Turn off the 5G unless I want to use it for some reason, keeps the phone cool.
Initially, had the unlock greyed out like most but after the June update, I factory reset the phone, went thru setup without sim, and did not turn on the wifi till after "preparing phone" ended. Then enabled dev mode and it was ok, then copied the old phone over, rebooted then put the sim in. I'm using Mint mobile if that matters.
$400 for repair, yikes, I paid $450 new on launch. I just googled and see a handful of post on XDA and Reddit, I wouldn't consider that widespread.
Widespread -Trust me Bro
You sound like a focus group alphabet bot.
(even though they sell theirs, their EIAN number check fails on this phone and CSR has no way of circumventing it)
(I expect them to update their stupid database)
Pros (that I've noticed):
- OS upgrades until 2024 and security updates until 2026
- Much bigger battery
- Better camera specs (I haven't exercised this too much)
- IP67
- Seems smoother, but my 4a could probably benefit from a factory reset
- No dedicated fingerprint sensor (I don't do biometrics, so I prefer to lose that dirt magnet)
- 5G (though I don't actually notice much difference in practice)
Cons:
- Bigger phone (I didn't need a bigger phone but a bigger screen is nice; net negative for me)
- Feels cheaper (hollow sound when I tap on the screen)
- No headphone jack (it's a nice to have but not a deal-breaker anymore)
That's all that comes to mind atm. I'm maybe not a typical user, but I figured atypical feedback might be of use. Overall I'm happy I upgraded with the deal (included free pixel buds), but I probably would've waited for 7a otherwise.

As per actual use for this phone I can't comment more than what I use it for. It was replacing my reliable pixel 3a (purchased on ebay for $42 two years ago priced as a cracked screen when all it had was some barely noticeable screen edge bleed when off.)
Being that it's running stock only android 12 right now the phone was literally unboxed, turned on & then tossed to the side within 15 minutes. The most anti-climatic unboxing I've had in awhile.
Currently for my uses as a backup it's barely adequate I guess?
My quick cons: It's slightly heavier than the 3a
the fingerprint reader is unreliable(but I feel not as bad as it's made out to be. Unless coming from a top-tier flagship?)
Pros- good screen to size ratio
good pocketable sized phone.
No noticeable lag.
5g
Given the $300 trade-in value offered for that 3a I felt I just had to bit.
As per my use of a backup phone it's pretty much a downgrade but that new 5yr support was my clincher.
edit - they fixed the bootloader toggle via an update. Nice. Now to sit in a drawer & wait on the calyxos crew.
