Worth buying new in 2025?
Buy a Pixel phone they said Pixel phones have lots of support they said
Really wish Google brought this perfect form-factor (and its light weight) back in their future Pixels, but with better battery life, and of course without "AI" bloatware. The way where the newer Pixels (and iphones) are headed I am not buying new phones any time soon..

Searched the faq on Google, and found out they offer a battery replacement for my location, Singapore. I went to the service center and enquired about the battery replacement, which is free of charge that is a pleasant surprise for me. After the replacement of battery, my pixel 4a work as normal prior the software upgrade.
4a served as a perfect phone for 4 years. Then I felt like an idiot two times: when I accepted the update of death and second time when requested for discount instead of money. Google store has ridiculous prices, way higher than on amazon.

Anonymous, 28 Mar 2025worth buying in 2025 if I install a custom rom?linage os is good option you may recive latest updates for next few years. if you want something without gapps graphene os is best but they stop udates last year. If you are buying a used one try to replace battery.

If your phone had a decent battery life prior to dreadful update, you can install a custom rom to undo it.
PixelBuilds rom for example took me about 10-15 minutes to install,
It’s also based on Android 14 with most recent security update.
Bear in mind, it wipes the data so make a backup.
YMMV in terms of banking apps, but it’s worth trying as they don’t make phones like that anymore.

This is such a nice phone,too bad google ruined it with their "battery health" update. It makes the phone unusable
The phone was great until 6th January 2025, when Google pushed an update (the first one after years of no updates) that basically killed the battery.

Would you please tell me about your experienc... moreI used it for 5 months, all of a sudden it wasn't charging again until i met someone who repaired it for me. The 2nd issue is immediately you updated the phone then they give u alert of battery replacement. And your battery will never last long like when it was with no update.
