    You can buy second hand phones and then Google doesn’t get any more money. Easy solution.

      buying second hand phones is like buying clothes with a hole in it. your going to have to replace the battery or the phone alot sooner than buying it new

        Batteries are good now though. I buy almost all used tech where possible. No complaints. If you get a sufficiently new used phone, it’s not physically possible for the battery to have undergone enough cycles to degrade noticably. Very good value early on I’d say.
