[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 14 points 1 year ago* (1 child) GrapheneOS is the way to go with a Pixel phone. Wifi calling works just fine on my Pixel 8. As does VoLTE. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tamal3@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) I don't believe they support the 3a. I'm really vintage. Any idea how long support will last for the 8? I feel a little burned by the lack of support for the 3a, though I understand that a) 6 years for a phone is a good run in this wasteful world, and b) wifi calling on the 3a hasn't been dropped by choice, but is actually a complicated issue that small #s of devs are still working on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Any idea how long support will last for the 8?

I'm so used to desperately trying to make this old 3a work that I didn't realize they'd listed out support expectations for more recent models. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* I believe the Pixel 9a is also available. You might snag that one instead of an 8a just to give yourself another year of support. permalink fedilink source parent
