Pixel 9a

Got mine delivered yesterday all good!

yes

Hey all, does anyone know please how long does it typically take to get a handset delivered from Vodafone's website? I order one on 29th January, got an order confirmation but still haven't got a despatched email. I finally got onto someone on chat on 6th Feb and was advised it was "in the delivery stage, however the order is delayed and should be delivered in a few days".

seen this before. basically means their system has glitched out. i doubt you are getting it. sorry

yeah. sorry.

Not really a fair comparison thats a flag ship phone that was 3x the price when launched. The 9a is a budget phone.

Auto dim is just a setting you can turn off. Pixel phones are not stock android anymore like they used to be. They've been locking features for a while. The rest of it is just personal choice around OS skins.

But we all have things we like and don't like. It's ok not to like it. I miss features from my previous Xiaomi but don't miss the bloat and ads on that phone.

I think the 9a is a solid budget phone. Theres a lot of competition these days though.

It's not really a budget phone though. The recommended price is €400. I would budget phones in the €150 - €250 category.

I bought the one plus for €200 new on Amazon. The phone dims randomly whether you have auto dim on or off. Seems to be a fairly common problem with this model.

I think, bar the camera, that my redmi note 10 phone was easily as good as it.

Ordered just before 3pm dispatched at 5.30.

I did have to press the continue button a few times or refresh the page, used a new email, names and disposable revolte card no issues...

Oh I switched using a three SIM I had when I got the 7a deal 2 years ago, I knew it would come in handy at some stage.

I'll keep the Vodafone SIM that comes with this phone, waiting for the next deal 😄

There's no workaround. It keeps happening. Resetting adaptive brightness works for a while then it will randomly dim later on. It happens at least 4 or 5 times a day.

I have 2 pixel 9a's a work one and a weekend one, and never noticed this brightness issue, not sure what mine is set to

Auto brightness is a must on phones as outdoor use and bedtime use require very different brightness settings

Just ordered online. DPD confirmed delivery tomorrow.

Had to create a new email and it works wtf. Old one was Gmail and so was new one

Definitely. It's 400 quid on Google store.

For that luxury of extra space you shall pay for cloud storage

Sure if your a "spec purist" its arguable the 7a has the bigger sensor.

But given the target market for A-series phones are cost conscious buyers, the 9a is the better camera system because its vastly superior AI processing and extra features more than make up for the slight reduction in sensor size. For the average user, their photos will have much better light balance and better colour accuracy. 9a also has a macro focus mode for great closeups.

9a also has significantly improved video stabilisation over the 7a. Also supports HDR video, which the 7a does not.
