I am getting this after I am sick of my broken pixel 7a.

I do wish they provide better software update though, Android 15 is two versions behind current version :( .

Ships with 16.
17 only just released.
And they promise software support through 2033. Though that's a vague term, not sure about full version updates.

With the direction in which Android is developing, I don't think you'd be missing out on a whole lot of worthwhile features. I'd rather have a steady stream of security patches on a version that is not yet EOL.
