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.

I went from the 3a to the 7a. The 3a was a nicer phone. I miss the fingerprint scanner on the back

I will bitch about the under screen fingerprint reader every chance I get. It was literally perfect on the back. The P6 was borderline unusable, the P7 reader sucked, and now the P8 is finally almost ok.

Plus headphone jack

I get you. I can't get the fingerprint reader on my new Pixel to work after adding a screen protector.
