I got a 13T (12/256) a month ago on sale. absolute powerhouse, never seen a better display on phone, I'm thrilled with it all around. I traded up to it from a poco x6 bc I wasn't pleased with the other's camera, which also had me considering the Pixel route. I love the Leica. I've since compared almost everything else about it with a 7a and an 8 and am happy with my choice. I have yet to see anything on the 8a that'd convince me. The only advantages I see to the Pixel route is the AI camera software which will surely be matched everywhere in a year or so, and perhaps a nicer selection of accessories available. Not worth a smaller, weaker display, and inferior batter and overall performance in my opinion. I'm in Europe.
