  • My OP3 was dying and I needed a new poo phone, I can’t afford buying things whenever I want so that’s extra incentive to hold on to my devices, so after 5 years of use (the OP3 was second hand) I finally got the opportunity to switch phones and I got the pixel 6a (second hand as well)

    Honestly I love it, it’s basically the same size and almost the same dimensions as my previous phone but with a bigger screen, the OS has some very cool and intuitive options here and there, the camera is better back and front, the battery is great for my use case, I appreciate having a new phone again that will still have decent software support.

    And all of this for around 200€, the same price I got my OP3 5 years ago, I’m really glad I could find such a good phone for this price.

    I used to mod a lot back in the day, installing custom roms, custom kernels, all kinds of apps, but that changed and I just use a DNS and ublock on Firefox, I’m not even planning to unlock the bootloader and root this one, I’m happy with stock, it has everything I need at this point in life.



  • Not the same person but I’m using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that’s just a few advantages it offers.
