Beat the Bloat

sapphiresea . 7 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

What a terrific phone! This is the first Google Pixel I've had, switching over from a Samsung Galaxy. This is pretty much the perfect phone in imo: beautiful design, more compact size, gorgeous graphics, faster than imagined, the easiest set-up every. I always dread the initial set-up/transfer with a new phone. This time I linked the two phones, touched the screens as instructed, and voila. It's absolutely seamless! Okay, it has been four years since I bought a new phone so things are better-faster-sleeker. And the more streamlined Google Pixel experience is 100% preferable to the Samsung "bloat." NEVER going back.

One Star So Far

I received a refurbished Pixel 9A model because the battery gets hot when charging. I now have to waste my time scheduling an appointment to go to 100 Wall St, NYC to pick up a NEW Pixel 9A. So far you rate 1 STAR.

Awesome phone. Easy to use, speedy and great camera.

Trade in value

M morrison . 8 months ago

The new phone is fine and meets my needs. I’m very disappointed that the value of my trade in was reduced so drastically without any explanation. It still worked and spent its life in a protective case with a screen shield, so if there is something about that model that reduces its value I should have been warned when I accepted the deal. Yes, I understand I have no real recourse.

Compact and lightweight

Nate . 8 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Pixel 9a is more compact and lightweight, not so oversized and heavy like so many phones today are.

Great phone

Deepthi . 9 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Great phone. I especially like Google Pixel 9A because of the great quality and reasonable price. Love the battery life.
