16a have better build materials or more premium materials as metal and glass. Build quality means how well the phone is built. Built as it wont fall apart in a month or when dropped wont be in million pieces. Build quality is like when you compare watches like Rolex that is basically hand built and compare it with Chinese fake that is mass produced

Never mind that it's not 500 more but only 200-300 more cause 500 for what Google ask for the 9a is crazy expensive. At best the price should be 350 with these specs it offers.
500 dollars is a price of a top end middle class as it's already in a range to get 1 year old flagship from Samsung or Apple.

Modem's from P8 5300 not 5400 from P9 drops calls unstable connectivity, Ram slouch too 8gb insufficient for AI going forward.
I like the design tho no camera bump looks cool.

The best thing about this Pixel is the Absence of that ridiculous camera visor.

Is it asking too much to have the uniformity of bezels mentioned explicitly? On all phones?

It looks like it's around 2020.
This screams "CHEAP" wherever you look (but it's not cheap at $500).

I must say that the Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e make even the A56 look like a good deal, despite its high launch price.

I don't think it will be a success. You can mainly find such a phone in the price category around 300 euros.
The only positive thing is the many years of OS and security updates.

Also a bit offtopic, but Apple is ripping off customers with the USB-C 2.0
Why, even the galaxy S8 from 2018 has USB-C 3.1, which is better

You'll be getting twice the performance, a more premium build and noticeably slimmer bezels. The only downgrade would have to be the USB 2.0 port vs the USB 3.2 on this device
