Just ordered the 9a

[sulla1965]

I finally decided to downsize. I normally avoid "Smaller" phones. Aways going 6.6 and above. But I don't watch movies or play games. And I don't post much on social media. So hopefully I can learn to type on a smaller phone.

But with the same chip as the Pixel 9 pro, and 120 hertz screen. This isn't exactly mid range device IMO.

It's definitely midrange!

Using the same chip as the 9 pro doesn't elevate the status of the 9a, the Tensor 4 is OK for day to day stuff but for anything like photo editing or gaming it's not up to it, there's no way a £1000 smartphone should come with anything less than the most powerful SOC there is.

Also, 120hz is ubiquitous throughout all midrange and flagship phones so that's not a differentiator.

It's definitely a mid-range phone... And there are things that are going to remind you about it like heat, bezels and the plastic feel. It's also abnormally thick and heavy for a phone its size.

The 9a doesn't feel like plastic, it has an aluminium frame, yeah the back is plastic but holding it in your hand you wouldn't know.

As for the weight, it's lighter than the 9 or the 9 pro and it has a bigger battery, which I'm sure accounts for the thickness.

Hope you enjoy your phone and keep us posted on your thoughts while daily driving it, I test drove a pixel A series awhile back and the phone handled excellent.

Well yeah, the pixel 9 and 9 xl are the flagships. Mid range, sure. Budget phone, no.

The Pixel 9 is outrageously priced. I can't get a brand new one with all the features for under $ 699. What exactly made you drop the money for the Pixel 9?

Also, have one of these coming tomorrow. This phone got stellar reviews for the most part. I'm surprised there's no action in here, last post almost 3 months ago I was going to get the 10 but no psim is a no go for me. I haven't had a pixel in a couple of years so looking forward to getting back into it. Anyone using case-less? I'll be trying that for a while to see if I need one or not. I'm coming from a Zenfone 10 most recently and got used to using that one without a case. I prefer no case but if it's not grippy enough then I'll pick up a case.
