I 100% understand and support why the moved away from google.
And Motorola was a good choice. But they really should have supported some budget phones.
A pixel series a could easily be found for under 500€ new. These flagship motorola phones are all way over 1000€.
And the developer clearly said they had currently no intention to support cheaper motorola phones. Among other things because Motorola won't offer 7 year updates for anything but these flagships.
So, I get it. But let's face it that people on a budget will keep using pixels for GOS while they are maintained.
they didn't abandon pixels though. they just take a little extra time because they have to manually update the old device trees now.
