Should I buy a refurbed Pixel 7 for 200 cuck bucks, wait for two years for the new and improved battery and tensor chip tech to fully deploy, then upgrade to Pixel 10/11?

Yolo on the Pixel 9 pro with 0% finance at 30 cuck bucks/mnth over three years... then be stuck with this older gen tech for at least 5 years because I refuse to upgrade my phone in a shorter time frame when it costs so much 😂

I think this low time preference thinking has got me clearly swaying towards option one, 🤔 but the 9 pro looks so new and shiny, the temptation is real 🤣 it appeals to my inner magpie.

I just got the 8a from T-Mobile for $500 a few days ago. The 9 was $1000. Less data storage though. But I think just as new and shiny.

Fair enough, is that locked to T-mobile though? Do you have any intention of installing Graphene OS?

I think I could pick up a refurbished 8 Pro for about 550 though 🤔 but the 200 price tag is really tempting, then I can stack more sats 🤣

Mandana 11mo ago

I don't. It is locked and I don't need my phone for much except a good camera.

200 is pretty amazing for an unlocked phone. I support the 7!

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

Yeah, I think my mind is made up 😁

Mandana 11mo ago

Congratulations on the new (for you!) phone!

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

Thanks! Brand-new-second-hand! 😅

Been having the same debate and decided to go with the 7… preserve the stack and get what’s needed

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

Yeah bro, 200 vs 1000 is a big difference, the 0% finance was the thing tempting me though 😅 but I'm pretty made up on the seven, I think I'll order it this evening. Also, due to it being my first attempt at running graphene it's not such a huge loss if I realise it doesn't work for me for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

😆 yea same for me and I came to the same conclusion

I would just rather buy and own something instead of having a 3 year contract.

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

Yeah me too 👌🏼 but when the debt has 0% interest the bill actually gets "cheaper" over the three years thanks to inflation. But I do like having a clean financial slate.

True

i have 7 and it works just fine except for battery. but I doubt that battery will be a lot better with the 9...

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

I'm sure the battery can't be worse than my current dieing 5 Yr old phone 😅

Satty 11mo ago

BTW, do you want to install graphene os or not?

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 11mo ago

That is my intention, yes.

Satty 11mo ago

nice

Pixel 7 I would go with. They serve 7 years of security updates don’t they?
