I just wasn’t paying attention. I stopped looking at hardware specs (apart from storage and memory) some years ago when everything seemed to run well enough. I’ve been using second-hand Pixels for GrapheneOS and that’s another reason I didn’t pay attention, since they were the only option for it and I was buying old stuff anyway. I’m curious to see what Motorola and GrapheneOS come up with.
Fair enough! Phones have absolutely gotten to the point where most people can’t effectively tell the difference between a mid range phone from 5 years ago and the latest flagship.
All my Pixel-owning friends had to switch/upgrade after -at most- two years due to various issues, which is what colored my opinion of them being dogshit.
