I have a three year old low-end to midrange phone (Pixel 4A). If I got a new phone, it would do the same things a little faster and have a better camera. It would probably be bigger when I'd rather it be a little smaller, and it probably wouldn't have a headphone jack, which I use.
I'd be reluctant to take a new phone if it was free. I'm certainly not going to buy one until I have to.
- pmontra 3y agoAdd two more points to the list: 1. It won't have a slot for a micro SD card, which is handy. 2. It will be much heavier and this is much more important than point 1. They are doing their best not to part me from my money.
- alphabettsy 3y agoWhy would it be much heavier? I might be remembering wrong, but the Pixel 4 didn’t have an SD card slot.
- Zak 3y agoA Pixel 7A is 35% heavier than a 4A. No Pixel has an SD slot that I know of.
- alphabettsy 3y agoThey don’t have to choose a Pixel 7A, but fair enough.
- Zak 3y agoI just used it because it's in the same model line, but here's a search on GSMArena for smartphones introduced this year within 10% of the 4A's weight. There are only two, and incidentally both have a headphone jack and SD slot. https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&nWeightMax=160&sFormFactors=1&sOSes=2,3 https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&nWeightM...
- pmontra 3y agoI checked and found that the Pixel 4 is 162 grams. That's already too heavy for me. It's becoming common to have 200 grams phones. My current phone weighs 140 grams. I couldn't find any lighter Android phone.
- bombcar 3y agoThe iPhone 15 is 171 grams for comparison. The pro max super duper is 220. SE is 144.
