I recently bought a Pixel 8 for 500€, they got cheaper since the Pixel 9 was just released. If you want to save some money you could probably just buy a Pixel 7a which will get updates until May 2028 (vs October 2030 for the Pixel 8). Supposedly the 7 has better battery life than the 8, but in the end it comes down to how long you want to use it.
When you say supported, does that only mean the original (Android) OS will be supported and updated? What does it mean for a different ROM?
If you go with GrapheneOS, and I believe also with Lineage and Calyx, you'll be getting as many updates as in stock, probably even more.
My thanks
We're all here to help each other where we can. 80%+ of my digital detox and privacy journey has been achieved by asking in Lemmy. Enjoy.
Thanks
Very much appreciated
