Hi all,

I’ve had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they’d used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it’s worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.

I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.

Any thoughts or insights? I’m far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I’d appreciate anything you have to say.

Thanks!

    It fits in my pocket alright, but it’s a solid half inch taller, quarter inch wider, and somewhat thicker/heavier

      Google would give me a whopping $35 for my 3a if I traded it in for the 7… I think I’m just going to replace the 3a battery ;) Thanks for the info!
