    My problem is not their design but the fact they are Google phones, as I boycott Google. Also second hand Pixels are hard to acquire for a reasonable price…

      you pay them with money rather than with your data. to me it seems like a reasonable exchange

      So you shouldn’t really be using any Android phone then…

        What, and use Apple? Linux phones aren’t usable yet, and at least android is open source so using a non google Android phone doesn’t support Google.

      They are not hard to acquire, and they only have an “unreasonable price” if they are recent models.

      You won’t have any trouble finding a second-hand Pixel 5.

      I recently bought a Pixel 4a at 120€ / 131$

      Guess that depends on what you mean by reasonable.

      The 5 is $130 as refurb, with warranty, from walmart. It was $699 new.

      If you want a newer phone, well, it’s gonna cost more. Just like brand new phones.

      If their price is still “high”, that simply reflects their desireabilty, probably from a balance of features and performance by price.
