ElioX, 29 Aug 2021When will there be a review of this phone? Phones received ... moreI've never owned a premium range phone, Always midrangers since my first android phone: a Samsung S3 mini. So I've experienced firsthand the change from almost awful differences between the midrangers and the premium ones to finally something more decent like the LG G2 mini. Then a Samsung A7 2017 (still the best screen and the only "premium midranger" I've had). My first pixel was the 3a and despite the fact that I got hooked to the camera, it was always frustrating the lack of expandable storage and many glitches and bugs in the software. Now I'm writing from my new 5a and I can say it's the smoothest software experience I've ever had. It's a little heavier than the 3a and just a few milimmiters bigger so it's the first time that a change of phone doesn't imply a long curve of adaptation of the hand. It feels almost like I just added a case that is a little thicker and heavier. I still miss the option to add a micro SD card but I'm pretty happy with the speed, the screen, the stereo sound (a big improvement compared to the 3a whose speakers are weak) plus I really love to have dust and water resistance again! I missed that feature when I changed the Samsung for the 3a. I'll give the 3a to my mother since she is more of a basic user and 64 gb will be Ok for her for a while

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2021Does it comes with a pre-installed screen protector?No. But it has gorilla glass 3 which has good scratches resistance. Still you can apply one for extra protection

But XIAOMI is also a GREAT BRAND like GOOGLE. I am the fan of both. GOOGLE surprises us with Great Hardware & Great Software while XIAOMI surprises us with Great Hardware & Great Software(u may find some glitches in the software) at reasonable prices. Both are great.

Why does the Stats say that the 5a-5G doesn't have a SIM slot when in fact it does? At least the one in my hand does.

All phones that use GG6 has already shown scratches developing. Google is charging a premium because you get stock android experience with quality updates despite using GG3 which is cheaper. Don't be fooled by those chinese xiaomi smartphones, they are cheap for a reason, don't expect the operating system to be as stable as the google pixel's.

OnePlus UI is fine and one of the few Chinese brands that occasionally has the correct band assortment(depending on the model) because they do sell here. I wasn't trying to sound like a spokesman, but mainstream US phone buyers don't look at spec sheets and care more about the software. They aren't installing custom skins and modifying their devices heavily like enthusiasts.

Charging a premium for victus is the manufacturer's way of cheaping out with a thinner glass mixed with plastic that scratches easily and advertising it as "drop resistance"

If you will root it and flash custom firmware/ROMs, then hardware is the way to go. But even with that, if the drivers for the hardware mentioned are not publicly available, you will not get android development support on that case. And also you need a developer working on your device (in case you are not a maintainer yourself)

This gens tossup is between this and the realme gt master,this will clearly have major software advantages but the realme has the major hardware advantage. Both have headphone jacks and are Overall good value

Anonymous, 31 Aug 2021Dont understand why not coming to Asia Oceana???? There are even more demanding regions (like Europe) that are omitted. Probably has something to do with chipset scarcity. We'll see whether there will be a future update.
