I wanted to buy the Zenfone 9, but 900€ is too much for a phone in my opinion, and the price never went down despite a lot of time passing from release, so…
I’ve been watching the 9 on eBay, and it was tempting… but for the same price I could get a pixel 7a. The only loss would be the headphone jack, which I have finally come to terms with, I think!
I was really mad when they removed it but eventually got over it. It sucks. But I bought really nice Bluetooth earbuds for travelling and when I need to listen to audio at home with higher fidelity, I just connect my DAC+AMP.

Putting GrapheneOS on the pixel helped me cope with no headphone jack or SD card :/
