a price like that so I can give graphene a real try. Only problem is that they don’t set that phone in the country where I live so there are always markups.
Still work fine for me. Yeah, I had one of the 6a phones that had the bad battery but they gave me a $150 credit towards the 10a, so that was nice. Bought a replacement battery of Ifixit for the 6a, and gave it to my son.
So complain about the fact that the base model is priced that high, don’t complain about the fact that devices with lower specs are no longer being produced. Technology advances. Lower storage tiers will always inevitably eventually stop being made.

You don’t have to buy the top of the line phones… The a-series pixels work just fine for me. Just recently got the 10a for like $400 on sale I think.

The A-series is where Google dumps all the problematic phone batteries and commercialises them.

this comment completely ignores that the model specs are proportional to the manufacturing cost
