I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.
minus-squareLyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 days ago It’s a budget variant, The Pixel series are midrange, not high-end or flagship This doesn’t seem like that big a deal, especially as it’s a software update. Easily fixable with a firmware update like GrapheneOS
minus-squareJackFrostNCola@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 hours agoI expect even a budget phone to still work the same after 1 year.
minus-squareMrSoup@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days ago GrapheneOS Won’t they push this update?
minus-squareAlk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoPixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that’s not flagship territory, I don’t know what is.

minus-squareAlk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·20 hours agoThat is correct! However they said “the pixel series” meaning the entire lineup of pixels.
minus-squareAbidanYre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 days agoI don’t think the ‘a’ variants are ever close to that price.
