Hi,
A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion?
Cheers and thank you for your help,

Dude it’s less than four years old lol I get what you are saying but Q3 2020 is not that long ago.
It’s extremely old for a new daily driver phone you want to buy and for Android updates.
I know what you meant but unless you’re gaming there’s nothing you can do with a Pixel 8 that can’t be done with the 4a (though I usually reccomend the P5 because for a few dollars more you can get wireless charging and significantly better battery life).
Firmware updates.
a four year old phone should absolutely still be getting updates
Say that to capitalists.
if only they would listen
The new Pixel phones get 7 years now. Things are improving
