Quote from GingerGirl06 :
Smaller size factor for my in laws - they drop bigger devices - also lower base price if I don't want bill credits.

I do have to ask how u got a 4a for 200?
It was a Walmart online deal here on SD, was good for maybe 2 hours. Until the phone was oos. Some who ordered multiple phones were flagged, their order canceled.

Quote from Nattefrost :
is it worth upgrading from S8?
yes

Quote from Evo-IC :
I would argue for the 5G and the Camera, yes.
Everything else would be a push or in favor of the S8.

Larger internal storage with the Pixel, but expandable w/memory card on the S8.
Larger battery on the Pixel, but better display on the S8.
It is just a list of potential trade-offs between them, so......just depends what you're looking for.
I've used a 4a for a couple of weeks and its only disadvantage is no water resistance. Everything else is better on 4a than even my S9 and S9+ Samsung screens sure are nice although you should see how burned these AMOLED displays get, especially if used at higher brightness levels. I'm therefore more drawn to OLEDs. Now granted this is going to be a different OLED on this phone but if anything, it's expected to be similar or better quality, not worse.
Everything else is worse on Samsungs: Their OneUI is hated by more people than loved (I kind of liked it in the beginning but now it looks ugly, boring and feels like the reason the phone is slow. I mean they (both S9 and S9+) are slower on Android 10 than my Pixel 2 is on Android 11. No more OS updates, so S9, which has newer and undeniably better hardware is stuck on 10 and Nattefrost's S8 is what? Android 9? And my Pixel 2, which has older hardware (Snapdragon 835, same as S8) received Android 11 the day it came out and it works better, smoother and faster than both my S9s with their OneUI on Android 10. And then there's camera software... in my mind there's simply no comparison: it's google or bust, hands down. Samsung's photo computations seem almost revolting to me, I'm simply waiting for a proper google camera port to wipe this apology of an OS from them and go with something CAF-optimized/LineageOS/AOSP, which is what I have running on my good old Nexus 6 and 6p. They do surprisingly well running Android 10 with google camera port

Quote from flashfir :
gucci'd hahahaha

15 a month for 2gb then my partner can tether off my work SIM with basically unlimited data... sounds like that could work for us although it would be a 2 year commitment
isn't that a prepaid plan?

Quote from Arcanlaw :
Kind of want...

But my 2XL is still working perfectly for me. Do I dare give it up?!?
this will have a better camera with an extra lens, although I'd prefer a telephoto instead of an ultrawide. It really feels like Apple is doing it to incentivize upgrading to their pro models that have all 3 lenses and Google is being a copycat without the strategy. But before making this decision, try a newer google camera app. I have the small Pixel 2 and that's what I'm doing with it and the pictures it takes that way, especially night mode, puts my S9's to shame

Quote from HurricaneAlley :
This is too expensive, the 3a deal was just tradein of original pixel free on eip, this aal will be erased and replaced with no aal...just wait for it
I tried a 3a XL last year and it felt revolting, as nothing worked right, the screen was the worst I've seen in years, whereas 4a is simply a great phone

it says get up to half off the Google Pixel 4a 5G when they trade in an eligible device OR add a line – the choice is theirs! :/.... so some phones will not get the entire 50% off.. i have a pixel 2xl and i like using it but would like to upgrade to 4 a just to get the security updates for the next 3 yrs.

Up to. Sneaky fine print and good catch. The offer starts on 11/13 online and 11/20 in store. I asked about an end date and nothing given yet.

I am going to wait to get some additional details on the trade-in as well. My 2XL is in pristine condition and still gets decent battery life, so the only reason for me to upgrade is the lack of security updates. If the trade in value is 50% for the 2XL, I will definitely trade it in. I also have my daughter's old 2XL with a cracked screen that still works and may trade that instead, depending upon the fine print with the trade in. I suppose we are in a holding pattern until more details are released on the 13th.

Are these phones really going to sell? Hoping for a straight up Costco deal with no credits or new lines, just like the Pixel 4 was.

... I think I would keep the pixel 1 to keep unlimited OG photos upload..
Yep that's a good reason for the OG1 Pixel. Only remaining Pixel with no expiring OG quality backups.

As of June 2021: Google Photos going to limited backup scheme unless we have a Pixel 1-5:

1/2 off is terrible, here's hoping they throw a loyalty bonus like they did with the Apple deal. My wife's been wanting this but it's not a $250 upgrade over the 3a she has.

If the 4a 5g had wireless charging I'd be all over this deal. I have a Pixel 3xl and love it and the wireless charging. It's so convenient that I can't give up that feature.

The post says you can add a line or trade in so I might just add a line and then cancel the first line. Will this promo also be on Sprint?

While we're dreaming, I'd like to add higher storage options such as 256GB or 512GB I'd gladly pay another $100-$200 for this.
