I still can't get onto reddit to read more than a few posts, if I'm lucky I can make one post before it freezes

I'm thinking about maybe upgrading my phone. I have a Google Pixel 3, and it's fine, just the battery dies quicker. Also the back glass on it is smashed a bit. But I'm just wondering if I should upgrade either to the 6 or 7. Or am I just thinking I need the "newest best thing". But also Google has (stupidly imho) stopped support for the Google Pixel 3. So if I at least buy a 6 or 7 I've got a few more years of support.

how long have you had the 3? the model is 4 years old now, so IF you had it from new and its served you that long I'd be inclined to go the latest model you can get in the hopes of replicating the longevity. With that said the Pixel A is usually just as gooder phone, if not better than the OG. Personally though, I'm apple after the whole "Android letting Facebook steal my wifes fertility data" fiasco.

If you're fine fiddling around with custom ROMs, then you can squeeze more years out of any existing phone. OnePlus, Samsung and Pixel being the easiest. OnePlus because of support, Samsung because of popularity and Pixel because it's the closest to "pure". Otherwise Motorola or Sony have the least bloatware after Google.

You could save some cash and get a refurbished 5, 6 or 7? Check out reebelo or phonebot. They get refurbed pixels through quite regularly. I had a 4A up until recently. It was a great phone, I much prefer it over this Motorola.

I've got a pixel 5 that I like. The 6 has a weird protruding camera area that I don't like the look of.

Anyone having some trouble logging in this morning? I had to click the login button about 10 times for it to take.
