Mint Mobile has a deal for a Pixel 9 Pro $599 when you buy another year's plan... Going to have to renew in February anyways...

Should I get it? $600 is a good amount of sats... I do enjoy new tech/hardware

there is a certain satisfaction that comes with not buying a new phone too

sent from my pixel 7

💯... My Pixel 7 Pro is still perfectly fine

I unpacked new pixel 4a not so long ago. Cost me $100 1.5y ago. And it can do 95% of things new pixel 9 can.

Appreciate this, I'm being convinced not to send it 🫂

Wait, Is it still supported by grapheneOS?

Yeah but not by Google so the security isn't the best because they don't allow GrapheneOS to update certain hardware parts

4a still better than Pixel 9, can't even get a headphone jack with the Pixel 9, straight in the garbage can with it

The 4a had the best form factor and I definitly miss the headphone jack. The 9 is ugly as hell btw. I would only buy if it was the only option to run graphene.

Incredibly based

GO FOR IT IF YOU FEEL SO MOVED, SEEMS LIKE A COMPETITIVE PRICE. PIXELS ARE GREAT AT RUNNING GRAPHENE OS. BETTER YET WHEN BOUGHT ANONYMOUSLY WITH CASH TO SEPARATE ONE'S IDENTITY FROM THE DEVICE IMEI, HOWEVER. MINT USED TO ALLOW ANON/PSEUDONYM ACCOUNTS BUT AM NOT SURE IF THAT'S CHANGED.

🤔🤔 would definitely be running GrapheneOS

I'm waiting till they have built-in Qi2 which will be the 10, I believe

Get a Redmagic 10 instead

$650, maybe 30 less if you can still get the early bird deal thing

I play Fallout 4 on my Redmagic 9S, you can't do that on a Pixel 9 Pro

I should point out though, only 3 years of security updates with the Redmagic

I don't game anymore and would want to run GrapheneOS

Pixel 4a or 5a then for a headphone jack

Pixels have only gotten worse since then, the camera on my Pixel 8 wasn't even as good as the one on my 4a

Is the phone unlocked? Can you install GrapheneOS on it? Something I'd at least want to know before finding out there were limitations to the hardware...
