Pixel 7a price on Amazon US slashed by $100 for Prime Day (lemmy.world)

Just a heads up, the Pixel 7a’s price fell to $399 on Amazon US (MSRP is $499 but it also used to retail for around $450), which makes it very interesting given that the phone came out in May this year, meaning that there will be guaranteed updates until May 2028....

Can vouch for all three of these products. I prefer the pro buds and find they are worthy for the extra battery alone (received the series-a as a promo with the 7a and use them for running.)

As to the phone, I find it is a steal at that price. Upgraded to Android 14 last week and had it rooted and just the way I like things on day one. I understand it works well with grapheneOS if privacy is one’s jam. The functionality itself is very snappy and the device does basically everything that the new models do short of some (imo minor) hardware bells and whistles.

Given the relative repairability and ~5 more years of official support; this model is maybe the least enshittified piece of hardware I’ve bought since the Steam Deck.

Coming from a traditional reader, I was ready to agree with you. Honestly though the in screen reader has been so smooth as to be invisible to me. Android 14 now reports individual figures for use with Tasker and the functionally is as seamless and snappy as it was with the classic FP reader.

Pixel Flasher is also available as a GUI solution but I am hesitant to recommend it as the minimal technical knowledge required to sideload and/or root will also help bail one out of problems.

Thanks for this post, I’m looking forward to hammering something like this out myself and this is a great jumping off point. 👍

Well at least some of us can read the snark. You had me in that first moment though.

I just got back into Lemmy and Alexandrite is nice. Boost just launched in beta on Android and seems solid and pretty to boot.

Grew up on White Oak, wild but very cool seeing it in your username. 👍

A public Searxng instance is a great way to get some privacy back. We can run searches against multiple engines and settings stay in the local browser. Image searches can be proxied as well if the particular instance allows for it.

Enjoy!
