Google Pixel 5a with 5G

[xonix]

google will be fortunate if it can compete with oneplus first in terms of availability

No way it can compete. You can get OnePlus phones both local and import sets easily.

Anyone planning to import this? I'm thinking either this or pixel 4a 5g.

just get the 5a unless you are into color.. the bigger battery capacity means more SOT.

 

[i_am_fatimah]

5a is going to be bulkier and heavier, im also contemplating

Not available in sg

How to compete with iPhone like that

Google is hinting that this is due to chipset supply bottlenecks

I also want to wait for p6, but my current phone's screen is dying soon. Is it better to buy via US or JP?

If I were buying, I would just buy from whichever is cheaper and easier to ship.

since when it compete with iphone?

Pixel is always competing with iPhone... Or else who are they competing it with? Every single smartphone makers, esp iPhone as the #1 rival

Also they're pricing it to be the same as iPhone se

It surprises me that such a big rich company has no strong knowledge after a decade of trying to seriously make a good phone.

Whereas Apple and samsung, or even oneplus, damn zai in their supply lol

I'm keen to get this phone coz I know pixel 6 won't be coming. But end up this also not coming... Who so stupid go buy an out dated 4a really

Love the metal back, bigger battery and cheaper MSRP. Will wait for Pixel 6 first though...

what to do, google always proud themselves on being a "software" company.

Likely the "whitechapel/tensor" chip was a afterthought after seeing apple came out with M1 than they start getting serious, before probably just ssrr only, play with hardware

It really comes as a surprise as they bought half of HTC right? Should be experienced.

Yes they see apple do own bionic and m1 chip then cannot lose so jump on the bandwagon to label as their own 'tensor chip', but a zhng version of samsung exynos. Only want to compete with iPhone but no substance. See iPhone have faceid and copy a cui one for pixel, then failed to impress and drop the idea... At least samsung smarter really

Idk why they buy HTC, that phones also cui

It's no wonder pixel is unable to sell well bc so many mistakes in the past smartphones. Even we know what we want for a smartphone! Then now want to buy pixel 6 or 5a but not selling here knn. Too bad I don't fancy ios haiz and hw no google store cannot buy. Like stuck at the Samsung only now and the flip I also don't like, later flip flip become 2 pieces lol

Hi, just wanna get some opinions from you guys.. I can get the 4a 5g at $654 with 1 year in house warranty.

Is that worth it or should I just get the 5a? Thanks!

 

[ThinkMe]

Both Google and Samsung have gotten drunk with 5a 5G and A52s

Samsung is a huge corporation with their own fabrication plant where even Apple has to source parts from them. Cannot compare. And don't underestimate OnePlus, their parent company ( BKK ) is huge in China. Oppo Vivo OnePlus Realme iQOO are all under it's control.

Only Apple is slightly similar to Google in the terms of their smartphone history. Even so, Apple started as a hardware company with Macs. Google being a software company has had to play catch ever since.

Yes, Google bought parts of HTC for their hardware divison. But the reason they could have bought the core design team was HTC was already failing with their own phones. So, forgive me if I don't have great confidence in Google's former HTC team
