Since the Pixel 1 I’ve been buying a new phone every four years. Honestly I prefer it that way. Saves money and the upgrades feel more meaningful. As long as the battery is good, you still get security updates, and the hardware is intact, what is the reason to upgrade beyond being told to consume?
Looking forward to the Pixel 8 next month, since my 4 is actually starting to show it’s age.
My 5… battery is draining faster, apps have to be started, are slow to load. I’ve done the cache cleanup and everything under the sun. Might see what the 7 costs in a week or two when they announce the 8… usually previous inventory is marked down.
I miss the formfactor of the 5 so much. Perfect size and symmetrical bezels. The rounded corners were comfortable in the palm.
Thankfully the rounded corners are returning but the phone is still too big IMO. They need to get to at least 6.1".
I have the 6a as I needed to replace the 5 due to a screen issue and it was cheaper to replace the phone than the screen.
