That would be a hilariously bad downgrade. I could probably afford to replace mine with a Google Pixel 6, but that would still be a significant downgrade (90Hz screen). After having two phones at 120Hz, I won't go lower.

They have the Google Pixel 8 which has a 120Hz refresh rate, if you can afford it.

I am sure it's great, but I don't want to spend that much on a phone. Honestly I think I will just keep my current phone for a couple more years, then buy something.

Also I don't really want to lose access to my banking apps.

The Pixel 9 will come out in October, and the Pixel 8 will get much cheaper. Also there will be many used Pixel 8's that will get sold for relatively cheap. These things aren't like iPhones, they lose their value on the used market very quickly.

I've never owned an iPhone, so that comparison isn't needed.

Just mentioned iPhones, because they tend to keep their value on the used market for a pretty long time. This is definitely not the case for most Android phones, including Pixels.
