Especially day to day performance (non-games) and battery backup. Will do. There's a feature called Adaptive Battery which I am not sure is a Pixel only feature or not but it detects your usage and decides which app should be given priority in performance and which app shouldn't be. People say that improves Battery backup but yeah I can only update that after a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we can never have good things. Couldn't agree more with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to open boxes and replace them with faulty ones and ask for refund. https://www.businesstoday.in/current/economy-politics/delhi-man-cheats-amazon-166-phones-refund/story/261811.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm myself from Delhi but sad to say somehow all this happens mostly in Delhi only. Conning a fellow individual is considered worth bragging. The ethics of the people our country has to be at a global low. Edited October 19, 2020 by blitzkreiig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had also kept Rs 10 lakh with someone for safekeeping. The report on Hindustan Times mentions that even after creating so many profiles, Chopra's biggest flaw was that he did not create a new name each time. Although he was using a fake name, Shubham, it didn't take authorities long to figure out that it sounded very similar to his real name. He had 40 bank accounts? Holy sh*t.

People even used to pay the delivery boys some amount to unbox the phone, deliver the phone, keep a brick in the outer box and deliver the box again. This way, they can make an unboxing video and claim a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) I am sure this sh*t happens elsewhere too - ethical and moral issues don't have a MADE IN INDIA stamp. It's just that in India, they can get away with taking away basic rights since nobody offered them before, whereas in US and many other countries, they will either lose business if they don't allow such claims or they are bound by law (EU) to honor returns and refunds for extended period of time. You can literally see f**ktons of people in the US using a phone for 30 days, saying AH, I DON"T LIKE IT, and returning to the seller. Then there are sh*t ton of sites offering carding, getting refunds etc, specially out of US - all illegal stuff. People are assholes, and they will try to scam companies regardless of country. Maybe the instances are higher in India, but this is not an India specific issue. Edited October 19, 2020 by Bird Bird Bird 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait was tough. Opening the phone wasn't because it wasn't packed well from Flipkart. The Good : Camera ofcourse. Day and Night difference from my previous phone which was OnePlus 7 (non-pro). Haptic feedback is awesome. Gives a premium feel while using the phone, specially typing. Form factor of 5.81 inch is a refreshing change from all the phablet phones out there. Phone is light weight and cute. Battery is also one of the pros of the phone. 3100 mah which is less as per 2020 standards where 4000 is a pretty common but Pixel 4A should easily lasts a day. I am at 2.5 hours screen time with 65% remaining. The bad : CHARGING SPEED is criminally low. and that's the only major flaw. 18W fast charger is slow AF. No inbuilt voice recorder which I always liked in OnePlus phones. Dual speakers are nice but could have been better. Overall : Loving the phone and bought an mi power bank of 10k mah just in case I run out of battery. Awesome. Like @Bird Bird Bird said, welcome to the Pixel family. I agree, for anyone coming from a OP phone, the charging speed will be slower. Glad to hear about the haptic feedback. How is the screen, though? BTW, Google has one of the best recorder-apps. But yeah, I don't think it's in-built, but has to be downloaded. And my 4a was just shipped today. According to the tracking, it's in Mumbai, so I'm guessing it'll be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully.

PSFooty7 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Any of you bought any mobiles from Flipkart along with the Smart Upgrafe offer? I am asking because I bought the Samsung S20 plus along with the Smart Upgrade Add-on but paid the full amount at checkout. When I received my phone, I started getting constant Flipkart notifications on restart telling me either to upgrade or pay the balance amount which does not even apply to me as I have paid the full amount in the beginning only. The customer care is useless telling me to pay the balance amount to get rid of it or that as I opted for Smart Upgrade add-on it is going to show the notification. I am seriously considering returning the phone. Any advice is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSFooty7 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Man that must be annoying.....Do they accept returns?I have till 23 Oct to apply for return but the thing is the phone is performing perfectly fine with only this minor annoyance irritating me. I also don’t know if after 1 year if they will lock the device and tell to pay 15k again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment you add SU, it'll decrease the price to 35k-ish. Else you gotta delete the SU addon to pay full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSFooty7 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 When you exchange an old mobile, even though the smart upgrade add-on gets added it can’t get activated as it’s written in terms and conditions.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSFooty7 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Then why the hell did you take smart upgrade? For ₹200 I had the option to return the phone after 1 year or upgrade it so I took the option. But if any type of exchange voids the offer then it shouldn’t matter right?

Samsung Website gives the best value for exchange so it is more sensible to buy a samsung phone on sale from Flipkart and exchange it on Samsung when they have a new launch. I Got 51K exchange value on my 10 months old Note 10+ which i bought for 68K after all discounts. Along with this 51K, I got the vouchers worth 10K which I used to buy Galaxy buds+ and got another voucher worth 1800 later on. So in total Sammy gave me a value of 62.8K on my 68K phone. Pretty darn good. Only reason why I upgraded to Note 20 Ultra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
