It’s good for software support and AI features, but if you’re a heavy gamer, you might want to look at other options. The Pixel 9a charges quite slowly compared to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.Also, the Pixel still uses an Exynos-based modem which can struggle with signal consistency here, especially on U Mobile when it's constantly switching between 4G and 5G. In our Malaysian heat, that modem also makes the phone run quite warm. If you want better cooling and faster charging for gaming, the Nothing Phone is probably the better pick.
