pixel 7 pro on deck

6a here. I'd probably still be rocking my pixel 2 if it were for the 3G shutdown.

Same here, and I'm not sure what I'll go to next - the USB port has gotten flakey.

I want to try a Linux phone, but hardware seems to be made of unobtainium, and the software seems like it's not quite there yet.

Part of me is tempted to just get another pixel 7 Pro on swappa.
