Wholeheartedly agree — I’ve owned a pixel one for the entire lifecycle of the phone. The problem with the pixel one right now is that they no longer get security updates — any tips with regard to that?

These guys[1] still publish updates of the AOSP code including security updates. So you would just miss firmware updates.

Thanks, that’s amazing. I have some fondness to the phone as I swapped out the screen two times, finger reader and battery. Manual updates will just be another thing I do to keep the adventure going :)
