My pixel 4a 5g works like a charm. 3.5 years and still going fine. I used my pixel 2 for three years so badly. I used it as a hotspot every single day and the number of battery cycles were as if the phone was used for 6 years.

My pixel 4a5g takes photos that are on reasonable standards, obviously they won't match match, but it doesn't make a serious difference either to me. I need three things from my phone - battery, camera and lag free user experience. I don't need thinner bezels for gods sake, I can't understand the craze and demand for thinner bezels over a two day battery life.

DON'T UPGRADE TO ANDROID 14, I am 4a 5G user, work as charm on last version of Android 13 September version, I feel like a lot of dropping frame while using Android 14. I feel upset and dissapointed towards Google now.

Whatever you do, don't take the Android 14 upgrade. Mine is dogshit slow now. I'm trying to decide if I can be bothered losing all my config and setting it up again with Android 13, or just paying Google for a new phone.

It may just need a little while to settle down. I get the feeling a lot of things get updated in the background after the initial upgrade.

I noticed that my old Pixel 5 felt really slow for the first 30 minutes or so, but it seems to be returning to normal now.
