Nikushimi Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 40k for a phone with the same Sony imx sensor as the previous pixels. I know image processing is Google's thing, but this is getting ridiculous. I'm glad I went with the S22U instead of waiting for Google to release their flagship pixel in India.

eddy4823 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 4a was priced equally in India and Canada. 6a is 36k INR in Canada so should be the same in India. (even less with cards and discounts). 60 Hz is not a bad thing at all. If one can justify paying 30k for Pixel 4a (which was a huge hit in India), paying 36k for 6a isn't a bad deal imo. A better battery, Tensor chip, Ultrawide Camera is a good upgrade from Pixel 4a. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Paying 30K+ in 2022 for a 60 HZ is lolworthy, no two ways about it Edited May 14, 2022 by Sach4life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelivolusDas Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Pretty sure the 6a will be in the ₹35k to ₹40k bracket. For that price, here are the list of cons: - Same old Gorilla Glass 3 on the front - Same old camera sensor (IMX383) - 6GB RAM - 60Hz display If it launches at 40k, I think the Pixel 6 is a better buy (and I'm considering it seriously), which can be purchased for around 48k (currently, with a potential to drop in prices furthermore). It's obviously better in all the aspects I've listed above and the fingerprint scanner issues are fixed to a certain extent with software updates (still slower than industry standard). The only drawback is no official warranty. But when purchased with a bit of due diligence, I think it's fine. My wife's 4a (5G) is working perfectly fine.

I think Google will soon move away from 6/6 Pro, their bandwidth is clearly focused on 7 series given the disaster of a launch for 6 series, the issues were endless. I don't find 6 a great buy. A slow fingerprint reader reduces every day use quality by a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KunjanPSD Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Ended up getting A33 5G. Galaxy store just can't stop auto loading apps. Have disabled all permissions and everything, still once in a while it does this. How to stop this f**king app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel anyways don't have a service center in India. they provide pick and drop facility which I don't know how reliable is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel does have tie up with B2X, who do pick up, drop off and limited repair services. I've used them twice, and they have been impressive.

makdi_man Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hiya, folks! Any decent non-Chinese, non-Samsung android around 25K. I am tired of Samsung's bloatware and ads. Thinking about purchasing stock android. Other than Nokia there seems to be no non-Chinese stock android phones. Anyone here with experience with Nokia android phones. How's LG's UI. Is it as bad as Samsung's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Moto and Oneplus are the only bloatware free, ad free manufacturers in the Android world right now. Sad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
