I bought my FP3 at release in September 2019, while it does overheat from time to time and I'm on my 3rd battery (kinda the point of it), I'm very happy with the purchase overall, when it dies I'll move on to the FP4 or 5 if it is released.

TBH, I was also surprised to see support for Android 13 was out

First one came DoA so it got replaced by warranty, the second one became a spicy pillow less than a year ago

Going through a battery each year doesn't really sound like the point of it though? That's a lot of excess waste. I use my Pixel 4a for about 2 years now and the battery is still good.
