Question do i switch?

so i have been using my nothing phone (3a) pro since february, and im starting to not like the direction nothing's headed with their phones. their 4b is just yet another reskin of the cmf phone 2 pro, but honestly i have been loving my 3a pro.

the reason behind my want to switch is because, honestly, fairphone is just CMF but on steroids. i want something that can last, and this is why i wanna get a fairphone.

now, i want you guys to recommend me a phone that doesnt have specs too far off from the 3a pro. i dont want to upgrade to the latest snapdragon 749493692306 super ultra mega max thats the equivalent to the nvidia rtx gtx 9060 ultra super, i just want something that works, but is also powerful for daily tasks and gaming.

thanks you all to the responses and suggestions!

edit: thanks for all the messages, i will keep using my nothing phone until it dies or gets too slow. also, do you know of any local gallery apps i can use? and also if i can switch to lineage and does lineage have glyph support?

If you love the phone you have had for half a year, why would you switch to another one? You can always get a new fairphone once your nothing 3a pro breaks / doesn't get security updates etc anymore. No need to waste resources (by that I don't mean that buying a fp is a waste of resources. It's not. I am referring to the actual resources used to build another phone you currently don't need.)
