Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.

My 3A has been amazing. Still works ok. Only considering an update because I want the security updates and don't want to fuck around with Lineage again.

Might I recommend pixel experience roms?

Edit: I use it for my 4a and thought the 3a would be much the same but it looks like it's deprecated, my apologies for getting your hopes up.

It looks like the 4a versions are listed as deprecated as well. Darn.

Wow it just got deprecated, well that sucks. Might have to look into a new phone soon. I just really don't want a new one lol

It's a bummer. I really like this phone and it is more than fast enough.

Google kind of made a mess of the 6 it sounds like, so I guess that's out. Maybe the 7? Or is the 6a any good? Idk.

I loved my 3a so much. I upgrade to p7p and it's fine, really good. But the 3a was just such a good experience and feels so good in the hand. Miss you bb.
