    Too rounded. The 7 series had the best design. This looks like an iphone clone.

      I would prefer a thicker phone with bigger battery and with no to minimal camera bump. Sony I think make the best front door a phone with forward facing speakers, shame their update cycles suck.

      I hope this becomes the new old trend again.

It's not like people will spend that much money (1k+) to get the same experience of UI/UX or gaming as 500 bucks phone. But you wouldn't get the same experience in camera in this level of phones as what you get with the ultra ones.

                    Kratos-, 23 Mar 2025Specs wise looks good just those huge bezel why I'm far from being an expert, but I think it's a weight distribution thing.Meaning It falls face first in most tests..if not, maybe that's Google's idea of the "budget"/secondary beater phone look. Like the vehicle some get to keep the nice one nice and clean.

                    Kids first phone, phone used when working construction or a phone for those who just want a basic phone to drive a good smartwatch (and almost never touch the phone).

                                    Unless you want a basic and boring phone never buy a pixel. Buy a decent samsung flagship and enjoy. My dad is using a pixel and he likes my samsung more.

                                      If you are looking for the latest in hardware don't get a pixel but if you are looking for something long lasting with robust and optimized software that even gets better year after year get a pixel.
                                      I bought a pixel 6a for my son 2 years ago. After a year, impressed of the good experience I bought a pixel 8a. I came from Huawei and OnePlus and iPhone.
                                      So far today the pixel 6a is still receiving updates and it seems faster and smoother than when it was new.

                                        Specs wise looks good just those huge bezel why
