I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I’m a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

    thanks, any idea what to buy instead? I’m okay with buying an android, and just flashing myself.

        I was trying to avoid google, but whatever, its not that expensive on eBay.

        Thanks!

          Check in again around the Holiday season. Chances are that Google will sell at or close to a loss.

            i doubt theyll go below 100€, plus on eBay my money doesnt go to Google, very happy.

              I’m curious about the 100 euro figure. Is that the sum of component costs?

                  Ah right, well that’s also totally fair. Glad you found something decent on ebay

      The Librem phone from Purism is like Pinephone, but a bit more cohesive and with better specs. Also more expensive, but if you’re considering a Linux phone, then Librem might be a better choice

      A pixel phone or a fairphone 4. The pixel 3a has alot of support but is old, and the fairphone 4 has alot of support and is newer. Depends on your preference
