GOS has a duress pin feature fyi.
Oh wow, I'm getting more jealous ๐
I'm still hanging on my Samsung A-series phone because of the microsd card slot (and also don't feel like spending $500 for a phone at the moment)
If you're worried about paying $500, I got my 6a for $200 from Best Buy (I checked beforehand to make sure it would be unlockable)
6a has like 2 years of support left
$200 / 2 Years = $100 per year
8a is $500, theres more than 6 years of support left
$500 / 6 Years = $83.33 per year
Math doesn't work out lol. Besides, where do you even get one for $200 lol, unlocked ones are $299
My compromise was 7a for $300 this summer. Still a very painful price for me, but imo worth it.
It was refurbished lol
