I'd love a phone around that price that would run Graphene.

Why not just buy an older pixel a model ...? Like a 7a ... It is cheaper and runs GOS.

I personally can't buy phones without physical dual sim.

Dual eSIMs when travelling have failed me too many times.

Everything is moving to esim.

Yet another attempt by carriers and phone manufacturers to take away control from users.

When I was looking, the older models were around $500. Looks like they came down in price. I also looked at used, but my company stipend/discount would only apply to new.

you can get a used 6a for ~$160

You get a used 7a for that price.
