I use a pixel 4A 5G right now, and it's the perfect size for me, I was planning on upgrading to the nothing phone 2, but it's very big for my hands, any phones similar to the 4a 5G?

I guess maybe because the guaranteed updates for the Pixel 4a will end in November 2023? That's a good question though, maybe OP should try to give it a second life with something like GrapheneOS first if the phone is in good condition.

I've read grapheneos' supported devices page, it explicitly says that the updates after the phone stops getting support are to reduce the harm of no longer having a phone with security updates, not actual updates

which is of course still better than having no updates at all

And of course is still a security liability

I haven't updated my phone since I got it, never found a reason to
