Seeing the new features of the pixel 10 gave me arguments to switch to the Fairphone

They are expensive as fuck (500€ for the 9a, 700 for the 9) but since my only other options are either

• Phone with more Bloatware and no unlockable bootloader, so I have to hope to be able to install MicroG myself (smasnug) for 700€

Or

• Phone with Lineage ROM, but not even a third of the updates (3 years vs 8) and even worse repairability score than pixel (Nothing) for 700€

I’ll happily buy a 12a when the extended support for my 7 ends.

Honestly the normal phone market is so mature at this point that there isnt going to consistently be much difference between one device and the next. This seems like a good piece of evidence for that.

Is there a specific question you’d like answered? This community is full of various discussions.

The Pixel 10 basically seems like the Pixel 9 but with even more bloat. On paper, the hardware specs between the two certainly aren’t much different.

Earlier pixel phones where known for their stock android experience. By now I feel it has changed. Now there are more AI applications on pixels than any phones out there and they all seems to be doing the same.

These pixel phones are essentially turning into a solely connected devices that need internet connection just to perform anything interesting. And also a privacy nightmare.
