for a $1k phone

I'm still surprised people don't just buy the a versions. Nearly all the same features for sub-$500. And the last 2 times (5a and 6a) that they came out, I was offered $150 to trade up. Seeing as one of the ones they accepted for that was destroyed from water damage, it was a good deal. But even full price they're worth it if you like Pixels.

I checked the comparison for the newest: 7a/7/7Pro https://store.google.com/magazine/compare_pixel?hl=en-US and I really see very few differences. 7a even has wireless charging now. It's mostly size I think.

Yeah I think the 'A' versions are quite amazing and really don't get enough credit. For me, the size was the primary factor. I came from a Galaxy Note, so the 7 Pro was just barely smaller. But I liked the idea of a slightly more simplistic interface. Pixel, from a software perspective, felt like the iPhone of androids - it's simple, clean, and should just work. Though I've noticed that my Samsungs with OneUi were more stable with less use errors.
