    I'm changing over from the 5A. The in sceen FP sensor is going to trip me up for a while.

    Google Pixel 5a - A tempting value option or just left over old tech?

    I suspect the move is a result of tight supply chains. They can't get enough materials so they have to stop making something in current production to make new product. Just a guess . . .

    There's no macro function. It has a digital zoom at 2x, but it's nothing to get excited about.

    Not slippery but not tacky like TPU or a rubberized finish. I would switch to Rhino Shield or LifeProof if they offer something.

    Google Pixel 5a - A tempting value option or just left over old tech?

    It's about the same size as my 2XL and fits my hand very well. For the price, the case is good. I haven't seen anything else I like. It's a close fit with little bulk, but I'm not anxious to test the drop protection. I added a Spigen 360 Ring for extra safety and as a bonus it works with my...

    Maybe Moon case, definitely a drab moon like gray and surprisingly non tacky grip . . .

    Boxes are open, but I haven't turned it on yet . . . Tried posting photos on prior post but received an odd "redirecting" messaging which disappeared before I could read it.

    Everything has been delivered; I just can't get home to open it yet. Figures that would be my luck!

    Tomorrow should be a good day, yes. My Pixel case shipped also with expected delivery tomorrow. I plan to spend my day doing routine tasks with my 2 XL: read Android Central, order coffee, check email, generate a few memes, etc. Then I'm going to lay my Pixel 2 XL to rest with full honors and...

    Google Pixel 5a - A tempting value option or just left over old tech?

    I ordered the "Maybe Moon". I've been a fan of the Panda/Storm Trooper color scheme since the Nexus 6P. If not for the orange accents, I'd probably get the "Black Moss". I'm happy to post pictures. As of now, the case has not shipped. While not comprehensive per se, the Google Pixel 5a case...

    Does it matter? I feel like the technology has gotten there, and Google is advertising IP67. If it's not true, there will be a class action lawsuit. If it's an engineering question, there's probably videos on YouTube?

    pseudoware, Google just charged my credit card for the 5a. Any movement on your end? Reference the value proposition for the Pixel 5a, I purchased a Nexus 5X in September 2015 for $429. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $492.21 today (https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm). By...

    Likewise, coming from a Pixel 2XL the 5a is a vast improvement. I replaced the 2XL battery May of last year. It was doing great. Now I'm lucky to get through the work day without a charge. Plus the handset locks up and randomly restarts. I'm still interested in the 6 Pro, but having a 5a...

    Camera stopped working two days ago.

    Glad you found a solution. I took my Pixel to a repair shop. New camera was $110. I like the handset so it was an easy decision.
