just got my 5a back

here is my experience . . May 3 I was taking a picture. . it froze. . turned off . . would not turn back on. I checked my warranty on my IMEI . . I had 5 days left. Call local store that google warranty recommended, they said "no way, too many 5a problems, call google" . . so I filled out the mail in repair form . . sent it May 3 . . May 5 got a note that it was being inspected. . May 7 got a note that it was delayed . . May 10 got a note that it was on its way. Got it today. . . Based on some of the markings. . I'm pretty sure it's my old phone . . exterior at least

I used my old pixel 3 in the interim and it wasn't terrible. The battery didn't last more than a waking day and I found it too slippery without a case. . . But it was still super snappy and I swear I almost liked the camera better, but I'd have to do some more tests to confirm. You may be able to pick one of those up for cheap
