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?

    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
