Well, the battery on my Nexus 5X is so worn out that it only lasts about two hours. I'm looking to get a new phone (I.E. no battery wear) which has similar features with regards to having an unlockable bootloader and 3rd party firmware. I'm also very open to the idea of something running an alternate OS entirely (like PureOS, but the Librem 5 is too expensive).
Just wanted to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
The Pixel 4a is an absolutely fantastic phone at a "I don't have to go into medical debt levels of debt to buy one" price. Especially if you liked your Nexus. And Pixels run stock android, have great support, and lots of community support as well so they're easy to unlock and do whatever you want with.
