I'll share my experience thus far with my Pixel 6a after about one year. Purchased directly on the Google store. First Google customer support is 0/10 they have not even replied back to me about a very common issue OVERHEATING, which many of you have complained about. The phone gets extremely hot even when using it as a Wi-Fi hotspot (no joke there). Battery life is not great, below average for sure 4/10. Cameras are great for the price paid 8/10, zoom is not good. I bought it for the stock software experience but with the horrible customer support I will be buying an alternate brand next time. Maybe One+ 12R got a good review on GSMarena.

It will be 2 years soon, that I am using this wonderful phone.
Simple and straightforward. No nonsense.
This is my personal phone and I am not changing it soon. At least not till Pixel 10 series is launched, if Google continues with Pixel Lineup.

the phone does not support basic feature carrier video call and gets extreme hot during whatsapp or orther app video call. it also lacks very basic features which should have been there for sure.

But still I always carry a little cash on me for those small purchases. Lot's of shops do accept it because they don't want to give a monopoly to likes of visa and mastercard and ever rising fees.
What I don't understand and I get that a decent camera on a phone is super convenient, but for snaps why you wouldn't just buy canon powershot or a modern compact camera with bluetooth/wifi direct so that you can share those images on social media but they will be sharper as well.

Does anyone encounter hotspot issue? Whenever i turn on hotspot, the network goes crazy and unusable. My other Pixel phones are ok, only Pixel 6a has this issue and it's 100% not network/telco operator issues as i have tested it on other devices.

Minu, 29 Feb 2024You seem to have not understood my point. Sure, there'... more"No matter how much you move with technology, most people would simply use a mobile phone for the same set of requirements."
Agree with your whole post but let me say something about this quoted part..
As I like to travel a lot with my family and kids I have a high respect for phones with a good camera set ups. So I must say even I use my phone (almost) the same way I did in 2017. results with more modern phones are vastly better in camera department then let's say phones 2 or 3 years ago let alone 5, 6 or more. Camera is the single most important thing for me on a phone.
Pixel's and Xperia's are in my peak interest when I'm getting ready to buy my next phone which once when I was younger was every year or so and lately I tend to have it for longer with special focus on what's going on with mobile camera department.
I'm using Pixel 7 and Xperia 1 V which are very different but they both have their advantages and I like using them in different situations. Before those I had OnePlus 7 Pro which looked future proof with its design and specs sheet numbers but camera wasn't so good. In fact it was barely usable specially if you wanted to record a video. Difference between that phone and these I have today is just too big to ignore. Other then that camera thingy, OnePlus 7 Pro still works like a charm and still looks modern and fresh. If I wouldn't be so much in search for a good phone camera I would probably think like you and never bother to change my phone even if it's in 6-7 years of use. For emails, socials and the basics phone calls even the most basic entry level phones of today are good enough for average Joe.
And btw.. a lot of people is using a phone for banking today and for them your Nokia 8 would be practically unusable. I understand your point of view, but I don't think many people is using cash in this era. Generally obly elder and cyber paranoid people stayed on their ATM's solutions instead of more practical and modern one. Fair enough. Everyone has a right to spend their money how they like. It all depends on us and what kind of users are we right?
Anyways, I wish you a many more happy years with using your HMD Global phone. The home of Nokia phones :)
