AI Summary:
The article discusses the issues with Google’s Pixel 4a battery update. The update has caused drastically reduced battery life for many users, with some experiencing only two hours of charge. Google has offered three options for affected users: a battery replacement, $50, or $100 in Google Store credit. However, the update has been criticized for its lack of transparency and the inconvenience it has caused. Additionally, the update was built on a personal machine, not the proper build system, and has led to confusion and frustration among users.
Well I can’t say that. I got an 8a and honestly it’s been a solid upgrade in all regards. It is a little bit too big for me (4a was sized perfectly) but other than that, I enjoy 8a more.
What improvements do you like? Maybe there’s something I’m overlooking. I also agree on size, i really didn’t want anything larger than the 4a and the 8 was the closest i could find.
The metal frame makes the phone feel much more solid. The 120 Hz screen is an incredible improvement, 60 Hz screens feel laggy now. The camera is noticeably better, I’ve always considered 4a’s camera to be way above its price range in terms of quality but 8a beats it. And also I like that 8a comes in mint, that’s always been my favorite color.
