      I just bought my phone second hand, not “refurbished”. I buy last years model for a big discount from the people who upgrade every year.

      I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to go back to a pixel 4a, since they haven’t received security updates for some time.

        Yeah, no security updates is a pity. I wish GrapheneOS would have extended support for older devices, but I guess it’s a pain to maintain for them as well.
