looked at the 8a but pulled the trigger on the 256 8 instead.
hope it's a good phone. moving from 4a5G

yeah - went with p8 256gb as well - 8a is just a weird spot price wise....

Trade in is £215 for S21 Ultra so £414 all in plus 5% cashback as well

it's a nice phone.
I'm not blown away coming from a 4a5G like I was going from a OnePlus 3T to the 4a5G.

yeah - I'm going down in size (from s21 Ultra) but really just looking for a clean (not bloat) phone and improvement on battery life as my 3.5 year old s21 is struggling to make 24 hours now without a charge even light use.

Also the trade is value was decent so why not.

Happy with phone so far - only niggle is that the volume buttons and lock button are the opposite way round than my old S21 ultra - so I keep hitting the volume button instead of the lock button. More muscle memory I suppose than anything.

Otherwise - smaller screen/phone is fine.

So, after almost seven years of sticking with my old budget Mate 10 Pro I found a deal for a Pixel 8 Pro that seemed good value and a good time to upgrade.

After so long with a basic phone (which recently has been freezing and lagging even in Chrome), I have basically only been using two Japanese learning apps, email and Chrome. Any recommended apps and accessories to make the most of what the Pixel 8 series is capable of? (I am aware that is possibly an overly broad question...)
