Are the newer ones not as good? My partner is considering upgrading as he slightly broke the charging port in his (constantly using broken chargers and wiggly them to make it work 🤦‍♀️) but I want to keep mine for at least a bit longer. I've never had a smartphone for 5 years and it's a goal of mine lol. It'd be a shame if an upgrade has a less impressive camera.

You already have a pixel so this won't be a shocking suggestion, but I've had a Pixel 3 since it came out (2019ish?) And with a screen protector/thin case, I've never had any issues with the cracks or scratches, the battery is still really good and I love the camera. Works just as well as when I got it. I don't think a smart phone can actually be bifl but pixels are as close as you can get in my experience
