Your fault for buying a phone that doesn't respect you: it has efuses (knox). Buying a regular Android phone that lets you fully restore it without a trace is the way to go.
where can I get a good phone like a pixel or fairphone or whatever in greece? phones like that cant be found anywhere.
Used market?
Online? I'm confused, do they not ship to Greece?
bought an iqunix a80 from online, tarrifs doubled the price
I'm confused, what nation did you buy from? There are no tarrifs inside the EU? I'm fairly certain you could easily find both German and Italian sites that ship to Greece.
Iqunix is a Chinese company. I bought it from the official website.
Most stores ship from the US, so I wouldn't doubt there'd be similar tarrifs alongside insane shipping cost (because transatlantic)
Ah. I see. So it's not that you can't get them it's that they are expensive and you are looking for a reasonably priced way to get one. That makes sense.

Shit. Thanks.
This is true.
I’m also wondering what OP was wearing when he took the phone in for repairs, seems like he was asking for it.
Know any good brands then that have gold hardware because I like phones with large oled screens that have good hardware but haven't found any phones that fit that yet
This is a hot take, but get a pixel. The hardware is more than good enough for basically any phone use case and you can install grapheneOS.
The battery life could be better, but it will last substantially more than a day, so complaining seems a little pointless to me.
I will consider it when looking for my next phone but my current Samsung is still functioning so I don't want to get a new phone until that one kicks the bucket
