I do agree with In Depth Tech Reviews' overall sentiment as a pixel 7 pro user. Personally, I have different gripes for it.

My Pixel 4a 3 years later: I love it, and I'm not disappointed

I considered buying the P3 or P4 because they're said to have the best cameras and battery performance, but the end of security updates after 2022 and 2023 respectively turned me off and I got a P6A instead. What are you going to do with your P4A after the support for it ends this year?

Probably switch to LineageOS like I did on all my Nexus phones.

Wow, I didn't know that LineageOS has such long-term support! The original Pixel is still supported?! I'm using GrapheneOS and they offer support for the same lifetime as the official Google updates, so I assumed that the rest of the alternative OSes are the same.

Yes as long as somebody is out there to make a device port. I just checked the page for the 2016 Pixel (aka the sailfish) and it looks like it's still being maintained https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sailfish/
