This month is the final month of guaranteed major and security updates, and we already know Android 14 won’t land in the Pixel 4a (though it will in the Pixel 4a 5G as it has guaranteed updates until November).

So for those of you who own that phone, what do you plan to do with it? Are you going to keep using it for a couple more years without the updates? Install a custom ROM (which one?)? Or are you maybe planning to get a new phone (a Pixel?)?

If you still own an older Pixel phone, how are you keeping it alive?

    Apple is still updating 10 year old phones. Of course, I don’t expect this crowd to take that last comment seriously ;)

    Least smug Apple user

      Nothing but love. I know better than to think I’m going to convince anyone. And honestly, I think everyone has the right to personal preference.

        My dude, I’m right there with you.

        It’s all down to preferences. I hate iOS, but only for myself. I can’t stand using it, I don’t like the way iPhones are designed, etc, etc. But (other than joking with friends), that’s where it ends. This isn’t a religion, we don’t have to convert people lol.

        Hell, I end up bitching about google’s bullshit more than I go around praising android.
