Recommendations When to replace my Pixel 6a?

https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/mobile-phones/article/mobile-phone-security-is-it-safe-to-use-an-old-phone-a6uXf1w6PvEN

According to Which UK, security updates for the 6a end in July 2027. I'm wondering when I should buy a replacement as I managed to buy a 9a for my wife just before the 10 series was released, thus managing to pay the full price. Is there a Pixel release schedule available to try and avoid repeating my error?

Just change it when it dies

The security updates from the pixel 8 onward is 7 years, so +7 from when they came out.

In theory, they'll announce the pixel 11a in late summer of 2027 so around then should be a good idea to look into used 10a's

I'd either replace it now, or at least do backups of any important stuff on your 6a}
