Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Pixel 5 is like 3 years old. That's wild it's end of life...

Ikr it ended way to fast. Thankfully Pixel 8's have 7 years security updates now.

I guess it's finally time to hang up my trusty 4a. It still works so well!

Would you.. Ah.. be willing to give/sell it? assuming its in good condition, it can be on T-Mobile's networks in the usa, and battery is doing alright? I'd like to get a pixel 4a to hopefully start porting and testing linux smartphone software, either by way of postmarketOS or mobian. Would be nice to have a working Linux smartphone to mess around with.

It's in excellent shape, lived its whole life in a Unicorn Beetle case. Battery life is great. Unlocked, confirmed to work with T-Mobile. I'll reach out in 2-3 weeks, to see if you're still interested, after I find a replacement.
