Google Pixel 5a

I got one in September 2023.

Purchasing decision

Mostly researched on [[sustaphones]] and some review sites. Bought it second-hand refurbished from [[Backmarket]].

I got it because:

Initial thoughts

  • I don't like the form factor. Stupidly long and thin, hard to use with one-hand (unless you turn on the stupid one-hand mode).
  • Nice screen.
  • Sooooooooooo. Muuuuuuuuuuch. Fasssssster than my old phone.
  • Battery life is fantastic so far, compared to previous phone.
  • Camera: a lot better.

Alternatives

I would have like a Teracube 2e or a Fairphone, but both a bit pricey, and seems hard to find them second-hand.
