              well written hands-on review.

              However, on 2nd paragraph of page 02, you say...

              "Starting with the basic shape, the Pixel 9a follows the more expensive Pixel 9 to a T. "

              What do you mean by "T"?

                Ugly.

                  Anonymous, 12 Apr 2025a second hand samsung galaxy s23He wants "very good cameras". I don't think Samsung falls into that category. A second-hand Pixel 8 (6.2" display) would be an excellent choice.

                    asinine. that's what the a stands for in the 9a.
                    seriously, what a stupid phone. and that asking price. goodness!

                      Samulai, 12 Apr 2025Pixel 9 is very regularly on sale with a 400€ trade-in bonu... moreWith latest discounts on the Pixel 9 it's now selling for €700 and the Pixel 9a starts at €600 so only around €100 difference. The 9a is likely to drop quickly in price.

                        If I have to nitpick, the Pixel 9 was definitely not "wonderfully compact". It is huge and heavy.

                            Jiggs, 12 Apr 2025The embargo has been lifted now. Do you intend to do a revi... moreThey probably had the hands-on ready two weeks ago or something, but they couldn't publish it until now due to the aforementioned embargo.

                              Pixel 9 is very regularly on sale with a 400€ trade-in bonus, so that phone is worth about 400-450€

                              Where is the value for the 659€ Pixel 9a?

                                      just use snapdragon already, the custom chip project is a massive failure. 4 generations and no improvement in performance is quite literally insanity

                                        Well what is the best choice for 400-450€ for a Phone with max 6,3" display? Even a older Phone or Second Hand. Main priorities are a good battery and good to very good cameras. I dont care about procesor, Games and other things Like that.
