$499 - $100 Store Credit - $50 Statement Credit = $349 - $180 Trade-In Pixel 6A = $169. I went for it. I thought about the Pixel 8 when it was $549. The numbers look better with the 8A. I forgot to mention interest free 24 months.

7 years of OS updates compared to only 3 on Pixel 7a is definitely a big upgrade!
@moto-rambler 24 күн бұрын
Those years are for symbolic purposes only. Google will slow your phone down to a crawl with each major OS 'update'. It will be unusable after 3 years-ish.

@katinasoutherland7693 27 күн бұрын
This is so crazy to me how anyone can have this kind of response to software support. Samsung was the worst at it for years & years charging 1000+ bucks for a phone that wouldn't last 3 years, Google always gave 3+3.
@superiortoall22 27 күн бұрын
@@katinasoutherland7693 trust me, I’ve had my schpill with Sony, Red Magic, Zubia, etc for their lack of support however at least they’re upfront with their short support. Going from 3 years of support to 7 years suddenly seems like a cash grab, especially with Googles history of canceling projects and with their 7 series and regular 8 pixel already not receiving certain updates even though they can easily handle those features.
@someoneelse1550 27 күн бұрын
7 years of support means 7 years of software updates - this means android it'll get up to android 21. Not that it'll get every feature drop for the next 7 years.
@superiortoall22 27 күн бұрын
@@someoneelse1550 there should be no reason why the 8 or 7 series shouldn’t be getting feature drops. If they aren’t getting those drops on simple updates then trying to put Android 19 or 20 on a 5 or 6 year phone doesn’t seem believable. Implementing these updates on older phones are complicated and ends up being more costly. That’s why phone manufacturers except for Apple haven’t been doing it for a while

I'm really disappointed with Google. I bought a Pixel 7 last year thinking it would get all the latest features since everyone always said they supported updates for years... Now even their middle range phone is getting the latest photo and video editing features, but my phone won't. It's looking more and more like Apple's devices.
@hungrydavo 27 күн бұрын
There are limits to what they can bring to older phones, without it being a terrible experience. But ultimately they need to differentiate the phones or you won't ever buy a new one 😂. I think they do a good job to keep supporting the older phones, having moved from Samsung.
@townee23 27 күн бұрын
still limited storage. no microsd.
@hungrydavo 27 күн бұрын
Not a really desired feature to have MicroSD, and I don't want to pay extra for that. Some other providers offer that, but they are poor sellers. Google is more about cloud storage/features.
@sk6056 27 күн бұрын
I disagree w/ other user about it not being a desired feature, I still love mine on my back-up phones. I would love it on this or switch to Samsung in a heartbeat if they brought back card storage. Or a removable battery. But alas, they're NEVER going back to the sd or any other insert-able/removable storage media . They want total control of the phone, data, and the $$ that they charge for upgraded storage.
