Software has done leaps ahead in the past years, if you actually tried Android 13 you would see that actually A LOT has changed since Android 9 you're using. I could list 100 things that really make a difference in using a phone but you'd still say you don't care, in that case, a monochrome Nokia with snake is the same thing, use that until 2050.

Getting a new mobile phone within a period of 6-7 years is pointless, to begin with.

Android 9 doesn't even have gestured navigation or option for granular permission control and so much more stuff that make using your phone so much easier and safer. Even Android 10 was a huge leap from 9. The others, not so much, but still bright important security and data privacy systems. You can't just disregard everything.

Oliver Wafula, 20 Feb 2024Why do we only 128gb version when it can't support SD card ?I'm okay with that. The size of each photos is just 2-4MB and system size is just 13GB.

So long pixel 6a and it's lagging fingerprint. I traded you in for moto g stylus 2023 than went for an a54gb using same fingerprint tech and I'm getting 10/10 unlock rate. Oh my signal is full not like your Google that I barely had no signal.

Oliver Wafula, 20 Feb 2024Why do we only 128gb version when it can't support SD card ?Google has never supported sd card on none of their pixels since day 1. Google is not the only one in this game. It's to make users spent more if they need more storage. But again they could have made to vibrant of pixel 6a. At least second one with 256gb option atleast.

neysariy, 15 Feb 2024You are right. But 7yo update always got me. Pixel 6a just ... moreAgreed.
Even so, you wouldn't need newer Android versions. I use a Nokia 8 with Android 9 Pie, and it's completely capable with modern apps and doesn't look or feel far off from Android 12. And Google play updates are there, at least until 2030 for my phone, which is definitely a good reason to keep your phone for longer too.
You can consider getting a newer phone later, but it isn't worth it imho. You might have better expenditures in your life than a mobile phone. Nothing different, and nothing gained for practicality.
I wouldn't say the same thing with laptops though, as they can be considered good investments when the hardware becomes cheap as chips. Even though most parts are soldered, there's a bit of a flexibility with RAM and SSD upgrades. There are some others like the Framework laptop, with a well put out modular design, making everything easier, even for the end user.

Do you mind if i upgrade from this phone to pixel 8 or pixel 8a?. If i dont upgrade maybe i would lost my phone value and price and lose opportunity. And if i upgrade maybe i would waste my money for useless and unnecessary and minor upgrade.

I think it was even better than this in details and realistic photos and specially zoom. The zoom of this phone is terrible when i zoom i will lost so many details and colors. I work whole day with phone. Pixel 6a Battery will just give 7-8 hours screen time from 80 to 20 percent that is not enough for me. Although maybe it would lasts 1 day if i use from 100 to 0 percent but i dont want to damage battery. However I'm not sure and i respect your opinion. Maybe Other phones are like this and i am perfectionist but camera and battery of this phone didn't satisfied me. Other than these, i love this phone.
