UpInTheAyr Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Anyone got the Pixel 4a and would you recommend it? Thought I might treat myself to this considering I've been rockin the same phone for six years now and the stock android is fairly appealing as well as the three years of updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of the Nexus variants over the years and always found that the Google phones were great for cameras and getting updates and big fixes to you quickly. Always been a fan of stock Android as well. However battery life was always a bit iffy. From a look at the reviews of the Pixel 4A that pattern seems to be continuing. Have you looked at the OnePlus Nord? Could be an alternative option for you and it's even cheaper than the Pixel 4A whilst rocking a lot of similar features. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry fella, late to reply here - but, judging by the tech guys on YouTube the consensus is that the Pixel 4A is amazing value for money, and you're getting a flagship quality camera on a budget price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Standard" Pixel 4A is cheaper than the Nord. If you buy them from the Google store you can pay it off monthly over 2 years at 0% APR which is handy. Also, if you hold off for another week or so and buy either a Pixel 4A (5G) or Pixel 5 you get a pair of Bose QC 35 IIs for free. These head phones are worth around £230 to £250 so if you are in the market for a new pair of headphones and can spare some extra cash to move up the Pixel line that offer might be appealing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 iPhone SE (1st Gen) has finally fucked it, certain parts of the screen are completely unresponsive to taps although the pixels aren't dead. Thinking of going for a iPhone 7 or possibly save a little for an 8, is it decent or shite, and is there much between them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Gone back to Apple and ordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Only 128 GB storage but that's plenty for this cat. Been checking out quite a lot of comparison articles and videos with its Android rivals and it comes out on top in the majority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Wilkos Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I wouldn't get one myself because of the price - but it has to be said that the new all-black S21 Ultra is fairly sexually arousing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Due an upgrade so have been looking at phones. Currently have a P30 Pro which I am happy with, although it's been dropped too many times and therefore is a bit cracked. Usually I will just drop to a 30 day rolling contract, but am considering going for a new phone. Well aware that this is an absolute yer da question, but so they still make phones with a 3.5mm jack? Bluetooth headphones just aren't the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be your best shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Got a Samsung A12 about 6 months ago which I've been pretty pleased with. There is an issue which crops up intermittently in that audible notifications for emails often arrive several minutes later, or sometimes not at all. Have gone through all the usual youtube guides, suggestions, but the problem remains. Anyone else suffer from this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 My Note 9 contract is due to expire soon. I have been thinking of getting the S21 Ultra. Has anyone got one? Is it worth upgrading to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any good? I've been very happy with it - does everything I need from a phone. The 48mp camera is superb, and the display is excellent. I'm not much into games, but for some, I gather it's not all that great in that respect. Works well in the car for me when hooked up to the Ford Sync 3 display, for satnav, google maps. The issue I had with audible notifications for emails seemed to resolve itself - I gather it was down to a compatibility issue between Samsung and gmail. Got a great battery in it, which for me can generally go for 3 days without charging. Really good value phone, which I can highly recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be needing it for even less intensive purposes than you, so that sounds good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Looking at replacing my Nokia 7 plus, I'm tempted by either the Samsung a52s 5g or the OnePlus Nord 2 5g. Any users of either out there with good or bad things to say? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Got a Pixel 6 last week. There had apparently been some bugs but I got it the same day the much-awaited patch was released. Very nice so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
