i’m on a used pixel 6a and frankly i have no particular desire to ever get a different model. sure it’d be nice to have something newer but this works absolutely fine and i would have 0 qualms using it for the rest of my life, barring the release of phones with hologram displays or some wacky shit.
I actually downgraded from whatever the latest Note was at the time for a second hand 6a. No complaints. And a fraction of the cost, and I’m not paying Verizon monthly installments for a “free” phone.
Related, I used to armor my phone because I get up to things that could result in damaging the phone up to and including dropping it in several feet of water. If it happens to my Pixel I’ll just go get another used one. Less stress FTW!
My pixel 6 is also still functioning perfectly fine. I’m hoping all the AI bullshit that Google is trying to shove into the new pixels fades out in a few years and then I’ll upgrade.
you can get rid of the AI bullshit right now by installing lineageos, that’s what i did and it’s a big part of making this the best phone experience available, there’s just no bullshit and everything works
I guess your battery isn’t overheating?
indeed, plus i run ACCA to limit the charge level to 75% during the day and between 40-60% at night.

I just upgraded from my trusty Pixel 4a to a refurbished Pixel 8, it would have turned 4 years old next week. The battery was completely shot at the end, I got maybe 2½ hours of screentime.
I would have been perfectly happy with just swapping the battery and using it for the next four years, but I got an okay deal on the p8 so eh.
