Singapore is low SES market so we deserve these phones.

How is iPhone se a failure ?
From a business POV, Apple would be delighted with the money they have made from "recycled" parts.

Nice but see what they announce at Google I/O first. Of course pricing very important too.
Hoping it won't be a brick.

I can understand iphone se fatigue given not much has changed except for the SoC. Store reps say small screen is a possible reason for poor sales ? Hahaha, this is exactly why this model was released in the first place... for people who want smaller/cheaper iPhone. Given this model is targeted at the budget conscious users, I think phone fatigue and pandemic may have discouraged many from upgrading.

If they announce Pixel 6a on 11 May , and when is the earliest we can place order?

My realistic hopes for P6a :

Tensor GS101 SoC
6gb /128gb or 8gb /256gb
90hz 1080p 6.2" display
4000+ mah battery
Lighter than 180g
Same or cheaper than Pixel 5a

this specs too similar to pixel 6 already.


my guess:
- tensor gs101 (maybe clock lower speed?)
- 6+128 (1 config only)
- 90hz 1080p 6.0~6.2"
- reuse pixel 5's battery size? 4080mha
- no wireless charging
- Polycarbonate unibody
- reuse the old 12mp camera setup? (save cost??)

To add no face unlock

Hopefully not bigger screen and with a slight improve camera

Correct, assume if they launch here immediately. Will be able to place order right away?

That's shag, will wait for the pricing to be released before deciding Pixel 6 or 6a.
