No headphone jack
No memory card slot
No ir blaster

Why are they making it a useless device??

My phone is a 2021 model and still has a 3.5mm jack and a memory card slot.

I love that my pixel 4a has a headphone jack. I'm overdue for an upgrade but I know I'm going to lose my fingerprint sensor and jack. Yeah it's a security risk but this phone still works and performs well. I hate stupid planned obsolescence. I wished tech was more about stability and long life. But I guess that doesn't make enough billions in revenue.

Those have any long lasting issues? My old 5a had the motherboard go. Trying to find a suitable replacement. Going back a generation wouldn't be terrible if it's reliable.

No idea. I got this used about 3 years ago. Never had to search for solutions to problems so I don't know if they have any common issues.

Given the issues with some of the newer pixels I wished Google would've left well enough alone with the fingerprint sensor :)
