This is more like my spare phone. I have another main phone for personal use.
In that case just get one of those feature phones ( dumb phone ) or cheap non camera smartphones. I recall there was a brand that specifically sells Android phone without camera. Ino mobile I think

I only came bcuz of notification somebody @ my user name here received notification.
I never step into this thread :o

Before any pixel fans come and attack me...

Jeffrey nvr state his budget & mention he chyna phone cannot so he asked 6a can or anot....

from my understanding Yes 6a cam is good with the help with Google photography algorithm....

But given 6a price point I am assuming he is looking for 200-500 ish phone that is non Chyna.... 6a is by Google so it's a clean stock android which has long term update and security for that given price point... 🤷‍♀️

Hello everyone good morning. Thank you all for helping me with sieving out all the different phones and sharing with me the details. Apologies for not stating my requirements.

For my work phone, I need a phone that can only be Apple, samsung, sony or LG.

New or 2nd hand phone I'm fine with it.

My maximum budget is $400. Will eventually be removing the camera of the phone until I change job :)

So long as the phone is durable, not ridden with QC problems like fast batt drain, overheating or screen issues, I'm good with it :)

Hi all. Been one whole year of updates for 6A.
So far, is the Tensor chip still overheating and needing to shut down from video recording and gaming based on your personal experience? Thank you for your feedback 🙂

If you consider yourself a heavy user, don't consider pixel with Tensor. It's perfectly fine for light to medium usage. Former 6a and current 7 user.

Is it due to a less than desirable battery life?

With the recently announced impending 3G shutdown in July 2024, I am kinda worried about the VoLTE support for the esim part of the phone.
