    The lack of massive camera bump is almost reason enough for me to purchase this thing on a future sale.

        Make no sense? They all make sense:

        I have an almost Infinite amount of pictures of my kid. This might be the only use of these features, but I love being able to take good pictures at all times and getting reminders from previous years.

      Does this actually matter that much? I have a pixel 6a that has the visor style camera bump and with a case on it just disappears.

      And even if I’d use the phone without case Google’s bar shaped design still allows the phone to lay stable on a surface without wobble, just at a slight angle instead of flat. Which I guess would be an issue with other designs.

    it’s light on AI

    Good. I have yet to see a preloaded AI feature on a phone that I want to use. The one I actually want is correctly deciding of I want to be disturbed with a given notification.

          You can run Calyx on the Moto G52 with full bootloader relocking. Its the Graphene OS devs that decided to not support other hardware. They routinely make arbitrary choices and then go around acting like they are facts.

          Anyway the big benefit with the Pixel is not only the simple bootloader unlocking/relocking but also that it is popular enough to be sold in a lot of places. I think Moto comes pretty close to the Pixel but I’m not sure which devices support bootloader relocking.

          Exactly. That is my dilemma. I run CalyxOS, de-googled, but unfortunately pixels are the only phone supported in the US. I will be getting the 9a once it goes on sale.

    Just got this because it was a great deal to turn in my 6a. I’m glad it’s AI light so I don’t get bogged down in things I don’t need. If AI is great I can get it in 3 generations when it works
