    Very bland looking phone. What the hell is going on with designers now days? The Pixel Band was their Brand and it worked. 9 is Ugly and 9a, if that's really it, is Bland. The Pixel Charm is gone, it appears.

            The back of the phone reminds me of Xiaomi Mi A1 (Mi 5X), the google one edition xiaomi phone. LOL.

Tensor G2 wasn't particularly efficient so you might end up charging each day => 365 x 2 = 730 charges ~ 620 cycles (assuming you're charging between 15% and 100%). Yup, that's about right. After 600 cycles, you can expect battery to fail. Also, don't believe manufacturer numbers: if they say battery lasts 1200 cycles, it's almost certain it will last 800 or less. Theoretic numbers =//= practical numbers.

                  Another phone that's the same as the last 10 odd years of rubbish phones from every maker on the planet.

                  When is someone going to break the mold and make something people are asking for.

                    Pixel 3aXL in 2019 (3700mAh) with 4 years of use.
                    I doubt that new Pixel 9a will perform that well.

                        The larger battery of this 9a should last multiple days, and I hear the regular 9series is doing well for daily battery usage.

But should be same sensor from Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which does alright (some softness occasionally, but I think it's because AF misses sometimes). Would have loved the Lytia-700 sensor, tbph.

                                  The Camera island looks like a sticker.

                                    Anonymous, 25 Feb 2025Love the flat camera design!It looks like a toy with a design worthy of a low-end model. The main sensor is 1/2"... Which is ridiculous for a model that will be sold for more than 500€

                                      I want to experience Pixel UI but google pixel phones are very expensive and 3000-4700mAh battery life and this Google chipset is 💩 not Good for games if google used snapdragon or MTK I will definitely try Google pixels
