$650 is way more reasonable than the previous $900.
Worth considering.

    I am getting this after I am sick of my broken pixel 7a.

    I do wish they provide better software update though, Android 15 is two versions behind current version :( .

    Ships with 16.
    17 only just released.
    And they promise software support through 2033. Though that's a vague term, not sure about full version updates.

    With the direction in which Android is developing, I don't think you'd be missing out on a whole lot of worthwhile features. I'd rather have a steady stream of security patches on a version that is not yet EOL.

    Is the microphone working? Last i heard they were firmware incompatibilities
