Uh we are currently on Google Pixel 9.
Google Pixel 4 is kind of old. I am unfortunately a victim of the 4a battery.
My solution after 3 years was upgrade to pixel 5a, which was a free upgrade because I had that Google Fi bonus. Google 7 was out, but I didn’t care.
I mean I’m glad they’re still head accountable. But this is like finally giving people who hated Windows 7 a coupon?
