I am debating, got Pixel 8a, and Google dropped the Pixel 8 price. Difference - $20.00 CAD. Should I change to 8 or stick with 8a. also, Pixel 8, my monthly plan drops by $3.00. At the end of two years, either I return the phone, or NET pay $197 for either of these phones, including the drop in monthly plan by $3.00. I am not much of a user of my cell phone, and take pictures, only when we are outdoors. On Pixel 8a, taking test video for 5 minutes, not only battery drain of 4 minutes, but phone did get hot.

I am very unhappy with my Pixel 8. There has been ongoing issues with Pixel 6, 7 and 8 having issues with not receiving incoming calls. It either does not ring or goes directly to voicemail even when I am not on the phone. You tube videos talk about the issues. Multiple suggestions which may or may not work including things as drastic as factory reset.

I moved from a Samsung S? to a Pixel 3 some years ago and loved it except for the fact I had to add a program to it to get the phone to auto answer when connected to bluetooth headphones/buds or car head unit. What I didn't understand was this feature I had had in every Samsung Phone I had owned since the S1 was in fact a Samsung customisation. Because of this when the Pixel died I moved back to Samsung. Does the Pixel include this feature these days?
