Ah. I'd missed the latest news, had been expecting it to land here in the coming weeks.
Might have to get a 4a. Bought one for my son at the start of the year, and have been reasonably impressed.
I really just don't want anything too big.
Soldato
Yep the 4a has dropped a bit too, £279 and 24 months interest free credit is not a bad proposition if the size suits.
Screens a little bigger, blacks a little less black and its waterproof.

I've just looked up the dimensions of the 5a, and it's much bigger than the 4a anyway.
****** off that small phones are basically extinct.
Keep an eye out for a Pixel 5 on sale

Maybe you need to consider the Galaxy flip phone
I wish. Stock is drying up
Since the latest update on my 4a the battery life has been dreadful, wifi seems to be draining my battery, any suggestions what to do here?

Agreed, you have
- Pixel 4a
- Pixel 5 (EOL)
- Asus Zenfone 8
And this is sadly why I've been looking at the iPhone Mini.
I'd love a Pixel 6a in the form factor of the 5. I didn't upgrade from my 3XL and now it seems I've missed out as it's EOL
I'm sure you can get open box stuff on ebay. I'm also hoping they release a 6a next year
Honestly feel the pixel 5 is the perfect sized phone in terms of width, height and weight. Making a phone from glass is totally pointless as 99% of people have a case on them anyway so you never get to see the so called "premium build quality", and just makes them heavy.
Don't like the direction Google are going with the pixel 6 and can't see myself getting an iPhone (until they rediscover curved edges...) - hope this pixel 5 holds out for a good few years!

I am excited where the pixel 6 is going!
However not sure why the standard 6 is not more in the size range of the 5 and the pro bigger

Seems the new direction for Pixel line is same as all other flagship manufacturers now rather than old strategy of offering a small and large options.
Guess they will just be plugging that compact hole with more their new budget/midrange variants whatever they may be.
EDIT:
Definitely does seem to be the case of spot the difference with 5a

5a is not available in Europe and 5 is now officially discontinued, as said they do not run a sale end of life.. they just get rid of stock and forget about it

Are we sure it was just security? My clock widget certainly changed and the Easter egg changed, which I read about as a Beta update?
I think it was this.
