My least favorite thing is it is getting old and I can't find a good equivalent to the Pixel 4a to replace it with. They are all too big, have no headphone jack, and are too expensive for what I get out of them.

Zenfone 9? Pixel 5a? About the only remotely close options I found out there. I went with the 5a, but it's getting close to end of life, so I'm debating the slightly newer zenfone 9 now...

I did look at the Zenfone 9 actually and my biggest issue was the locked bootloader and no custom rom support. It may not be a total deal breaker, but it was enough to give me pause. The 5a would be great if it wasn't nearly as old as the 4a. I would still be considering Pixels if they hadn't ruined the "a" line.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. I got a "new" phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn't try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won't be disappointed.

LOS is fine, though I haven't used it in a while. I may just try and get a new battery in my 4a as the screen is still perfect and all the ports work fine. Still after using this phone for four years, I'd love an upgrade.
