Pixel 8A

Are you not going to get caught for import charges with that?

Thanks for posting Amazon offer. Got it for €275 but not being delivered until 1st Feb but will take it at that price

Was about to order and got the prompt for the OTP, haven't used this before and am very hesitant 😟

Signature or one-time password required at time of delivery

Please ensure someone will be physically present to provide the confidential one-time password or signature for this delivery in-person, and not over phone or intercom. Learn more.

Hi sorry only getting a chance to reply now.

The phone was €410 but there was €150 off over Christmas if you switched from another network so it was down to €260, it went up last week to €300. The €20 Elverys voucher on Three+ was a one off and the €10 is for when you register a new Three sim on Three+.

The Amazon deal posted above is the better deal now, I think if you pay in £ not € it may work out slightly cheaper. Also what you see at checkout on amazon is the final price, no surprises.

This deal is great timing for pixel 4a refugees.

For anyone interest I'll give you a laugh on this.

Contacted Google support on this and I think it's a bug with Pixels. No issues with other android phones I have tried.

Guy on support trying to convince me it will only work on the 2017 Ford Kuga (we have a 2018). Same with all other car models. Couldn't get his head around the compatibility date is 2017 - i.e. onwards

Is anyone struggling with the slow charging?

I was about to bite when I read about the 18w charging and a full charge can take over 2hrs!! 2hrs seems crazy to me.

Btw, I had something like this before, using android auto wired so everything seemed correct, turned out BT wasn't enabled. Enabling it sorted out the issue….

Yes. It's very slow. I did not think I would notice it as I usually just connect and forget, but it is still noticeably slow.

But what is truly bad is the optical fingerprint sensor. If you put a screen protector on it barely ever works. It's just the Pixel 8a though, optical fingerprint sensors are bad not great general. Ultrasonic is considered to be better; and it does not require lighting up the screen.

It is useless. They should have kept the sensor on the back, or added one into the power button. The only reason unlocking the 8a is tolerable is because it has face unlock.

When I put a screen protector on mine the phone actually detected it and asked if I wanted to enable screen protector mode. Might be worth a shot for anyone who hasn't seen the same prompt. You can search for it in the settings.

Thanks to the poster who told us about the Amazon deal, mine has dispatched so hopefully here next few days. £224 is a great price for it

I cancelled my 8a order and bought a "like new" Pixel 7 Pro for £270 instead mostly for the telephoto optical zoom camera and because Google said they'd be supporting it up to Android 18🤔

Interesting decision.
