Is pixel 4a too old for a new phone? - Lemmy.World
Hi, A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently
using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I
suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned
obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion? Cheers and
thank you for your help,
Yes, that is too old for a new phone considering it’s already past its end-of-life for both official support and your OS. I’m not sure why you’d recommend them to buy new either - a phone like that is only going to be good value if you pick up a used one for cheap. A new model will be massively overpriced for what it is (and may not even be new, just refurbished and repackaged).
I guess they were talking about a refurbished or a used one.
