    Thank you for your review Sam. I was eagerly waiting for it since launch. As for me, I don't ever use wireless charging, because I mostly stay next to my desk and all the ports, and I rarely ever capture photos, and in times that I do, I don't really bother myself as much with great quality. And I don't play games, so Nothing's light AOSP software skin along with smoother animations with 120 Hz for me is decent enough.

  • @guiaparponsian4891
    @guiaparponsian4891 Před 2 měsíci

    Yeah. I really agree that its camera performance is the biggest drawback. I also resorted to gcam, and I hope there's a gcam in the future that can utilize the 50 MP camera hardware. Nonetheless, it's still a great phone.

  • @MatthewLabarbera
    @MatthewLabarbera Před 2 měsíci +5

    I love your videos mate but this is harsh on the camera.. the phone is cheaper than the Galaxy A35.. and that camera is absolutely rubbish. The camera is fine for 99% of people. I wouldn't call it a downside when its the same price as an iphone 11 from half a decade ago..

    I hope this design remains ONLY for their A phones, rather than spreading to the rest of the line. Saying they look like an iPhone, when everything is a glass sandwich is just absurd to me (and IK sam isn't alone in saying that). I also just really like the design of the Phone One and Two.

  • @antobenilol
    @antobenilol Před 2 měsíci +3

    Ok so... Is better than most of the phones for the price range, and the battery is good, cameras are ok, no wireless charging (Not a problem for me) and sometimes lags (I think the lagging issues can be fixed on a Software Patch but ok)... I think it works for me, i'm buying one

    Verdict is this is a budget range phone with decent performance and lousy camera. But you are only paying $350. So that is to be expected. If you want decent phone and good camera for cheap. Get a pixel 7a

  • @robertvogt1527
    @robertvogt1527 Před 15 dny

    $350??????
    Not in my part of town.
    In south Eastern Victoria, the price of that phone is $550.
    Still not bad,but considering the performance issues with the sub-par cameras, it may not be worth it,at least in my opinion.
    If you don't care much about cameras or performance, then you can spend less on a different brand, but if you want something with better performance, and better cameras, for $100 or $150 more, you could get a midrange samsung or something.
    I'm not a samsung fan boy or anything, I'm just saying.

    Issue with this phone is the Pixel 7a, A55, One plus 12R, and just a used year old flagship makes this device awkward. I seen the horror stories with their awful customer service. So you can either gamble on a no name, or have a little more security with a known brand like Google. Google takes care of their customers. When I worked wireless they were the only ones that did and they sent a lady 3 Pixel 7 Pros within 3 months cause she just had bad luck and kept getting defective units after the warranty period expired.
