Pixel 3a is a soldier.
I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I've left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works. Since then, I've also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won't turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix. To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

AnySoftKeyboard is nice also


Some people just don’t want anything to do with Google and I respect that. In that case I’d go with a Pinephone tho.

Otherwise, a used Pixel with GrapheneOS isn’t giving much to Google in my opinion.


Best GPS navigation app that doesn’t require Google Play Services in 2023?
I'm looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?
