    My least favorite thing is it is getting old and I can’t find a good equivalent to the Pixel 4a to replace it with. They are all too big, have no headphone jack, and are too expensive for what I get out of them.

      Oh, I know what you’re talking about. I got a “new” phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

      The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn’t try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won’t be disappointed.

        LOS is fine, though I haven’t used it in a while. I may just try and get a new battery in my 4a as the screen is still perfect and all the ports work fine. Still after using this phone for four years, I’d love an upgrade.

      Zenfone 9? Pixel 5a? About the only remotely close options I found out there. I went with the 5a, but it’s getting close to end of life, so I’m debating the slightly newer zenfone 9 now…

        I did look at the Zenfone 9 actually and my biggest issue was the locked bootloader and no custom rom support. It may not be a total deal breaker, but it was enough to give me pause. The 5a would be great if it wasn’t nearly as old as the 4a. I would still be considering Pixels if they hadn’t ruined the “a” line.
