Google is consistent if nothing else.

Google sent me a pretty aggressive ad for the 10a, hoping me to trade in my 8a for a price higher than I paid for it back then. It also features a nice deal for Google Fi, which is something I've been tempted to do anyways.

But...8a does everything I need it for, and I can't in good conscious trade it in for unnecessary e-waste. The complete side-grade made it even less tempting.

I guess I can wait for 11a.

I, might have gotten that email too.

However, I'm currently using my Pixel 6 and it's still quite serviceable thus far. Only issue is being in use for 3 years, the battery life has taken a noticeable hit. However, nothing charging the night before, and/or bringing an external battery bank/pack, wouldn't alleviate.

EDIT: Also, storage is getting tight. 128 GB doesn't go as far these days as it used to
