Yup, I'd prefer a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone than what we have today

I've been reluctant to give up my 4a because of the rear fingerprint sensor. Now that we've hit October, I'm trying to figure out what to do.

October? Is that a reference to OS updates?

Go Lineage, Pixels are super easy to update. And then root, so you can run Kernel Adiutor and make it really fast while still having better battery life.

I have a 2018 phone that people think is new because of Lineage and KA.

Several Pixels are hitting EOL right now. The 4a received its last update in August. The 5 loses support in 2 days. The 4a 5G loses support next month.
