Google’s Fan-Favorite Pixel 5a Gets Its Final Update
Nov. 14, 2024Thankfully, replying to his post, Redditor @justarandomkitten dug a little deeper into some “open-sourced parts of the update,” and gave us a quick rundown of the changes. Turns out, alongside the November security patch, the update brings a couple of bug fixes and improvements to the stability of the Android 14-running phone. However, going by the list that he shared, there’s nothing major here.
What makes it important is how nostalgia is woven into these older Pixel phones, and seeing them reach their end of life just hurts. Powered by theSnapdragon 765G, packing a 4,680mAh battery unit, and the largest 6.36-inch screen on a Pixel a-series phone, the 5a is a spectacular device. So, I am glad Google pushed out this one final update as a warm goodbye to this fan-favorite phone.
This isn’t the first time Google is seen pushing out such ‘goodbye’ updates to its beloved Pixels. For example, last year, the Pixel 4a received one such patch as its last update. Something similar also happened with the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL too.
With that said, have you ever owned a Pixel 5a? If so, drop your best memories with it as a tribute in the comments down below!
