4a 5g here. No idea. I want a mid level phone with a headphone jack that isn't filled with bloatware. Apparently that's hard to find these days

None. Custom roms will save your ass.
I had a 3a XL, but I just had a zenfone 10 arrive.
fantastic device and it's so refreshing to be able to use it with one hand.
Since it sounds like you like the Pixels, probably wait for the 8 or 8a. The 4A will last for a while yet, unless there's a really serious security hole that is discovered in the next few months.
None! Using calyxos and getting updates for now. Next phone would ne either a second-hand pixel Xa or a fairphone
Those aren't proper updates though, it's better than the stick rom rn, but you should replace it as soon as possible
My bootloader is locked out so I can't load any custom roms unfortunately. Probably gonna get a Pixel 7 straight from google and load grapheneos onto it.
Since it sounds like you like the Pixels, probably wait for the 8 or 8a. The 4A should still be good till then, unless there's a really serious security hole that is discovered in the next few months.
I wanna check out the 8 or wait for the 8a. For me the size of the 4a is perfect. I want the replacement to be as handy.
Dude, it was the perfect size. I went from it to a 7a. I have large hands and this thing is too big.
