Wish this price was available much sooner. However, I do own this phone. In general, great phone. And you can search online for these issues, but my issues have been:
- huge battery drain if 5G is enabled; my solution is disabling 5G and I just do 4G LTE. this makes a big difference. I don't know why this has 5G if just having it enabled kills the battery. This is the case even just during idleness.
- GPS accuracy gets bad at times.. like real bad. sometimes it registers being off by a few hundred feet; this gets frustrating at times; ex: driving on the freeway.. then google maps shifts and thinks I'm on a side street off of the freeway
Great phone if you're in a location where you can shut off 5G. Otherwise, the battery drains fast.
Also, trade in values are higher on the pixel 7. Trading in an iPhone SE 2 made the pixel 7 a better deal for me.
No. Please save yourself a headache. I have been a Pixel 6a owner since its launch.

And a poor fingerprint scanner, and the processor runs hot.
