i'm 4 months in, coming from the 3a to 5a, and hate this thing. I swear the 2 year old 3a performed daily tasks more reliably.
The camera and battery are better, but overall it's not much of an upgrade. I never thought I'd consider moving to an iphone, but this thing has me cursing android.

Strange. I went from the 3 to the 5a and think it's a significant upgrade (except for lack of wireless charging). I'm really enjoying the 5a.

Same here...The 5a is my favorite Pixel of all time. Like it much better than the 6 Pro I sold...

If you're not desperate, $150 off is still not a deal.

Same. Love the 5a that I bought with the 3 month trial of Google Fi in November. Much to my surprise Google tried to charge me $70 in December for service. When I contacted Google Fi customer service, the agent redefined the 3 month free trial as pay 3 months, then get 3 months for free.

I said "Fi that" and canceled service immediately.

5a is an awesome phone though. Use it way more than my iPhone 12.

Don't know what you're talking about. $299 is a steal for 5a.

I grabbed a 5a 5g during the Black Friday sale and I'm extremely pleased. Especially for the price, a super solid phone for me so far.

It was $399 during Dec for the unlocked and had inflated trade in value. Like $320 for iPhone XR.
I can't convince this is a deal as it is $299+$60 for service for three mos before you could take it elsewhere.
Also the trade in with FI was horrible, like $135 for the iphone XR and you could get $230 trade in for the unlocked 5a at Google site.

I read that the latest update have improved them. But Tensor is the future and typically asks you to pound sand as they like so I couldn't count on 5a being supported with all the feature drops.

If you can get one with Tensor chip and they would iron out issues. Same can't be said on the SD chipsets
