It's one of the most interesting new phones (at least for me). Moderate pricing, long support, good hardware. And probably many options like LineageOS or Graphene if you want a custom operating system.

The design is also noticeably softer and cuter than previous Pixels, which may appeal more to some.

Last time I checked it was the same price as the Pixel 8...

I saw offers from 400€, that price seems fair. These offers might depend on your country.

I got mine for $300 because I'm also on a Fi plan. But I'm sure most phones can be subsidized similarly.

Does Google Fi allow for OEM unlocking (to install a custom ROM)?

I use a pixel from the google store on google fi and had no issues flashing new roms, Cellular worked fine with lineage and graphene on my 6a.
