Pixel 4a (not 5G) owners, what do you plan to do with your phone now that it reached its final Android update? (lemmy.world)

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?

I plan to make the jump to an 8 this year. I was holding out on the headphone jack but it's time. The 8 should be a decent jump and the rumors about docking are really appealing to me for light office work.

Docking also means video out. The community for the Pixel 8 will be huge. I bet even Postmarket OS and Pure OS wik make ports for it. I just wish Waydroid gets good enough by then, to use WhatsApp, Google Maps, and my Banking app.

Have a 5G (custom ROM Graphen and some modifications) but i use it until it breaks or becomes so slow it doesn't fit my needs anymore and afterwards it gets a Cremation in my furnace, the remains go to recycling.
