I'm glad it's 7 inches screen this way I can sell my tv to afford it while replacing it at the same time

this just means that it will be expensiveee

Hyperbolic much? $1k is a lot sure. But comparing a $1k phone to a bunch of billionaire pedos is laughable. Also you can buy previous Pixels that support Graphene.

Minority of a minority of a minority.

No jack? Send it back!!

It's not a privacy based phone. It's a phone they're hoping to sell to mass market consumers that so happens to be about to run a privacy based OS.

You are not the target audience and will continue to not be unless people like you become the dominant consumer of such a device. The problem is the people who enjoy this community, by and large, own a pixel 3 and won't purchase anything unless it's got every feature they want.

Even more unfortunately is those features only end up on cheap phones because manufacturers correlated them with poor people. Need a headphone jack? Must be too poor to afford Bluetooth headphones. Need an sd card slot? Must be too poor to afford a cloud subscription or bigger phone. Need a removable battery or to repair your device? You obviously can't afford to buy a new phone every 2 years.

The bottom line is you are all too sensible to spend the money and influence design decisions so this is what you get.

Even the cheap motos have headphone jacks, but I guess that's to much to ask.

Graphene picked an OEM who were willing to work with them and a device with the right CPU to support the hardware security features.

This was what was available.

I think people going for this hardware + OS are more of a function over form crowd.

Jesus, I don't care what it does to the image quality, I just don't ever want 4 lenses on the back of my phone

Is it? The camera lenses are a bit off-putting but it's a slab with circles on the back like every other phone since the mid 2010s
