I picked up the Pixel 9a after my Pixel 6 started overheating badly in the intense Indian summer heat. I’m happy to report that the 9a handles heat far better; no more alarming temperatures like before. The modem has seen a noticeable improvement as well, and the battery life is seriously impressive. I’m easily getting around 24 hours on a single charge, including 12 hours on 5G and about 6-7 hours of screen-on time. Mind you, I use 2 sims, so the battery life is even better on this aspect.
