I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I’ve left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works.

Since then, I’ve also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won’t turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix.

To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

    My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

      I’m keeping my almost 4 year old note 20 ultra for as long as possible. I’m super bitter about phones no longer having a micro sd card slot.
