Ralimba, 16 Dec 2024I really want to install Postmarket os on my pixel 3a xlhttps://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Google_Pixel_3a_XL_(google-bonito). Instead of pre-build image use pmbootstrap and choose device "bonito", display (possibly) Tianma. Pre-build image actually for 3a and naturally screen may not fit properly. Thanks

    Great device. Could run Ubuntu Touch, Droidian as well as PostmarketOS. Mobian also getting through. Superb for geeks.

      Google Pixel 3a XL has nothing but trouble. In the first year, a dark green vertical line came on phone screen whenever it was humid or rained even though the phone is dry. I had to contact Google overseas customer support to get a replacement. Now in it 3rd year of service, the touch screen no longer works. I consider this phone brand very unrealible. I will never buy another Google phone in my lifetime. My brother also had a Google phone and he said he had reliability issues. Google spends a lot of money marketing like they are the best but they cannot back it up with customer support or reliability. Even on the resale market, Google phones have very low resale value.

                        Mine is still going strong like a champ. Full battery still lasts a day unless I'm doing something extravagant. Wish new model phones kept the 3.5mm aux ports. Wish the whole planned obsolescence in the industry, due to drying up of software support, would stop, because the hardware is still good enough for most tasks. Allowing batteries to be replaceable should be standard.

But anything below pixel 6a on the a series used mid range chip. Even pixel 5 uses mid range chip is not even a a series. Id say pixel 6a and above are the best in class since it uses high end chips. Not saying you should upgrade. But its 2023 and that phone was out 2019 not too long but no upgrades available for it.
