If a country weakens their currency to boost exports or anything, and it’s not part of a cooperative environment but instead hostile, won’t other countries just respond with countermeasures like a round of QE or lowering interest rates?
Is this like when Idi Amin called himself King of Scotland?
Ah! I didn’t know they didn’t sell there, that changes things.
The pro versions will be much more expensive than the “a” models (like 9a, 8a, 7a, etc), if you can find an “a”-phone, it will be cheaper. I would get at least an 8a, since they have support until 2030 or something like that, the 7a has support until 2027. The 6a is the oldest one which still has support, but only for a year or so more iirc.
How much is a refurbished pixel 8a in your country?
Would there be any benefit in running google play services in a private space, or does the sandboxing already provide that separation?
I got a pixel 9a for 370 euro in Sweden, which isn’t too bad. You can get a good refurbished 7 for less and it will have support for years to come.
In my country everything is built around this 2FA app that requires Google Play Services. But a phone with GrapheneOS and sandboxed google play should be better in total than just running stock android I guess? I wish I didn’t need google play services, but currently I do.
One reason can be if the involved apps don’t have unrestricted battery access. Then the OS will put the app to “sleep” when not used. Could be worth checking.
