I read about Google’s decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?

I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

    What’s framework?

    Did a quick internet search, and I see the concept of a “framework phone”, but I’m not seeing it as a brand. Can you link to what you mean?

        Hmm, they don’t seem to (currently) make smart phones.

        I do like the philosophy they seem to be promoting though, so if grapheme can make that happen, I’d love to get in on it all.

          Yes framework the computer the company. This is what I was talking about in my comment when I said they’re likely working with someone who’s not currently in the market
