  • It’s hard for me as a value conscious person to recommend the 7a over the 6a even though I prefer the 7 a because of the wireless charging. But there’s ways to get the pixel 6a for $90 ( We’ll technically 50 but you have to buy a $40 plan). From metro pcs although you’ll have to wait 6 months to unlock it . But you only need to pay for the $40 plan onc.

    But even if you don’t want to deal with that hassle it’s easy to find it for under $200 on the reso market. Be by the holiday the pixel 7a will start to see sales for $350 or below. $250 on resale.

    It’s not that I even need wireless charging but I like to have it as a fail-safe in case the port breaks . It’s one of the most common things to break on a phone.



  • I’m going to keep using mine for a while. It’s not my only phone. I still use my LGV60 and my LG wing and a newer pixel sometimes. Those are all so big And I like the fact that the pixel 4a can fit in my front pocket.

    I’ll keep using them until the batteries aren’t workable anymore. Whatever risk there is with security patches I think is overshadowed by the environmental and financial downsides of tossing away perfectly good hardware.

    I’ll probably be fine using it for another year or so . As to what I would replace it with I’m not sure. Probably a used pixel just because they’re the best value proposition.

    So 5a has gets android, another year of updates and it can be a 100 Bucks on eBay. The pixel 6 and 6 pro are 200 to 275 on ebay and they are getting like 40 more months of updates.

    Samsung phones don’t have quite the same Compelling prices on the resal market .
