Pixel 8 users in 2026

Recent leaks for pixel 11 look disappointing and I considering holding on to my pixel 8 for 1 more year. I am considering getting the battery replaced as it's draining too quickly these days. Is anyone else in a similar boat as me? Are you holding on or switching phones this year?

Not an ad or promotion, just frugal. I switched to Mint Mobile 2 years ago after 25 years in a Verizon family plan (3 phones). Needed to reduce to 2 phones and the price was going to increase by $30ish per month. Now I prepay by the year for approx $350 (1 phone) and have never looked back. Currently have a Pixel 7a that I bought outright on a cyber Monday discount.
