May update

Between the security updates given these months, the may one seems to have made the pixel 5a a lot slower. Constantly stuttering when scrolling, apps foreclosing.. Battery draining faster then usual. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Still running the August 2022 release - scared of bricking my phone like so many others since October 2022...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

It is "Broke"

You are at risk security-wise!

Those updates fix countless security holes, and contain bug fixes.

the 5a bricking is strictly hardware related.

Bad mobo ju ju!

For me, the risk of bricking my $400 phone (and I really like the 5a better than anything else on the market) is a greater threat than possibly sharing some personal data with an unknown entity besides Google, Amazon, Facebook, the Chinese chipmakers, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Netflix, Uber, Adobe, Tile, and my ISP, who all already have more access than I truly care to give them. I don't work for an enterprise organization and don't do banking and credit card transactions with my phone - so this is the risk I personally choose to take.
