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.

joe nodden, 01 Sep 2021Lmao you say "Google's Pixel experience" lik... moreOneplus is no longer same. It is already becoming a chinese brand phone with its changing ui and telemetry. You have now Nokia (which blocks everything like iphone) and google devices as stock android experience. The difference is google gives you Pixel experience (google it to know more).

For years (up until they became a terrible company) OnePlus' OxygenOS was way better than any stock Pixel. And I'm no skin analyzer so I can't give examples but I'd imagine they aren't the only ones.

Upgrading From Pixel 2
My experience with the Pixel 2 was so good that I decided that I was never going to deviate from stock Android. That being said, I don't feel that it's fair for me to give gripes and accolades just yet; seems like it's too soon.
I will say, as somebody who is not a complete idiot when it comes to phones, I have a good idea of what's good, and what is hot garbage. The Pixel 5A hasn't blown my mind, but it's a veritable upgrade from my 3 year old Pixel 2.
So far, battery life, screen brightness, max volume, and the cameras are a huge win for me, personally.
If you're coming from a much more recent phone, I could understand the pissing and moaning, but for what it is versus a phone that is 3+ generations older, it's an enormous upgrade in all the right departments.
Some people say that Samsung has a better phone at this price point, but screw em; stock Android is king.

joe nodden, 31 Aug 2021Horrible phone. Why would Google release something this awful. A lot of people commenting purely on hardware specs and then state "well, this Chinese model XYZ has far better specs for the price" which is true. But, the 5a is being released only in the US and Japan. Unlike those cheap Chinese phones and cheaper Samsung models, the 5a supports all the necessary bands for US. For example, almost none of them support B13 for Verizon in the US which is practically required for coverage area.
In addition to Google's Pixel experience, you have to judge it based on the market it's for. The US has the largest number of possible LTE/NR bands to support which the 5a does and the cheap alternatives don't. The only ones it's missing is mmWave support.

No reason to put sd888 if it can function at 70% of its power. This phone delivers what it IS MADE FOR. This is THE BEST a midrange phone can get on Android.
Customers always want more. You put sd778 they ask for 888. You pit that,they ask for 888+. You put ipx5 they ask for ip67. You put 67 they ask for ip68. You pit that they ask for mil-std.
There is no end for what customers think as of "should". Lately what I observe is people CREATE needs and DEMAND the cheapest way to solve it...
