Switched from a OnePlus 6 to a Pixel 3a: here's my thoughts

Hello everyone, if anyone was on the edge of doing a similar switch like me, feel free to give my post a read. I've made the switch mostly becuase the battery life on my OP was really bad after trying lots of stuff.

I saw the best buy deal and a friend of mine living in the US was coming to visit so I decided to give it a shot. (paid $330 final) it is also the 2nd phone I have bought in new condition. I sold my OP6 in $350 for a profit of $20 lol

I've had the phone for 2 days and I miss some O...

Nokia owners (past and present): What how would you rate (out of 10) each of the phones you've used?

Seems like Nokia is on a binge to promote the 7.2 (if you're currently browsing IMDB...you might have seen them)...and I wondered what the community thinks about them.

I have yet to give one with Android as its OS....and I must say...the 7.2 is looking good (I haven't checked its dimensions yet...and am hoping if it's not one of those small form factor phones...at least it might have a 'mini' version --- just like Sony does with the Xperia).

Are you using a Nokia at the moment...because they'...

I don't get why this sub has such an aversion for any form screen intrusion.

I've even seen people advocating for the removal of the front facing camera. How can you support the removal of the front facing camera but not the headphone jack? Makes no sense to me....

I am not a fan of AR but I absolutely love Google Lens!

I of course speak from a personal point of view, but I am not a big fan of AR or VR, to me pretty much all AR or VR apps are useless and I don't really like how much effort Google and Apple are putting into making really what I feel like useless apps that will be used once and never again by most. I've tried a few measuring apps, but when it's anything serious I always use a physical measuring tape. I've also tried some pointless "place this cute creature on the table" apps and uninstalled them ...

Chrome and current state of scrolling

I feel strongly that Google needs to really improve scrolling on Chrome. On my current Pixel 4 XL on JavaScript heavy sites, especially on sites with embedded videos or ads, touch scrolling stutters way too much. As an example, go to engadget.com and scroll to the bottom. When you get to the embedded video at the bottom, Chrome starts to stutter and it looks especially bad on a 90hz display. Even when I swipe from the home screen to go left to the Google feed, you can see it scroll stuttering wh...

Do Android versions even matter anymore?

To be honest as an Android user, it just seems like every year and every update is just refinements nothing really groundbreaking and breath taking anymore


Like you could legit use a Nougat phone right now in almost 2020 and you probably wouldn't miss much except dark mode but there's fixes for that


Does anyone else feel this way? Do Android updates matter anymore to yall?...

What can do on an $800 Android that you can't on an $80 Android?

Obviously, the $800 device will have a better screen more memory better and/more camera (s) and a faster processor. Maybe it'll even have a finger print scanner or wireless charging or lack of a headphone jack. But those are all improvements on the same functionality in an $80 Android. What things can you do on a premium device that you can't on a basic one or is Android pretty much the same and just faster or newer on better devices?...
