It's unlocked (not tied to a network), meaning you can put any sim card in it and it will work.

You can get a 7 Pro used in like new condition for this price. Big pass on the 7a in Q3 2024 at this price.

OnePlus 12 has an IP65 water resistance rating — and that's not good enough



https://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/...?rdt=41080


Anyone considering the more expensive phone should consider IP65 rating . Not as good as a pixel 7a as the sony can barely take a splash of water vs pixel 7a can go into 1 meter of water


The Google Pixel 7a has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating. Technically this means that the Pixel 7a should be able to survive encounters with spilled liquids and even being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for no more than 30 minutes, based on the current requirements for the rating.

these tensor chips are garbage, terrible battery and slow. firsthand from my pixel tablet. and take a week to charge.

theres a reason these pixel phones are cheap theyre junk. 6.1" display in 2024...and i hate the pastel theme ick. and no micro sd card only 128gb slot really?

How fast does the Pixel 7a charge? You'll be ready to go in just under two hours to go from 0 to 100%. The Pixel 7a needs around 1 hour and 59 minutes to fully charge its battery


Good enough for me , i dont live on my phone 24/7 or play games. They make real portable gaming devices now

Just a heads-up, there's a $45 restocking fee if you return the 7a, not so with Amazon. I'm risking it because I see no reason that I won't like it. I'm trading in my mom's 4a 5g for $55 as well. That brings my total down to $187.74 after tax.

Am I the only one who passes on any Best Buy deal due to their industry-worst return policy? I just can't be bothered... All I can say to anyone buying this, read the fine print of all their policies so you aren't surprised. BB lurkers gonna TD the hell outta this.

takes like 20 minutes 0-100 on my 12r. 5-10 minutes will give like 60% in the easier 20-80% charge band. granted, 350 phone in another price class altho, this 229 pixel is usually priced higher.

fast charging changes your lifestyle i dont even bother charging at night anymore half the time. that said it reaches a point of diminishing returns. 30 minutes or 20 minutes or even 40-60 minutes doesnt matter much imo. but i think 2hrs is still on the bad side of it.

If you purchase at Best Buy and use their link to upgrade your Verizon account, how long does the original Verizon device stay active?

I can't imagine that it deactivates your original immediately but ....

Thank you,

I dont sit on my phone 24/7 and dont mind charging as it takes 2 seconds to plug in or drop on a wireless charger.

I like my phones waterproof and like wireless charging that phone you mentioned doesnt do either

Phones have become throw away items after 2years and as long as i can easily mod my phone with a different OS or get up to android 16 i am pretty happy with this deal
I have portable gaming devices if i travel,
also they make portable lithium fast charger battery packs so charging for me is not an issue

I think you could buy the $100 Best Buy gift cards for $90 on Amazon and save even more with multiple accounts.
