Hi,

A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I'm currently using. The one we can't talk about... He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I'm afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What's your opinion?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

The only "new" compact phones I know are iPhone Mini and some Asus Zenphone. Neither have custom ROM support afaik and both don't seem to be in production anymore. Medium size phones (6-6.4 inches) are not compacts.

The Jelly Star is even smaller and released last year. Not that I would recommend it to anyone concerned with updates or custom ROM support, because it probably won't get any lol
