I'd still be happy with just my (GrapheneOS) Pixel 3, if only it were still getting closed blob security updates.

Instead, I've had to replace it repeatedly: Pixel 3, Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, and now Pixel 6a.

Each model upgrade was a regression in size and weight. The only improvement I liked was in the cameras, but photography-wise they're still only cameraphone snapshot grade, so not a worthwhile upgrade to me. I would've rather been able to keep using the Pixel 3.

I'm looking forward to keeping the Pixel 6a awhile (once the carrier flakiness that coincided with the move the other day settles down).

(Edit: Unless there comes out some local ML model that I want that needs more processing hardware.)

I bought Pixel 6 after using Pixel 3a. "On paper" size-wise it seems nearly the same (1mm+ in each dimension) but in reality I feel like having a brick now, to the point I still prefer using my 3a on the go.

I didn't realize but 147g vs 207g makes for an enormous difference. Also 1-2mm in each dimension and now it can't fit my pockets anymore.
