I was always a cheap Nexus/Pixel A guy that traded up when the new budget phones went for sale on the Play store. I got my 6A for like 150 bucks brand new. When the 8A was announced for 500 dollars and barely better than the 6A I jumped to a refurbished 7 Pro and I'll probably just keep this phone until something really special comes out or I just abandon carrying a cellphone all together [most likely.]
This warmongering nation?
