Anonymous, 9 hours agoThis costing anything above $230 is daylight robery.Keep dreaming. 😋
Even "cheap" Chinese phones start from $ 250.

    I was hoping for a model like Pixel 9 but no, really disappointed

      Rafafernando, 6 hours agocons : no charger in the box ? Is this still a negative po... moreMost Chinese brands do bar I think realme doesn't for a few phones and Xiaomi doesn't for a few phones in certain continents (if I remember correctly).

      Actually most Chinese brands still offer a type C to jack dongle and generally a decent case for the phone, I did with my find X5 (like an easy £100 extras in the box for free, 80w charger, designer case and dongle).

        cons : no charger in the box ?
        Is this still a negative point? Which mobile phone comes with a charger in its box?

            The regular 9 beats it in endurance and is almost the same price or cheaper now lol. DOA product.

              Glass Oled to that P-oled screen is an objective downgrade, probably factored in why battery life is only subpar even though it went up 13%

These type of phones are basically meant to be bought for £100-150 in a couple years knowing you'll still get good few years of updates still (phones can last 5 years easy with the hardware now, even lower end stuff). That or get it cheap on contract with some pixel buds free or something, buying it makes no sense at MSRP.

Still love my 8 pro though (never thought I'd say I'd ever enjoy using a pixel, 6 pro was beyond awful).

The competition absolutely offer fluid software experience, bloatware-free and clean is subjective and speaking of camera, I'm sure this phone isn't better than the competition, especially at the price they are asking so can't really think of any reason in favour of Google A series since 5A. Can't believe they chose these huge bezels which are even worse than the 5A which was from 4 years ago!

                      Pumpino, 01 May 2025A Pixel 8 on sale makes far more sense than the 9a. Given t... moreThe camera + clean, fluid, smooth, bloat-free software + update policy are ways for Google Pixels to compensate for their inferior hardware compared to Chinese models.

                        automatic NO with that ugly huge bezels and specs for a 2025 phone for that price. How can people who buy these Google A series justify their purchase is beyond insanity

                                      These product designers at Google should be fired. Why are they ruining the phone with such thick bezels?

                                        Nice try, Google, but iPhone 16e-waste is still the worst value for money in 2025.
