    Pixels are expensive on introduction but get fairly affordable once they’ve been around for a while. Does the 9 have any real attractions if you’re satisfied with the cameras on older Pixel generations? You can get unused Pixel 6’s and 7’s at budget-phone prices on woot fairly regularly. They seem nice, if you want a Pixel for whatever reason.

        Fair enough. I remember thinking the last good one was the 4a since it has a headphone jack and SD slot, iirc. I guess I could do without those if other parts of the proposition were good enough.

          Pixels never had the SD card slot

            Ah oh well. Maybe it’s possible to use a USB-C pen drive if you don’t mind a contraption hanging off the port. It could be useful some of the time. Other than Graphene I don’t understand what is so great about Pixels anyway. Maybe this is about the last chance to get a phone that’s not loaded with AI crap though.
