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?
Shit it’s that time is it? I will probably keep it with the intention of installing something else on it. And then not look at it for a few years at a time, stumble across it and it’s older siblings and think “I should do something with these”.
I guess I better hunt down a new Pixel. Sucks because unlike the last one (2XL) this one – which I bought used, by the way, first time doing that – isn’t painfully slow, battery still holds up fine. I don’t need it for any other reason than I would rather not risk running an unpatched device.
