Recently my old Google Nexus 5 phone quit after five years of dutiful service, so I went looking for a new phone. I was completely blown away by how competitive the Android world has become and much prices have come down.
In the end I have decided for an Honor 9 Lite that cost me a measly 159 Euros. The result? It is the best phone I've ever had and I am not missing anything.
So, I cannot see why anyone would want to spend more on an Android phone these days. What additional value does a Pixel 3a give me that would justify an almost 3x premium?

- Ajedi32 7y agoConsidering GP was still using the Nexus 5 two years after Google dropped support for it, I doubt that matters too much to him.
- abrugsch 7y agoAlmost the exact same experience here... Though was a N5X not a N5 and the 9 lite was £120 but it's been a great phone for the money and gets updates with Pie coming in june/July. Bootloader is locked though so once updates stop it's recycle fodder and by then there might be a goog phone I like again.
