Google Pixel 6a

[Advancer]

I went to get a feel of the Pixel 6a yesterday at Challenger Bugis. The Google sales rep was surprised that the magic eraser feature disappeared from the photo edit. She said the feature was there earlier in the day. Did the feature disappear from a recent android update?

How does the phone feel?

Demo unit anything can happened. maybe server-side remotely removed and will reappears later. also a restart may resolve the issue

Was the sale rep chio????

not chio. She is a tall, Indian and nerdy with spec kinda girl. She was wearing the grey google t shirt too.

With my short time with the phone, I felt that is a lightweight and comfortable phone with quite a good OLED display. The UI animations not so snappy though. But I feel it’s my kind of phone that is compact and lightweight with sufficient performance.

Oh man I should had told her to try restart the phone. It happened to the display unit and the pixel 6a she kept in her pocket. Tried taking photo and edit and also no magic eraser.

Compact and light, s22 might be a better choice as it's even more compact and lighter than pixel 6a.

It's still the same Tensor soc from the previous phones, one should wait for Tensor gen 2 if they expected things to be fundamentally different. I'm not defending Google, just being realistic. They don't exactly have the best track record in hardware.

Tensor exynos is a mistake

We'll never know the main reason or reasons google die die stick to using exynos instead of qualcomm. maybe buy bulk displays, rams and modems cheaper. google is a sw company, hence hw-wise lack expertise bah. we've seen the company build its own chips like the pixel visual and neural core with a lot of success. perhaps designing a soc using exynos semi-custom design can save time and money for google. plus using samsung modem could also reduce connectivity issues. and google concentrate perfecting their computational photography/AI/ML. like I said from the beginning, we'll never know...

Who knows that Google may even ditch Pixel phones all together

Most likely Samsung quote them the cheapest to use exynos as base for fab.

don think they will ditch. rebranding more possible
