Both the translation and the original news are like one paragraph long with 0 context or source.

It’s also quite ridiculous, I’m from Madrid and pixels seem to be the phone of choice for most of my (non tech) friends.

Pixels used to be quite unknown, as most people go for budget Chinese brands, now they’re getting popular. “Get an iPhone-level camera for 300 bucks” is a massive selling point.

Latest Pixels are nearly 1k EUR though. Slightly too expensive but still a top pick for me.

Ara is a pro-secessionist diary so take their news about the national police in Spain with a pinch of salt.

>>elnatr+k1
That’s the Mossos, not the national police of Spain.

>>dofube+q2
Then the title is wrong and should mention that “A Catalan policeman says that…”.

Latest highest end model. The "a" model are more in the 550€ area and still have super decent camera, especially if you aren't a selphie addict.

Being the models with the longest firmware support, it is not uncommon for people to buy them second hand at around 300€. I bought my Pixel 6a last year for around 200€.

>>elnatr+S3
Mossos aren't policemen.

>>prmous+C6
What are they then? It’s a regional police force.

>>prmous+C6
Mossos are the Police of Catalonia modulo borders, counterterrorism and higher duties which are dealt by the Guardia Civil (akin to Gendarmerie).

>>elnatr+09
They are mossos ;-)

>>prmous+C6
Yeah they are. Their official name is literally "Policia de la Generalitat de Catalunya".
