Not excited, but not disappointed. When my current phone reaches EOL i'll buy the next pixel phone, put grapheneos on it and keep being mostly satisfied. No need to buy a new phone before EOL. EOL for my phone is 2028

If they released a phone with a headphone jack, I'd buy that as soon as it was available to signal that its important to me, I wouldn't wait for my current phone to go EOL.

I'm abnormal, I know. People in my life get new phones more frequently.

Person A: when their phone gets full, they buy a new one

Person B: can't keep their phone from getting cracked and destroying hr display every 6 months or so

Person C: keeps losing their phone, in a bus, on a airplane, at the beach... So far

I don't know anybody who buys a phone, just to buy a new phone for fashion or chasing trends.

I have had the same phone for over 5 years. I run Lineage OS and it gets security updates once a month. The downside is that it doesn't get firmware updates but that has more to do with Qualcomm
