Price is the biggest issue for me. Those phones cost over 600 euros while you can get Pixel 9a for 400, probably less if there's a deal (I got 8a a year ago for 250). 650 euros for a mid-range phone is a lot. 200-400 euros more just not to buy a Pixel... I will think about it.

That’s the advantage of large phone manufacturers is that they can buy in bulk.

There’s also used phones with unlocked bootloaders.

I pay to support the company and for privacy, not quality for sure. With Fairphone 6, the quality is fine for me.
