markiz, 12 Dec 2024Because that is what buyers prefer. You are a minority stil... moreThe 3a did come in a regular and an XL variant, but hardly anyone bought either model. The next year, the 4a came in a smaller 4G version while a larger 5G version (that I purchased and used for three years) was released months later. But Google's strategy that year seemingly cannibalized all of their phone sales, since the Pixel 5 was in many ways a downgrade from both the 4 from the previous year, and also the simultaneously released 4a 5G. The only real reason to get the 5 was if you wanted MMWave 5G, and were not on Verizon, which describes three people in the whole world.

9A is the only 9 series that come out with Android 15 out of the box. The other 9 series will give you only 6 OS updates in total so they end on A21 while 9a on A22
Pixel Xa series use to be more compact in size then others in the series while now it's bigger then 9 and 9 Pro even tough they are also 6.3 inch screen but are 152mm tall while 9a is 154mm tall.
But then again 9 series is a total fail and it's best to go with Pixel 8 series as the price have dropped and you wont miss out on updates too. While performance change is microscopic

Too big! 5.8" on the 4a was perfect. I would even prefer 5.5".
Why would anyone get a flagship though? Mid rangers are knocking on their door. The technology is pushing things forward, no matter how much they try to hold it back.
For example, 128GB should not be around in mid-rangers and flagships in 2024. But they are still using it to push people into 256GB. UFS 4.0 starts at 256GB. They will have to switch to it eventually, whether they want it or not.
120Hz screen tech already got pushed into mid and even budget range.
UWB and telephoto lens is what's left.

Docktor, 12 Dec 2024Smaller main photo sensor than Pixel 8a? Really? I thought ... moreNot necessarily smaller; only smaller photo size (12 MP vs. 16 MP). Pixel size is the same: 0.8 µm. Besides, Samsung GN8 seems a very capable senzor. We'll just have to wait for DxOMark scores to make an idea. If it's 146+ for Photo, I'd say it's pretty solid. Final score would, probably, be ~ 140. And that's pretty impressive for a $ 500 phone, tbh.

G4 performance is hilarious, between 50 to 80 worst than the 8 gen 3, basically a 7 gen 3. Shocked they charge so much for the pixel pro etc.

Meh, same old thing.
Pros: good camera, google support, good screen
Cons: price too close to pixel 9, slow charging, poor battery, gorilla glass3 in 2025 really google?
It'll be a good deal 3 months after release when price comes down to 400 or less.

Disappointing: a smaller photo sensor with lower definition and a banal design...

I'm still very happy with my Pixel 6a. It fullfils my everyday needs. Everything works, feels snappy and camery is still pretty good. But I guess the 9a will be my next phone in 1-2 years, but for now brand new is too expensive. I like to invest in phones $300 at max.

compared to the competition i think it is overpriced for what you get. it's only plus point i think is that in today's terms it's kind of compact. am sadly accustomed to no 3.5mm either now.

Casio, 12 Dec 2024it should be priced at half of $499/$549 for what it offers... moreTrue, but 9 series sales are the highest to date. I'd say their monopoly has only just begun.
