After 10 + years using Google phones because they were good basic mid range phones without a lot of the fluff of other MFGs after my 6a kicks the bucket no more for me.
Value proposition is gone, my Nexus 5x had the bootloop problems and every software update made it more unusable. And then both my 4a and 6a were part of their battery nonsense.(Foobar2k can drain my battery to under 20% from 80% in less than 3 hours now and I have to bring a battery pack to work now lol)
The lack of MicroSD and removal of 3.5mm jacks are icing on the cake. I'll have to do a lot of shopping next time. And this seems just as underwhelming and bloated with AI junk. Motorola I think had the closest compromise when I was looking after the 4a broke. Hopefully they still do and have a fingerprint reader that isn't in the screen. The 6a's in screen one is soooo bad.
Google, do evil.
