I have 5a 5G and I wouldn't buy this phone again. The battery life is good but the phone is physically heavy. Most annoying is that it often refuses to respond to screen taps or the power button push. Sometimes I will have to poke at something on screen 4, 5 or 6 times until it finally responds, which gets frustrating.

According to GSMArena, the pixel 5a 5g weighs only 6.46 ounces. It is lighter than my larger screen Samsung and Motorola phones. Apple iPhone 11 with a 6.1" screen weighs 6.84 ounces.

A question - does Fi promotion usual require using the phone you bought? ie. Do I have to use the discounted phone with the Fi for the 4 months period? (Having to activate the phone on Fi is fine)
Terms said "Activate the phone on a new full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and keep the qualifying phone active on Google Fi for 120 consecutive days."
But wanna know data points / experience.

Yes, you can. I had bought the Fi version 5a from Google store and used it on a TMobile MVNO. Just make sure, you activate and use the Fi line on this new Pixel 5a for the 4 months (either Fi eSIM or physical), with your other line being TMo.

Beware, Fi 5a does not work with Xfinity Mobile. With Verizon, it works fine if you provision it as CDMA-less when activating.

From the site:

How do I qualify for the $150 discount?
You must be a new Fi customer. A new Fi customer is someone who has never had Fi service or someone whose last day of Fi service took place more than 180 days before making a purchase with this promotion.
To qualify for the full $150 discount, you need to:
Activate the phone on a new full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and keep the qualifying phone active on Google Fi for 90 consecutive days.
You must activate on the same Fi account used to purchase the phone or be a new member of the purchaser's group plan.
You must also bring/transfer your number to Fi within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email. Fi-to-Fi number transfers are not eligible.
The discounted price will automatically apply during checkout. If you do not meet the conditions above, $150 will be charged to your Google Pay account.
