    My Pixel 4a 5G just died. Screen turned off, nothing turns the phone back on. Had it for just over 3 years.

    I have a Samsung S8 that I’m using right now, and it accomplishes the vast majority of my day to day needs. I’m only missing a better camera, and Android 9 prevents the use of some apps. This this is from 2017! Glad I kept it in a drawer.

      iPhones routinely last 5-7 years just from security updates. I’ve heard of Genius Bar employees supporting iPhones over ten years old.
