More than anything, longer software cycle support, smaller size, and the realization I don't need all the bells and whistles anymore as "budget" phones are really good at this point. I'm also very partial to anything BLUE! The change in appearance for the 9 series looks nice but...if I wanted a...

I'm debating whether to "upgrade" to the Pixel 8A from my current Pixel 7 (non pro). While I realize some may consider this a downgrade, I am not one to NEED the latest specs. I was previously going to wait for the 9 release but currently Best Buy is temporarily offering a higher trade in value...

Well I decide I'm going to hold off on preorder. With the last Pixels models I made this mistake and then Google does discounts like two months after. Usually during the holiday season. This time I'll play the waiting game, especially at this price point.

Is the porcelain color the same as the snow from the Pixel 7? Or is it more like an off white / beige color? My Pixel 7 is the snow color which I chose over the obsidian because of the glossy back. I'm tempted to get the obsidian for the fold since it's matte black but the porcelain does look...

I prefer clear cases to show off the device but they always yellow. :(

Is there a way to set up auto reply to anyone that may text me at a time I do not wish to be disturbed? I'm thinking something similar to iPhone when you are driving and it automatically sends a text stating you are driving. I also don't find this feature in Android Auto.

I obtained a new Pixel 7 I got through a trade in with Google with the intention to resell but with all these constant sales it's impossible! Google just wants to give these phones away this year! I can just imagine Oprah "and you get a Pixel 7, and you get a Pixel 7, and YOU GET A PIXEL 7...

All I can say is this is the LAST time I order a Pixel device at full original price. Lately these Pixel phones get such significant discounts or great trade in options shortly after their release that they are not worth buying at full price. Just look at Swappa, there's tons of Pixel 7 in new...

Has anyone here ordered a Pixel device in the past where the IMEI reflects a Google Fi phone despite having ordered an unlocked phone straight from the Google store? I bought the device new and gave to family member but he cannot get it to work with AT&T. I consider myself pretty tech savvy but...

Mine says it departed the Nashville location and now says Moving through network, in transit, arriving late. It's been at this status for many days now. I don't understand why it's taking so long. Growing a bit concerned.

Anybody here upgrading to the 7 from the 6A? If already upgraded, what do you feel that is different from the 6A aside from speed and cameras? I've come to realize with Pixel devices it's all about the experience. As I was testing a 7 at Best Buy and comparing it to my 6A I didn't feel much...

Ordered the regular Pixel 7 (Snow, 128GB) today and paid only $75 for it! Thanks to Google for their incredible trade in price for Apple devices I traded in my secondary device iPhone 11 pro for $555. Just need to wait for all of it to come in to send the iPhone to Google. Curious, what does...

So strange to see messages using that much percentage. Might be a software issue with the app itself unless you really text a to lot haha.

Yes I have it enabled and it has helped a little but there is still some inaccuracy with the sensor. I tend to use protectors thinking long term resale value to at least be able to sell as mint condition.

The 5A was a fantastic phone with respect to battery. I never understand when a company decides to go backwards in battery capacity on newer devices. It's like there's always something that needs to be sacrificed. Still the battery isn't bad on the 6A but not stellar. I would say heavy users...
