Pixels are some of the cheapest phones

Not in my experience? A new Pixel 8 costs like 800€, thats like 600€ more than I would consider appropriate for a phone. All these prices are made up

Pretty sure he meant cheapest used

A p7p used goes for around US$400 here

Pixel 8 has full support from google until 2030. Know of any current phones going for under 800 bucks with anywhere near that support lifetime?

Also, the pixel 7a is supported until 2026 and is $500. Both prices are quite reasonable for a computing device you're going to carry around for at least the next three years.

In this case a Pixel 8 is the only real option poorly. How can a phone just last 3 years from now on? Thats crazy...
