Yeah the 5a has been great for my needs. Thanks a ton for your input on this!

Any idea how long it usually takes to see the substantial discounts on a new unit like the pixel 9 pro etc? I know that can't be predictable, but if the pixel 9 is newly arrived (which I think is true), and my phone is fading, I probably can't wait very long for a new phone. May have to do with...

And, is there something particularly better about the pixel 9 vs the pixel 8 that would make it worth waiting for (at a good price)?

Yeah - that's useful input, not exactly good news but more or less what I expected. I too have been very satisfied with the 5a, in particular the batter life. My primary axe to grind with phone manufacturers is that they don't allow for replacing the battery like my Note 4 phones did. This phone...

I have a pixel 5a that's been pretty solid since Oct 2021, three years. However for the last month or so two issues are biting. [1] Photos are frequently out of focus. Particularly close ups, what I find is that at first they are very out of focus, but if I switch to use the selfie camera and...

I"m the OP. I couldn't find the login link until just now. Those are all useful replies, thank you. I had a feeling that the capacitive type styluses would all be inferior to the samsung/note experience, and that's a problem. Then, the bottom line is that to have a note-like stylus experience...

I use the stylus on my Note 8 a lot. The phone is giving out now due to age. There are only a few phones that come with a stylus that I'm aware of - S22 ultra, S21 Ultra, the samsung folding phone, and the moto stylus. I don't particularly want to buy any of those phones. Can I buy another...

Moment wrote back to me and said they are not planning on a case for the 5a at this time.

beantownsouth, thanks for your input, and I didn't know that, I've never seen a pixel 5, never read about it, and never saw a pixel 5a until the one I bought arrived. I'm not really into cell phones; but I am into not dropping them!

Thank you B. Diddy! Moment does make a pixel 5 case; I have been wondering if the cutouts etc for a pixel 5 would work well on a pixel 5a; does anyone know? And is that Moment case on the more rubbery side?

But as I mentioned, B Biddy's experience with a non-pixel 5a case has lead me to check out Moment, who does make a pixel 5 case. Likely I would not have gotten that input in the dedicated 5a forum.

Actually that's a good example of why posting to General might be a good idea. Your response means I can write to Moment and ask if they plan on a case for the Pixel 5a.

No problem, but I posted it to General because I have a feeling it's not really an issue that particularly pertains to the pixel 5a.

My previous case was a spigen for the note 4. The plastic was slightly rubbery, it had a bump-out textured surface, and the perimeter was narrowed a bit and had an edge. It was an ideal case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAWRQR6?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6996999 I have a...
