Well, I've just requested a new device, should be here in a few.... Fingers crossed.

Hope the replacement is better for you.

Did you buy directly from Google?

 

[V_R]

I did, yes.

If anyone was interested, I got my new phone on Friday, all is well. The speaker on the old one was definitely shot in one way or another. The difference between this one and the old one is night and day. Glad I noticed it!

Google CS were exemplary, already sent off the old one back to them this afternoon.

Can't complain.

Marketing blunder. They should have gone for the 4th

4a coming on 4a .. big billboard in Time square....... Oh yeah people don't care anymore

Maybe it's a desperate attempt to release before OP Nord

I do think this delay will cost them sales compared to launching in May, there's been an a big influx of excellent midrange phones this summer.

agreed. the nord being a blinder for £350

There's also the Motorola G G5 Plus, Realme X50 5G and to an extent iPhone SE 2 from April.

It's already looking pretty average spec wise so would have to smash it out the park with that software experience but there's only so much it can do with a single camera setup and your regular 60Hz screen.

Wonder if they will try and throw in another juicy order bonus with it to push sales.

best bet for google now is to sell it at cost price. seeing as they make so much money out of services, add revenue and the play store. they really need to do something different or the mid range boat has sailed.

 

[neoboy]

Yup, rather they go straight into £299 price bracket than £399 of Pixel 3a and throw in some Chromebook that almost no one wanted.

Motorola G G5 Plus

motorola need to sort their naming out

prob some rubbish 6 months free youtube sub to only american buyers that haven't previously signed up.

google have been rubbish with the "freebies" of late.

Yeah, that confused me a little. It didn't help it should actually be Moto G 5G Plus

Is this how they're doing their 'G' range now? There won't be a number, it will just be the 2020 version or something?

 

[neoboy]

Yeah I had to double check I had the name right on that one and still didn't get it right

Still, looks a solid midranger so Pixel needs to be aggressive on the price to make up for lack of lenses and high refresh screen.

Also I assume it will have 5g?

 

[joelk2]

if its 399 it wont sell, from all the leaked specs there would be absolutely zero reason to pick it over the nord.

 

[Sho]

£399 for a Pixel 4a? No thanks.

 

[unwashed potato!]

£399 for a Pixel 4a? No thanks.

especially if they don't mention anything about the pixel 5 as it'd typically be only a few months away. if they say the pixel 5 is delayed until 2021 then at least you know this is the latest pixel for the next 6/7 months.

 

[BMox81]

It will be £350.

So at that point, it will be down to whether you value the regular updates and stock Android.

Going from here, that’s clearly not enough anymore.

 

[neoboy]

Oneplus really don't seem to be that far off on the software front either so that's where Nord has really thrown a spanner in the works for them, especially with a delay from May launch.
