Is anyone here still using a Pixel 3?

Google Pixel 8a renders have hit the web, showing the design again as well as revealing the size of the budget device.

My screen off average keeps falling. I'm regularly seeing sub 1.5%/h since updating my #Pixel 6 Pro to #Android 14.

It's sitting at 1.8%/h at the moment:

The app is a valuable accessibility function, designed to make small, dimly lit or distant text easier to read.

• Google has promised seven years of OS upgrades, security updates, and feature drops for its new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
• Despite the same hardware, Pixel 8 is missing features exclusive to Pixel 8 Pro, raising questions about Google's long-term commitment to parity among devices.
• Google spokesperson Matthew Flegal stated that not all updates will be available for every phone, without specifying the limitations.
• One feature exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro, Video Boost, is cloud-based, indicating that the exclusivity is economically motivated, not hardware-limited.
• Author questions the true value of Google's seven-year promise and argues that Android OS versions are becoming less significant as updates occur independently.

Just wondering if someone would like to share their experience so far with the new Android 14 update for Pixel 7?

How has the battery life and performance been so far and have you noticed any bugs?
