Google Pixel 6a

[anthonygreenisreal]

I bought my 4a at launch price, and earlier in the thread I said that $499 was a great price for the 6a.

Trying to cancel my Amazon order and snag the Courts one.

I got it in Amazon for $398 with the free Google case. Thinking of returning the Google case for refund. Then I can bring the overall price down to $364.

If the case is free, I don't think you will get any value from returning it because it's a promotional bundle.

the greed of some people is beyond logical understanding. these must be the same type of people who lowball $1 on Carousell listings

what for? FYI I ordered from Courts on Fri 4.30pm, don't think their staff handling online sales work over the wkend, I only received an order confirmation, no indication of delivery date at all. Probably they only work on it on Monday.
When I ordered my case on Fri night from Amazon, I received the case next day morning Sat.

Cos my Amazon order is $498. It's a full $100 off.

Also, my Amazon delivery is slated for 3 Nov, could be earlier but still...

398 pretty decent I agree...
Thinking if makes sense to replace my s10 with this... it's still performing well and I will definitely miss the hot swappable micro SD slot, and the 3.5mm audio port..

yes, missing 3.5mm available on my previous devices

can consider a bluetooth receiver, got this recently, around $20 plus only, working well with the pixel 6a; has multipoint also, paired to both pixel 6a and iphone se seamlessly

Some Bluetooth headphones/headsets also have multipoint support.

Thanks for the recommendation! How about micro SD? Use google drive?

I use OneDrive since I have a paid subscription, - office 365 split among the family is under $25/year with MS Office. Data plans are big enough to upload and manage device capacity. Google One is also an option since they have revised their plans to be quite a bit more competitive.

Some people have NASes, so those with Synology NASes can use the software.

Can look at the usual suspects, dropbox, google drive, onedrive

I use onedrive, there is a camera upload feature, toggle to turn on sync

Seems it doesn't upload until i open onedrive though

1 good feature, clean up space on your device, can delete photos already uploaded to cloud

I remember seeing someone saying that Simba (TPG) doesn't work with the native phone app but I manage to receive a miss call and call back using the phone app this morning.

So you can confirm it works with SIMBA? Interesting.

It still doesn't work with the 4a, I just tested it.

I did install the Simba app but my missed call and actual call is through the phone app. I was surprised also. I will try making a call again tomorrow to test it.

I find the battery to be draining a bit fast. Used apps like shopee, Amazon and Zalora which drained quite a big chunk of the battery. Usually charge when battery reach 30% and stop when 90+%.

Let me guess...new Pixel 6a user ?

3.5mm is nostalgic but let's face it, it is the past

We have to move on and accept Bluetooth headsets

No point hanging on to the past
