Craddan, 15 Apr 2024So your phone does not heat up in normal use?Normal heating (I would say warming up) under certain conditions like heavy use or operating the phone during high temperature weather. Nothing alarming and just like any other phone.

        I saw no difference on pixel 6a and 7a camera. You can't utilize the 64mp anyway. And performance wise same as pixel 6a. Only difference is 2gb ram more and wireless charging which both to me don't matter. No need to upgrade from pixel 6a to pixel 7a. Just wait for pixel 8a instead. It's not worth the jump.

                    It has a terrible battery life ...

                      The battery cycle info has gone after the March update.. 😕 and I am facing camera flaring issue . Do they give updates to Remove features or what ????!!

                        For anyone who has a carrier-locked Pixel 6a: you will be able to unlock the bootloader after getting it unlocked (unless it's a Verizon model). Just installed LineageOS on my T-Mobile model.

                          It is ok now after lady update.. lots of sudden heating before, screen freeze... still some issues... esim works good now also

                            I just downloaded the March 5th update (669 MB) for my Pixel 6a in the Czech Republic (Vodafone). Looks like they fixed some of the lag when writing a message. The system update card also looks different now. There should be also some camera settings improvement. For now, the phone runs better than ever.

                              Minu, 29 Feb 2024You seem to have not understood my point. Sure, there'... moreTotally agree. I own this Pixel 6a for the last couple of months and it is by far the best phone I've ever had. I can imagine living with this phone for next 10 years. I don't need faster phone or phone with more functions, better camera etc. This has it all. For other things like movie making or really good photos I have separate cameras that are a lot better than any other phone on the market. So for me the most important thing is security, newest software and the overall support from the manufacturer. Why change it if it works? I rather spend money on a skiing vacation than on a newest iPhone.

                                Just to mention that last update (March) improve fingerprint sensor accuracy a lot.

Small improvements increment and make a huge difference even for the average user. Image quality, screen viewing comfort, time saving from faster speeds and better interface design, better ergonomics through gestured navigation, practical enhancements from new technologies, even life saving stuff like crash detection on pixels and iphones. All that stuff really does make a difference my man. I agree on the high costs and inexcusable short support periods. Personally, I use pixels for the regular security updates and long support. I understand not everyone cares about it, but each has their reasons, and there are many legit reasons out there.

Sure, there's AI, ever-increasing set of specifications with newer Android versions, better processing, improved security with scheduled patches and anything you can name of in upcoming mobile phones. Does anybody buy a phone considering all of the latest functions? Most probably not, as long as their basics are covered. We're in this day and age, where every phone is none other than an ODM-based tall-screened slab with a stark contrast in prices for different communities and nothing else.

                                    No matter how much you move with technology, most people would simply use a mobile phone for the same set of requirements. What's more hilarious is that there are people with disposable income, that barely use their expensive mobile phone outside the common functions, whereas there are those, who are strapped for cash with many expectations, and usually left with low ends or minimal choices for their budget.

                                    I'm not convincing anybody to disregard newer technology or spread hate in the form of ignorance, all the latest features aren't essential for the average user. If you think they're essential, follow your heart and dispose your own cash on any mobile phone you wish to purchase. Simple as that 👍

Software has done leaps ahead in the past years, if you actually tried Android 13 you would see that actually A LOT has changed since Android 9 you're using. I could list 100 things that really make a difference in using a phone but you'd still say you don't care, in that case, a monochrome Nokia with snake is the same thing, use that until 2050.

                                        Getting a new mobile phone within a period of 6-7 years is pointless, to begin with.
