This is a bummer to hear since I have the 4A and it's out of support. (Google support terms suck, especially since the phone is still going strong.) I was going to buy a used 6 or 7--but that sounds like not a super-great plan. Or maybe... GrapheneOS?
I can't speak to GrapheneOS since I've never tried it.
I will say that my son has the 6a, and I don't recall him complaining about it. My wife had the 6 from when it came out until the 7 came out and we traded that thing in as fast as we could because of the issues, but the 7 ended up doing the same things.
I'm still rocking my S21+ from 2ish years ago and it's going strong. I hate the bloat, but it wasn't as bad as I heard Samsung can be. I couldn't tell you anything about the S22 or S23 generations.
It just seems like smartphone innovation has become stagnant. I'm hoping for the new fairphone due to the repairability. I dont want to buy the fairphone 4 due to it being over 2 years old already. I've found that I don't need some beefy top of the line phone for what I use phones for. In fact, it seems like phones are having issues being actual phones now. In the past year, just trying to make calls has been horrible. I can't believe how bad it's gotten. I have so many dropped calls or poor reception, but my phone will show 4+ bars with 5G and will still stream music and do GPS navigation without issue. But make a phone call, nope, the primary function it's supposed to have, it just says fuck you.
