MODERATORS
GSMArena says it's a Sony IMX800 with a 1/5.6" sensor, which is pretty respectable hardware, better than many premium compacts from years ago. With the right camera app or post processing you can get decent images from this.
1/1.56", big difference.

Can anything from the new phone be used on the pervious models?
Looking at the spare parts from the shop it appears that it's not possible. It would have been cool, but that must be pretty dang hard to do without compromising the new device.
I like it. If Google didn't send me a new pixel 6a when my 5a broke, I'd have bought one right now. Hopefully these catch on and are still around in a few years when this one breaks. I'll get one for sure..
Sounds like the perfect opportunity for GrapheneOS
How did they fit in so many ads?
I could live without headphones jack, but its thick and cost almost 2x the price I can afford. Id consider keeping it if I get it for free because I like the Idea of repairability

I would definitely get this phone if I can get it easily in my current location. Otherwise, I'll help reduce my smartphone usage impact by using it long term and give it to my family members after I get a new phone.
That's what I did. Used my ROG Phone 2 for four years before giving it to my brother in law and getting a Fold5 because of work.
