pogo_rabid 05/10/19 9:00:43 AM #40:	Have had my Pixel 3a XL for less than 24 hours, Here's some Surprises and Thoughts - Build does not feel cheap at all. Feels very similar to the Pixel 2 XL Panda feel. Feels well built. Back has that frosted feeling to it. - OLED screen is really good for a sub $500 phone - Stereo Speakers are really good. I like them better than the Pixel 3 XL's. Might not get quite as loud but sound very clear and not as much vibration as the 3XL's. These don't feel like budget speakers. - Haptic Feedback is great. I was expecting cheap feeling haptics, maybe tinny feeling but this feels very similar to the 3XL. Came from a Note 9 and its as good or better feeling that the note 9. - Size is perfect. Note 9 was too tall for me. - Weight, its lighter but not cheap feeling. With a old 3XL case on it(fits pretty close until I get a proper case) it has the right weight. - Headphone Jack audio sounds very good, similar to the Note 9. Not an audiophile tho so don't quote me but its sounds like the same quality other flagships have. - Phone feels fast. Might open apps a little slower than a flagship but its not "as slow as crap" like some are saying. I'm sure its not as fast at gaming but its definitely fast for my use case(music, YT, Social Media, Reddit, Chrome, etc) - Camera, Awesome, not slow at capturing(HDR processing in the background is a little slower but not really slow or much different). So glad to have a Pixel camera again, the Note 9 is nice and all but taking photos of moving subjects and in lower light conditions is not its best features. - Battery Life, so far hard to tell but seems as good as the note 9 or in between it and the Pixel 3 XL. - Buttons, feel well made and durable. Nice clicky buttons. - fingerprint Scanner is great. I am very happy with this phone. I'm really kinda single handedly blown away by how much google fit in this package. They really only skimped on the processor which seems great for my needs to far. I think people are bashing this phone too much when they have no experience actually using it yet. Yes its missing features but things needed cut for the price, and yes I understand you can get some flagships discounted close to this price but this phone is wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend it so far. I was really on the fence yesterday driving to Best Buy. I was thinking I would regret it. But its the opposite. I'm so glad I did. The Note 9 is wonderful and everything but it just has too many features that get in its own way. Plus I just wanted the best camera on a smartphone and that's the Pixel 3a/3/3xl. Price is such a great value especially at $479 + $100 bonus bringing it to $379. P.S. The Purplish color is the best. Not too purple just right. --- i7 5820k, 32gig QC, EVGA 1070ti, Samsung 970pro, Asus X99-a deluxe <cite>pogo_rabid posted [p:921709134] in The new Go...

Brand new with the full warranty and the S9 will get up to Android Q. Yes, there's complaints with updates and support with Samsung, but like others said, you have to be stupid to pay $400 for a mid range over an S9 for $275. At the same time, Samsung provides too many QoL additions. I personally prefer Pixels or rather stock myself and have all 3 Pixels, but yeah, this phone is a scam. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

Ask your average user (iOS or Android) what OS version they're running and they'll have no freaking idea.

I love my S7 but I can tell it's dying, might get me an S9 now. <cite>CommonStar posted [p:921771566] in The new Go... [t:77700019]...</cite> <quote>Damn, didn't the S9 just come out last year?

DarkRoast 05/11/19 7:31:05 PM #69:	Actually, I was wrong. The Pixel 3a's Snapdragon 670 is actually slightly slower than the 2017 Snapdragon 835 in single core, and massively slower in multicore benchmarks. So the Galaxy S8 is actually a more powerful phone as well, and I'm sure you can get that for much cheaper than the 3a. Plus you get no bezels, an SD card slot and more everything. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:921771717] in The new Go... [t:77700019]...</cite> <quote>Actually, I was wrong.
