Google Pixel 6a

Shame is 60hz, even 90hz would have been ok. If you can get £60 for the buds then it’s a good phone at £340.
 
Interesting. The same price as the Nothing Phone (1). Do we know when this actually releases? It would be interesting to compare the two.

They'll give me £140 for my old Pixel 4, so with the buds I'm looking maybe under £200... and 10% store credit... temping.

28th I believe.

What are the pros and cons of swapping from a 5? Simply buying more software updates and another 30 grams of weight

Hard to say right now but the tensor chip is more performant and it could give better battery life. You gain the benefits of the new chip like better ISP, magic eraser, face unblur, faster voice to text, etc.

You'll loose rear finger print scanner for under display and you'll downgrade to 60hz screen.

Not to mention you'll get a decent earpiece speaker.

I think the ultrawide sensor is an upgrade too. And possibly better haptic motor.

It's not really worth an upgrade from a 5.
 
I'd never buy a new google product again. My pixel 6 experiance has been so bad I dumped android and moved to iOS after literally not using iOS for like 10 years.

I'm likely to be moving to iOS as well. I have a Pixel 5 which is great but nothing on android really appeals to me at the moment as an upgrade at the end of the year and it's getting a little slow at times. Battery is still fantastic though.

I bought an iPad Pro recently which is fantastic and how it works with my Mac is superb. The last iPhone I had was the 5 so it's been a while for me too!
 
Hmm, could trade in Pixel 5 and get a 6a(plus free buds) for £200......but seems its a slight downgrade to me, totally happy with the 5, just musing......

it took me a bit of getting used to, probably good 4-6 weeks really but now I'm fine on iOS and it has been stable and works fine, it has its quirks and I miss certain parts of android often but I'd rather have stability, signal and be able to unlock my phone first time than deal with rubbish finger print scanner, no signal and random bugs from a software first company like google. Just a let down that left a really sour taste in my mouth. I loved my pixel 5 and still have it as a backup.
 
Not a particularly glowing review from MKBHD, not to say it looks bad but as he says it definitely doesn't look like a default recommendation for people looking around that price.

I guess it is if your priority is camera and the additional £50 discount offers around too
