I guess they are a bit niche nowadays, since I can see most people have accepted the new designs, which is sad.

            Huge bezels means budget?? What about the Xperias? Why don't you mention that in their reviews?

Sure, the more expensive the phone, the less value you get. Best value, at the moment? Galaxy A35 - has everything you want / need (except wireless charging and DeX).

                Charging speed of 18W is a joke in 2024.

                  It costs too much, with a few euros more you can buy Pixel 8

                    RaviSS, 01 Jun 2024Yeah, the launch/pricing strategy for 'A' series ... moreSpot on. Just introduce at $399 and stay at that point. Manufacturers can do that if they want

                      The ultrawide lacks Autofocus and so, can't capture these awesome macro closeups like the Pixel 8. NOTHING in the review about this.

                          This product is not really made to compete but to give a sense of false security to those afraid of buying something else.

                            slow charging, over heating camera not good compared to ONEplus, I regret for giving my oneplus for exchange.

                                It seems they want to sell this phone in Japan.
                                Google has started a sale where you can trade in your iPhone SE 3rd generation for free.
                                These confuse people.

                                  Just average battery (labeled "good" from GSMA!?!?).
                                  Overheating...(And yes it will lag even if you don't play games on it, try to multitask in the summer outside).
                                  CPU/GPU are simply weak.
                                  Thick bezels from 2010.

                                  I'm no hater, but this device can't deliver 2024 smartphone experience. It's like few years "late" to the party.

Either launch it at the same point as the premium models ($500 would have been kinda justified at the time Pixel 8 was $700), or if you are gonna launch it 6+ months later, when the premium models are already usually discounted by 20% or so, then better launch it at 20% lower price, thus maintaining the price differential (i.e. $400 for 8A as compared to ~$550 for 8). In any case it is gonna be discounted to that price soon enough. But the press/reception it would have gotten with an MSRP of $400 would have been warmer and more receptive and its flaws would have more palatable.
