    Glad you like it man. I still really like mine. I don't mind the speaker quality tbh but I do mostly listen through headphones or q Bluetooth speaker. The biggest issue I have is the sound quality of on calls. It just sounds so hollow.

    Also, I used to think I like big phones. Now comparing this to my old Note 9 and I don't know what I was thinking!

    Yeah retails for half the price I think I might pick it up and upgrade a year or two down the line. First time buying a Pixel but I really liked the first two

    Think the 4a is only $100 cheaper. P5 is great for the price.

    Pixel 2XL was one of the best phones I ever owned. Also was a big fan of the OG Moto X and Nexus 6P

    P2XL was my best phone ever as well. Gotta admit, I think the visual voicemail is a great feature. And the searching of a word in a audio file. Google really are great at their software.

    Nah $350 vs $699

    If the P5 was like $499 I’d probably just go with that

    Ah, fair enough. If the 4a has the little software touches that the 5 has got (like the ones I mentioned above) then I'd go for it tbh. Pixel is the "iPhone of Android". By which I mean they know how to make the software work without flooding it with stupid features and bloatware. I feel confident in recommending Google's software skills. So it may not be perfect, but I'm sure the 4a will offer great value for money for the price.

    As far as I know the 4A differences are

    Smaller display
    Gorilla Glass 3 instead of 6
    Cheaper CPU
    Has a headphone jack
    Poly casing instead of recycled aluminum
    No wide camera lens
    Smaller battery but due to the CPU/Display while watching media the battery lasts longer

    Besides that it’s the same

    yeah not a big fan of Samsung UI. I did switch to Nova Launcher to make it more like a pixel. The camera on the note was terrible if there was any movement while you took the photo and I missed getting new features/updates immediately #NoRagrets

    yeah, the camera on the Pixel is actually quite a bit better than the Note's from what I can tell, at least on last year's models. But at least you had an ultrawide camera (Pixel 4 does not which was dumb, finally they put it on the 5)

    Hmm, rumours of a Pixel 5 Pro to be released in Q1 21 are beginning to gain some traction.

    I'd be pissed if this is the case tbh. Unless they offer a good trade in for early P5 adopters.

    Thoughts if this was the case?
