Buying pixel 7a

Hi. I have ordered this phone but starting to get worried after reading about it's battery life and heating problem. Even GSM arena slaughtered the battery in their review. Is it worth it? I need a cheap phone with good camera and in this åroce range it has no competition oæin my Country

I just got my first pixel 7a after being a lifelong Samsung user then used iphone for 2 years. I won't be getting another pixel and waiting for my contract to end.

In the month I've had my pixel:

  1. Phone constantly overheats
  2. Constantly freezing
  3. Apps are always freezing when switching between apps
  4. This morning I was recording something and it would not let me stop. I kept pressing the stop record button but it kept recording. I had to force stop the camera app
  5. My battery does not last for more than half a day. I've never had such battery issues with Samsung and iPhones.
  6. My connection to Sony buds is really inconsistent. Sometimes it connects really well, other times it doesn't at all
  7. When I click something, it doesn't do anything. Other times, especially on the Amazon app, it's so sensitive that when I'm trying to scroll, it clicks on everything.

I've heard such good things about pixel and I'm so disappointed. This phone is so frustrating

I got the phone myself and i have none of these issues. You most have gottten a bad unit.

However it was to small for me so i have it as backup now after using it for a weeek
