    I’m not saying that because I like iPhones.

    You are in the US so pixels are widely available and cheap. As is the FE series.

    Where I live, outside the US, the Pixel is not sold nor will Google let you buy it. So pixel is a no go.

    The Fan Edition Samsung costs virtually the same as the regular edition where I live, if you can find an FE. It costs €700+…

    99% of our population can only afford €250-300 phones. €700 is out of reach unless you’re single, hehe a great job and still live with mum and dad. Or you are the 1%.

    So at that price ALL the android cameras are shit, shit, shit.

    So, if I import from the UK a used iPhone 12 it will cost about €350. At that price NOTHING can touch it below €700.

    Everything below €700 is Chinese cheapie and Samsung cheapie, also known as crap phones.

      I don’t get it. I live in Germany and own a pixel 7 pro. I had no trouble buying it. In fact, I just bought one for my wife. Decided I don’t need the pixel 8 because the 7 pro works like a charm. Where do you live that you can’t buy Pixels?

        Cyprus. Also in the EU but no official sales or support. I’m sure it’s the same in most countries in South America, Africa, Asia and the Far East.
