So they're coming to terms that nobody wants to buy what is basically the same kind of phone now a days for higher price... and so now they want to scam people by "upgrading" to what they think will be cheaper when in reality, it's probably not...

    My last few phones were super cheap kinda no name phones that i just debloated. My phones usually crack because of work or whatever. Now i bought a used pixel 10 to install custom firmware on it, and thought that i'm on the edge of techonology now for the first time in 10 years. Lik idk. It's maybe a bit faster and the fotos are better... Perhaps?
