Anyone ordered Pixel 7a?

No. Disappointed in the size and the pricing. I have a Pixel 5 and am looking for something similar in size and weight. This weighs significantly more. I'll probably hold out to see what the P8 comes in at spec-wise, but I'm pretty sure it will also disappoint. Otherwise, I'll be getting an S23 when some deals drop. For perspective, I've had Pixel or Nexus phones for over 10 years, and I've never had any phone prior to my P5 for more than 2 years, and those were only because of contracts.

I never thought I'd be going to Samsung, but Google has been disappointing me the last few years.
 
My phone buying has slowed down a lot. I used to upgrade every generation but now I find with the way phones improve, I can go 2 or 3 generations before I'm compelled to upgrade.
I'll see what the 8 series brings to the table and decide if an upgrade is warranted. Till then, I'm more than satisfied with my pixel 6.

I ordered one. I’m trading my Pixel 6 Pro in. My 6 Pro is nice but I wanted to go a bit smaller. And I dearly love the coral color.

I love my Pixel 5 and have not seen anything compelling enough to upgrade. Not for the way I use my phones anyway. Overall size and weight, screen, and a great camera. And everything just plain works. The fingerprint sensor on the back might be relatively low tech but it works like a charm.

I do miss the fps on the back. I had it on Pixel 2 and 3XL and that design was one of the best fps I have ever used. I loved my Pixel 2. I have used it off and on up until last year. I still have my 3XL. That one was hampered by really bad battery life and terrible problems during phone calls.
 
Same boat here, if the 7a was a touch smaller and lighter I'd have bought it instantly but my 5 is still perfection for my daily usage.

i should be getting one(black) on Sat. Too many problems with my Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it's just too big. When i bought the Nexus 6, years ago, my friends said that it was too big. It was 6". The Pixel 7a is 6.1".🤣😂😅
 
Picked up the Pixel 7a today. Set-up was easy except for one thing. I can't figure out how to add the location to the lock screen or the home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:unsure:
 
No location on the home screen, but one tap on the weather icon gives it to me. It's all good.
