Ironically enough, Google Pixels are great phones if you need to de-google with GrapheneOS.
I just can't buy it and support them
Buy used on Swappa/ebay
Shameless plug for backmarket. They're pretty solid
Twice the price of ebay
Depending on the state of the thing you're looking at, maybe? A pixel 6 pro goes for ~220 on backmarket and ~210 on eBay. Does eBay guarantee free 30 day returns and have a great 1 year warranty? Depends on the seller. Backmarket offers it sitewide. Id rather pay a few extra bucks to not have to fight with someone over getting my money back or my shit fixed
I usually never spend more than $100 on a used phone. The $100 phones on eBay can't be found for the same price on backmarket
Or CalyxOS
