I’ve been about, and so far, almost everyone’s advice has been, “Buy a Pixel and install Graphene,” which I think is frankly quite unrealistic. Even the cheapest device that’s still supported (Pixel 6) is still about $200 refurbished, and that apparently loses support one month later (October 2026).
So basically, are there any options for people who aren’t wealthy?
In addition to the options below, I highly suggest Backmarket pretty good deals on refurbs there too :)
Do they have some kind of deal with Samsung? I looked, and as far as unlocked phones go, the only thing they have for less than $300 is various models of Samsung Galaxy.
Edit: Nah, there’s definitely something going on there. I went to the site, clicked Android phones on the first page, and got a listing of strictly Samsung phones.
They have pixel phones as I just checked when I wrote the reply, you just have to scroll or search
EDIT: But i can agree that it’s pretty annoying for user interface stuff that they automatically go to samsung :/ the android smartphone category though is bountiful for pixel / motorola
