Is pixel 4a too old for a new phone? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I'm currently using. The one we can't talk about... He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I'm afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What's your opinion?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

What's the OS we can't talk about?

To be more helpful than the joke comments you've received so far, it's graphene OS that's causing a lot of controversy.

What's the controversy?

I'm honestly not quite sure, I just know people are getting riled up when it's mentioned.

It gets people going, (Daniel) 'Mkay?

I stole this from another lemmy comment, please don't come after me

Who's comment was that 😂

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Can't really remember right now. I think it was a thread on which phone to buy and people were talking about graphene os on pixels.

Someone commented something along the lines of "m'lady" but with Daniel Micay's name as a pun
