My pixel 7 that I currently have will probably be my last $1000 phone, there's no need to upgrade anymore.
My pixel 4a is still fine. I'll want 5G at some point but the coverage isn't there for me to worry about it yet. I don't think there's anything else in the pipeline that I'll care about.
Literally the only reason I'm not still using the 5G variant of the 4a is because I dropped it in a grocery store and rolled an IRL nat 1 (it landed on its corner, went windmilling on the rebound, and struck the edge of a metal shelf in the exact top center of the phone, severing a cable and killing the display AND touch screen). I swapped back to my OG pixel, and the only reason I'm even considering am upgrade now is because its battery is literally starting to die.
I've found I can just wait a couple years and buy them used at a serious discount.
Way better than buying a brand new midrange
