My wife's pixel 3a became so slow to the point of being useless. I tried to restore it but it was still very slow. It started happening after a software update after the pixel 5 came out ๐คท
I've got an old Thinkpad that works great. I'm guessing if I ever connect it to the Internet again it'll mysteriously brick
I, and a friend of mine also experienced this. I believe it started after the "final" update, but there's no way to know. Needless to say i wont ever buy, or recommend, a google device ever again.

I wish I thought of this before getting rid of the phone...
While not quite the same device, my Pixel 4a didn't have that problem
Same here
Custom ROMs on the 3a still perform quite well. There is also a WIP mainline Linux port for the 3a that will hopefully extend the life of it for many more years to come.
