I love my current pixel 5. Ive had it for several years now, and the size is really nice. My battery is starting to show wear and the charge port doesn't connect very well, although I probably just need to give it a good cleaning.
Unfortunately, Google will only push security updates until this October. Third-party OSes like Calyx or Graphine will keep the open source components patched as long as they can, but they can't fix any bugs in the proprietary pieces.
Although its definitely more expensive, I keep thinking about grabbing a refurbished pixel 7 or 6, since google promises 5 years of security updates.
Went from pixel 5 to fold, same things happening to my 5 Fold besides thickness is a really good small phone form factor. Very slightly shorter, which pixel 5 was slightly too long for m, and slightly wider so I can one hand reach top an the opposite side with the fold.
I was just about to write pretty much the same comment. I'm dreading getting a new phone, they're all so large.
