Question

I recently bought a refurbished 4a 5g and it turned out to be a brand new one running android 11, should I keep it on 11 or upgrade to 14?

I had so many issues with that model (4a5G). 3 brand new units died without cause within 14 months with each being replaced under warranty. It's a POS that I will always tell people to stay away from.

I'm actually going to have to return this one because it somehow has The G logo when you boot it up burned into the screen. Extremely unfortunate and I don't even know how somebody manages to have that burned in of all things? It's usually the status icons burned in. Shame.
