All 13 opinions

  • No point in promising 7 years of security updates knowing that that the hardware will probably only last 1 year

    Had problems with it since day one, Two different Google pixel 9a replacements within the time span of 1 month, they all performed the same. Also, 128GB will feel like 32GB's on this phone, be advised

    No, I did not receive a lemon, and No, the data plan I'm on is not the cause of the connectivity issues, I had no bad experience from any other phone when it came to making phone calls or using data ❌Pixels modems in general are just that bad

    Not to mention.. Google is one of the most shady companies on earth, I wouldn't recommend supporting them. Don't waste your time getting this brick made for the crackhead grandma on the street, and If you want a Google pixel that bad, you should aim for the 9 Pro XL or the 10 Pro, they're both having huge sales as of now

    Pros
    • No camera bump
    • Great stereo speakers
    • Good Bluetooth connectivity
    • Super bright screen for outdoors (2700NITS)
    • Best Photography
    • Clean OS, Zero Bloatware, probably the closest experience of stock android you could get
    Cons
    • Terrible ROM management
    • Exynos 5300 modem (one of the worst modern modems)
    • Weak Signal, Quick Battery Drainage, Huge Bezels.
    • Overheats regularly, even with the vapor chamber.
    • Lagging & stutter problems, even on simple apps
    • Poor call quality (Bonus: Weak Tensor Processor)

    Promise of 7 years of support and updates. Software a bit hit and miss. Disappointed with battery performance and visibility outdoors as it deems automatically without an option to put the brightness up manually or stop this due to overheating issues. Performance is great, though I think I could do better for its price. Looking at POCO phones for example. Time will tell if software patches will solve these problems or if they're hardware related.

    Overall not happy and a bit disappointed with Google

    Very good phone for the price

    It's an excellent choice; it's the best mobile phone for under €450.

    Excellent value for money 10/10

    I think it's an excellent phone. Its standout feature is the screen, which is incredibly smooth. Even though there are only two cameras without a telephoto lens, they take very good photos from both sides. The front camera, with the help of AI, looks fantastic. It's a great option if you can't afford the regular or Pro version of the Pixel 9 series, as it offers the same features as the new Pixel 10a. For me, it's a 10/10.

    Well

    It's a very good phone and would be perfect if it weren't for three factors: 1. It overheats too much; 2. The bezels are unbearable; 3. Charging is not fast at all and takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours to charge.

    Nice phone, comfortable to use.

    Everything is fine with it. Modern design, fast performance, and a trouble-free system. However, regarding the battery, I'm changing my opinion because the system has been improved and the battery life is very good. Brilliant AI, modern features. I'm very satisfied. Two months after purchasing the device, it has improved significantly.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
