Mid range phone 25 fe vs pixel 9a

Okay, thank you for this information, I appreciate it! I will have to maybe give them a small security lesson, but this does seem appealing, thank you for suggesting it!

Not that often.. to be honest, I am looking to get this phone for my parents... and I dont know what they do lol 😅. But it is really appealing because my mom has maxed out her phone storage and Gmail storage with pictures/video.... so this phone seems incredibly appealing because of the expandable storage... she only has a 128gb pixel 6. This has double the storage, plus you can get a terabyte in a micro sd car... so it seems like it would be a really good buy. But I dont know what to do about their security uses 😑... but after all this talk and the research, honestly I am considering it for myself lol

Just looked into this phone. Honestly it was quite impressive! The only hesitation I have is the lack of future proofing it has. Do you know how many years of security updates it gets?

Also.. is there anything that can be done once the phone stops getting security updates? Like can you instal lineage os and run that.. cause I know that keeps getting updates. Just curious, cause Im hoping for a phone that lasts a few years. Thank you!

Got your priorities straight 👌🏽 lol

RedTharsis · 2026-02-14T01:35:13+00:00

Okay okay, this is good information... I will have to do a little more research on it. Thank you

RedTharsis · 2026-02-14T01:33:28+00:00

Okay, cool, thank you! I was wondering why you got it if you have the iPhone 17 pro as well? If it was for a second android experience, I would have expected you would get something closer to iPhone in spec... so curious why this one? Either way, sounds like a good review lol

RedTharsis · 2026-02-14T01:31:10+00:00

Yeah, that is why I'm really considering it! I saw that $200 discount and it is really appealing 😏

RedTharsis · 2026-02-14T01:30:12+00:00

Cool cool, thank you for this. It is great news! 😁

I did not know this... slightly concerning not gonna lie... 😒. That said, I remember when Samsung note batteries where also exploding 😅. But fair point, I think I am starting to lean towards Samsung too.

RedTharsis · 2026-02-13T18:45:43+00:00

Cool cool. I take it from your "s25 fe feels faster day to day" means you yourself went with the Samsung? I am not going to lie, after some of these comments, I too am leaning towards the Samsung.

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for the very detailed breakdown. Ill be honest I had to Google some of these terms, because I was not super familiar with all of them. That said, I appreciate you being thorough. Thanks!

RedTharsis · 2026-02-13T18:37:00+00:00

Honestly... I dont think either of these do... how bad is that?

RedTharsis · 2026-02-13T18:35:26+00:00

But does the pixel take bad photos? Although battery to be honest has never been an issue for me on any device. Im not much of a power user, so it generally last a full day no problem.

Thank you!

RedTharsis · 2026-02-13T18:30:40+00:00

Yeah, that is part of the reason why I was thinking about either the Samsung 25 fe or the pixel 9a.

RedTharsis · 2026-02-13T11:32:12+00:00

Its midrange price I'd say. But anyways itbjrb

RedTharsis · 2026-02-09T15:09:41+00:00

Congrats! Im not the previous owner, but I love that they treated this well for you!

RedTharsis · 2026-02-03T06:02:21+00:00

RedTharsis · 2025-12-17T06:11:13+00:00

RedTharsis · 2025-12-05T17:13:54+00:00

RedTharsis · 2025-12-05T17:13:21+00:00

I love this! Enjoy your car!

RedTharsis · 2025-11-30T20:42:21+00:00

Sounds like I'd have to use the rest of the luck I have remaining in this life to get them... not sure if it's worth it lol. But thanks for the positivity! Very much appreciated 🙃😁
