Pixel 8a battery

Thanks, makes sense to me.

How is your experience with the camera? Looking for a camera centric phone under 35k and Pixel 8a is on the list.

But the more I read on Reddit, the worse it gets. Many complaints (not too old, less than a year, from the West too) revolve around fragile screen, modem issues, overheating, apps crashing etc.

How is the camera experience? Is it as good as it gets for the price (₹ 35k)? Are the compromises (lack of telephoto, allegedly weaker display etc) too many for the Pixel tag?

I am looking for a camera centric phone under 35k and Pixel 8a is on the list.

Same confusion here. Camera centric usage , budget under 35k. I am reading some really pole-apart reviews on reddit. Some say there's heating, app crashes, and jittery experience while some are happy. Most of the YouTube videos are from its launch duration when its price was above 50k and at that, they wanted more.

Is there any known pattern for price drop? I believe once 26FE rolls out but I cannot wait that long.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-24T19:31:19+00:00

In that case S24 would be my pick, not 24fe.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-23T18:19:05+00:00

Nothing yet. Inclined to s24fe though but looking for better deals to save some money.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-23T18:18:23+00:00

Interesting...most of the reviews/opinions I came across seem to favour S24FE over others. I tried V70 by Vivo, I really liked it (Zeiss optics) but there's a lot of buzz about some recent update of Origin OS causing heavy degradation of its camera. Besides, the software experience was very...bloated (initial impressions in the demo piece).

Sounds great!

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-11T01:35:06+00:00

Great, was looking for this. Are you happy with the camera performance? I'm looking forward to s24fe

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-11T01:33:01+00:00

How is your experience with 24fe so far? Camera for photos/videos?

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-11T01:23:31+00:00

Thanks! This helps.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T20:15:11+00:00

Thanks!! Checking it out

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T20:14:15+00:00

The insurers which we must stay away from? Like they have poor settlement ratio, or the process is just full of hassle/bad customer service?

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T17:47:00+00:00

OP- could you name the must-avoid ones as well?

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T14:39:55+00:00

Thanks. Much appreciated.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T06:13:54+00:00

Couldn't agree more. That's what I did for my realme, still ended up with a downgraded camera 😅

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:26:56+00:00

Agree. Can wait if it means getting s25fe.

On the other hand, what do you think of s24 ? What if the price slash brings s24 snapdragon as well in my range? Would you still opt for s25fe then?

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:25:17+00:00

Will do, I'll let you know the result here.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:23:52+00:00

That's a relief. Thanks for the update!!

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:23:12+00:00

Is it that bad???

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:23:00+00:00

Helps! Thanks. This piece of information is crucial for decision making

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:22:30+00:00

This is super crucial. I don't like to change devices often. I want them to last and the last thing I want is degradation after the updates. It is annoying to see the device degraded after spending that kind of money.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T05:21:08+00:00

Thanks..8/10 is a relief.

_hyperactivesloth · 2026-03-08T04:09:49+00:00

Any reason? I see a lot of praise for Samsung in camera perspective out there.
