My current Samsung phone (S23) is struggling real bad. I need to change it. I’ve been focused on privacy lately and learnt about GrapheneOS. This is not really the point of my question. Rather the context.
What is the overall feedback of the Google Pixel 10a? I’m seriously considering it, refurbished. It looks compact enough, has space for a physical sim card…
I hope I’m making the right choice!!


By “tap to pay” do you just mean contactless payments? They do work, just not via Google Pay. I’m using something called “Curve Pay” which seems to work perfectly (and it’s now owned by Lloyd’s Bank in the UK so it’s not like its some random company I’m trusting). I believe there are other third party providers, apparently the PayPal app works but only if you’re in Germany.
Or just tape your card to the back of your phone for the simplest solution.
