I'd get the Nord 4, if prices are close (~ $ 20 difference).

Just swapped to this after being disappointed by the a55. It is 95% a pixel 8 really. You get more bezels, slower charging speeds and a different camera. The G3 is better than the exynos in everyway. For example, I would have spotify take up to 6 seconds to skip a song when using the a55, instantly on the 8a. Pokemon GO is another one that plays janky on the a55 but flawlessly on the 8a.
There are countless examples, but basically it is a slightly worse 8 but you wouldn't be able to tell unless you had them side by side and were directly comparing each individual function, that never really plays into day to day usage.

Only good things about this phone is it's small size, and long period of updates. Everything else kinda sucks. 😭

Anonymous, 21 Aug 2024Wait for Galaxy A56.Edit: assuming hes in USA no point on waiting on a56 because we won't see anything moving foward since a54 launch. That's because a35 are same as a5+ series.

Anonymous, 19 Aug 2024wait for pixel 9If you care about updates than 8a. If you care about exclusive features s24 is your bet. As pixel exclusive feature eventually comes to everyone long the road. So owning a pixel isn't a reason to get exclusives

Sundars lapdog, 22 Aug 2024Really nice device. I like AI Wallpapers, as you don't... moreLater down thr road eventually AI wallpaper will come to older pixel id say. Just how magic eraser was only available to some pixel and its now available to everyone outside pixels. That's a reason I don't own a pixel anymore. The features exclusive will come to everyone in a long rum making pixel useless to own.

Really nice device. I like AI Wallpapers, as you don't get them in 7a.
Curious to see if there will be a succesor within 9 series lineup.

Anonymous, 15 Aug 2024Very interesting! What have Pixel phone more than a normal ... moreThat's one of the main reasons why GrapheneOS only works on Pixel devices, because Google cares about security in their phones.
If only they cared about privacy in the same way…

Anonymous, 15 Aug 2024Very interesting! What have Pixel phone more than a normal ... moreI believe most SoCs have a security co-processor. Samsung has Knox Vault. I think Qualcomm also has something similar. Wouldn't consider that a deal breaker, to be honest.

Very interesting! What have Pixel phone more than a normal Smart phone!
The Google Pixel 8a features the Titan M2 security chip, a dedicated security co-processor designed specifically for Pixel smartphones. This chip plays a crucial role in enhancing the device’s overall security.
Key Functions:
Bootloader Validation: The Titan M2 communicates with the bootloader to verify that the device is running the latest known version of Android, preventing potential attacks by rolling back the operating system.
Decryption Key Storage: The chip stores decryption keys, ensuring that even if an attacker attempts to tamper with the operating system, the Titan M2 will limit the number of attempts and only reveal the keys if the correct pattern or PIN is entered.
Secure Storage: The Titan M2 supports Android StrongBox, a safe storage space for cryptographic keys used by third-party apps.
FIDO Authentication: The chip supports the universal FIDO authentication standard, enabling the Pixel 8a to function as a physical two-factor authentication key for online accounts.Enhanced Security
The Titan M2 chip eliminates potential attack vectors by:
Hardening against side-channel attacks like power analysis and voltage fluctuations
Restricting firmware updates without the device’s pattern or PIN
Isolating cryptographic keys and sensitive data.
