Same, I love having it.
Really my ideal Pixel would have a fingerprint sensor, wireless charging, and a beefier battery.

Or, you go with the SE because if you want portability, considering its one of the smallest options in the market nowadays.Sounds like:
- You go with Pixel 4a if you care most about battery and photo quality.
- You go with iPhone SE if you care most about performance and video quality.
Swappa is the best place online to sell your old phones, unless you get a really good trade dealer at a store/carrier. I've used it in the past.Anyone else trading in an iPhone for this? My partner just bought one and opted to trade in her iPhone 7 Plus (128GB), which Google is giving $145 for. I thought that was pretty decent for a 4 year old phone, but it looks like it's going for $200+ on eBay. Does Google usually undercut that much, or are the eBay prices just an anomaly?
It's in pretty good condition, a few scuffs on the body and some slight scratches on the screen. Works perfectly otherwise. Anyone know the best way to sell an older iPhone?

Would this be a good upgrade coming from a Samsung S9? Or should I wait for the eventual Pixel 4A 5G or even Pixel 5?

They are both the same in body size. It's just that the iPhone has massive bezels (you could probably land a small drone in there).Or, you go with the SE because if you want portability, considering its one of the smallest options in the market nowadays.

Good to know. Took a look and it looks pretty simple, plus her phone is going for well over $200 there. Seems like the way to go.Swappa is the best place online to sell your old phones, unless you get a really good trade dealer at a store/carrier. I've used it in the past.
I mean, I don't think Google is reselling these phones traditionally, rather recycling them for materials? I would think they would give slightly higher, or take more of a loss for an iPhone to facilitate people switching platforms.Well, you have to factor in they're giving you that much so it can be resold at a higher price, otherwise why would they bother. Its like trading in anything, you'll get more money if you sell it yourself.
iOS is actually a con, by far.iPhone for software support, build quality, customer service as well, by faaaaar
Eh, honestly I've had a worse experience with Apple support/customer service, and build quality for that matter, than the Google equivalent over the years--and by a significant margin. Of course, that's just my experience, but I'd never recommend that someone buy an Apple product for the build quality or the customer service, because I just don't think there's a significant advantage there--my iPad Pro 10.5 has more build quality issues than my Pixel XL, and my attempts to get those issues resolved through support have been both more frustrating and less fruitful than, say, my efforts to deal with my old Nexus 6P's battery issues via Google support.iPhone for software support, build quality, customer service as well, by faaaaar
Oh wow, didn't think of that. Getting $163 trade in for my Pixel 3. Tempting.....Since Google is offering $120 for a Pixel 3a trade-in I may just jump on this, the RAM and storage upgrades are probably worth it alone.

I want to upgrade but I have to keep the Pixel 1 at all costs - the infinite camera data upload thing is just too valuable (and easily abused).I just pre-ordered through Google's site and was able to get a trade-in for my original Pixel XL estimated at $27, which isn't bad considering it's on its last legs battery-wise.
I like the old design and bezels, plus the smaller screen. The Iphone SE is still smaller (135 mm vs the 4a's 144), and more similar to my old Z5 Compact.They are both the same in body size. It's just that the iPhone has massive bezels (you could probably land a small drone in there).
The Pixel 4/XL was such a disappointing phone compared to anything other Android phone or the iPhone 11, especially for the price they were asking. Hope this is better.
Hopefully Google learned from "nobody wants 4K 60fps video", poor face unlock (lack of a secure unlock, really) gimmicky features and awful battery.
I really liked my Pixel 1, but it seems each gen they just get progressively worse, feature and design wise. Nice to see this has the back button finger print instead.
Definitely not here in the UK, at least. The Nord has a 765G and it's only ÂŁ30 more than the 4a. Around the ÂŁ500 mark you start finding phones with SD855s or even the 865, in the case of the Poco F2 Pro. (Which I'd be very tempted by if it wasn't for its software, which generally isn't all that well-regarded.)$500 for the 4a 5G? Is the upgrade to Snapdragon 765G worth an extra $150?
Processor-wise they're roughly equivalent, so you shouldn't expect a significant step up in performance at least.Anyone know how this would compare to a Pixel 2? I've been using that since launch and thinking about an upgrade
Yeah I just don't take enough photos that I really want to keep for that to be an issue.I want to upgrade but I have to keep the Pixel 1 at all costs - the infinite camera data upload thing is just too valuable (and easily abused).
It was pretty bad at the launch period through early 2020. It didn't even require your eyes to be open/eye detection to unlock. Barely any apps could use face unlock for app security at launch, either. It's gotten better, but it was ridiculous how the Face Unlock was so unsecure and slipped past Google.
was thinking the same thingSince Google is offering $120 for a Pixel 3a trade-in I may just jump on this, the RAM and storage upgrades are probably worth it alone.
everything i've read says its ufs 2.1Do the reviews verify the 4a does NOT use eMMC? I thought the original leaks way back when said it didn't, but I haven't had time to read any of these in depth.
Yeah, what's up with that? The Pixel 1 is the only phone I've known to actually have terrible battery life after a year. I've got old old phones from 2013 and such that last longer even today and was used way more than it. Kinda swore me off buying a pixel phone ever again.The battery life on my Pixel phones have gone to shit after a year, but given that there's nothing else out there that interests me I'll opt for the cheaper Pixel this year.
Cost saving.
I'm not denying this claim, but it is strange to me because my Pixel is 3 years old and the battery still lasts a day and a half for me. Guess I'm lucky.Yeah, what's up with that?

The 4a is available for preorder now and will be shipping in a couple weeks. The 4a 5G and the 5 were announced Monday, but won't be released until October.I'm confused, this isn't coming out till October? Why the fuck would you announce it early August? I need a new phone now badly and was hoping to get this, but I don't know if my phone can last 2 more months.

I thought this was still the case for all Pixels. I bought a Pixel 4XL and they clearly advertised it to me. In the phones options, it's clearly stipulated.I want to upgrade but I have to keep the Pixel 1 at all costs - the infinite camera data upload thing is just too valuable (and easily abused).
