i used to buy a new one every 2 years or so,but after switching to pixel 6 and graphene os, I think I will replace it once it's no longer supported.

Hey, exact same boat that I'm in, except with a pixel 6a running GrapheneOS
You'll have to prise my 4a 5G out of my cold dead hands...
Meanwhile, here I am with a Galaxy S8 from 2017, doing just fine. Only bad thing is some stuff burned into the screen from overuse of some apps in the past coughs reddit coughs.

my XR is still going strong. unless the quality starts decreasing dramatically, I see no reason to upgrade just yet
The 2 years life span had a ridiculous affect on the 2nd market that, now will never be the same.
I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.
4 years? How cute.
