Google Pixel 5a
I got one in September 2023. Bought it second-hand refurbished from [[Backmarket]].
Deets
Release date
: [[2021]]
Purchasing decision
Mostly researched on [[sustaphones]] and some review sites.
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.
