152mm tall is larger than the Pixel 4a. Not. Compact.

Honestly I wish Kagi would build their own full Firefox fork and maintain it independently. I already pay for search, I wouldn’t mind paying for my browser if it actually respected me!

Just a nitpick, while ‘brighter’ belongs in objective Pros (as long as the minimum brightness is as dark or even darker than the last gen), ‘bigger’ isn’t a Pro. People have different size preferences and we have spiralled so far beyond the smaller end of size preferences we’re actually getting into ‘too big for anyone’ screens if we go much larger.

FFS, reduce the bezel and keep the screen the same damn size. I know some people love big screens but it is hardly 100% of customers.

Recently switched from a 4a (literally what you just described – it even actually has an aux port) to an iPhone 13 Mini.

The Mini is a better size. Better build. Better standby battery life. Better performance from the A15. No fingerprint unlock is a loss, but FaceID is… fine.

I would kill for another Mini.

GrapheneOS kills support when Google kills security updates, I believe. Source: my Pixel 4a came out in 2020, and Graphene already strongly recommends against using it and dropped updates entirely a few months ago.

Lineage and Pixel Experience ROMs are better at long-term support. But any custom ROM on older non-officially-supported phones is vulnerable to firmware exploits, since those fixes are typically distributed as binaries by the hardware manufacturer (Qualcomm etc). So I understand why Graphene drops support so quick, since they want all Graphene users to benefit from strong security practices.
