The primary reason I replaced my Pixel 4a was it going EoL for security updates. The battery did get replaced once, and it brought it back to life. I don't want a halo device, I want something that is secure, functional, repairable and cheap enough that if this portable slab of glass explodes I am not that sad. The primary reason I replaced my device with a Pixel 8 is for the 7 years of security updates.
Going from the 4a to the 8? Barely noticed a change in functionality.
- sumtechguy 2y agoI went from a galaxy s5 to s22. About 10 years in diff. The functionality for me is nearly identical. Speed the s22 is much snappier I guess. But not something I care much about. I only replaced it because the touch screen started acting up and security updates were non-existent. I was able to keep the thing going for so long precisely because I could swap out that battery easily. To replace the newer ones involves a heat gun and a suction cup. And as jerryrigeverything says 'glass is glass'.
