Fuck all that noise, Pixel 6a + graphene £130. Why waste so much money!?

These devices aren’t even constructed to last 7 years. I don’t see that either of those things are worth £600 personally.

Well if the support ends, GrapheneOS support ends too. That’s why more years of support is important here.

What relevance does that have to what I said? If the physical phone isn’t going to last that long then I’d argue it is of little importance.

Well if you recommend getting an older phone because it’s cheaper, GrapheneOS support may be a concern. Also I think a phone usually can last for 7 years with 1 battery replacement, good ambient temperature and careful use.

I mean, the 6a still has 3 years of support left so whilst it is older it is hardly at the end of its supported life.

Not everyone can change a battery in a phone, I can but I would still rather not do it on a phone that isn’t really anything special and whilst yes they could feasibly last that long I think in practical everyday use application by the time you are getting to three years of daily use it will be beaten up and physically not in great shape any more for your average user.

3 years is not that much unless the user doesn’t mind changing phones rather often and beating up a phone in such a short time is just a skill issue tbh.
