Yeah until those are no longer supported and these expensive ass Motorolas are the only option BC Google is locking down newer models that won't be able to have GOS installed eventually.
Well if there at one point is no reasonably priced smartphone for graphene I'll either go lineage or dumb phone.
It's locking down newer models. Some models still have 6 years of updates ahead of them. It's a bit too early to start panicking about it.
Yes, I said they're slowly locking down the newer models. And yeah, older pixels still have some time. But is this crisis we are in gonna end by the time those pixels lose support or are these Motorolas going to be our only option. That's all I'm pointing out. Yeah, still a little early to panic but if how things have been lately, I think this is looking to be bad for the average person who doesn't have a lot of money. Over $2,000 USD is absolutely insane.
