The 5-inch format seems interesting, curious to see what other people think

The 4000 mAh battery is probably a contributing factor. I'd probably buy this with a smaller battery, assuming the bootloader is easily unlockable.

Wait... there's no headphone jack? Alright, keeping my Pixel 4a for another year.

I wish mine hadn't died on me a couple years ago. The newer a models are so much bigger.

What killed it?

There was some sort of problem which caused the touch sensors to just go haywire. It was years ago now. The phone didn't last terribly long for me.

It started bugging out in, initially, unpredictable ways. It would open and close apps almost at random, as well as interact with them, but only while or right after you were touching the screen. Sometimes it would freeze. Of course I restored the thing to factory settings, but it didn't make a difference. It was unusable.
