Turns out Australia is removing 3G support nationwide and that means I have to upgrade. I've had my phone for at least 4 years but it runs well, I wasn't planning on upgrading for at least another year.

I want to keep using it, but I'm not too tech oriented so my thinking has been, " I can play music with it, some games, videos"...And that's fine. But perhaps some of you guys have more creative ideas? Curious as to what would you recommend.

I use a Pixel ~~6a~~ 4a I had laying around as a dedicated Discord device, paired with a bluetooth headset. Now I can chat with the lads while around the house doing chores.

Haha, brilliant. I'm still running my 5a, so that sounds kinda crazy to me.

Oops, I mean 4a, sorry.

What have you replaced it with? I still have my 4a and kind of dread the day i will have to replace it.

I went with the 7a, because the form factor isn't too much larger and it has wireless charging. And of course, it can be flashed with GrapheneOS.
