After a week I’ve got used to the bigger border or fingerprint scanner (I found out that using a bit more force on it actually improved my finger readability). The only thing that right now is frustrating is the slow charging speed. Everything else is fine.

That’s my home screen after a week with Pixel 8a. My iPhone is being left, untouched since last week.
Pixel shots are good enough to post, without ANY touches.

Just to add to the point of iPhone feeling more expensive/premium and 8a feeling cheaper – I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, because I feel safer and have to be less careful with Pixel. I love glass, don’t get me wrong, but iPhone with case feels chunky and without one – very slippery.
Few random thoughts about iOS vs Android:
Few random thoughts about iOS vs Android:
– I like Apple Pay experience more,
– the assistant on Android (the normal, non-Gemini) is so much better than Siri,
– I still have to keep around an iPhone because of smart home (thermostats are HomeKit only) – at least until we move in the new flat,
– I love Android back gesture and I miss it a lot on the iPhone,
– Android feels playful, but not in a way that makes me addicted to it,
– omg proper file system, I missed that!
– build quality on 8a vs 14 Plus is no match, iPhone feels expensive and 8a feels – unfortunately? – cheap,
– iPhone has better vibration motor but it doesn’t bother me that much, what bothers me is lack of very important notifications on the wrist, missed a couple calls already (can be fixed with getting a smartwatch what will happen eventually because my Apple Watch is getting old.

iOS notification system is like 0.1 version of what Android has. Seriously. I’m SNOOZING one notification to come back and notify me in an hour. SNOOZING.

I feel a bit more understood by this phone. It does interesting things and is very helpful with the assistants.

I can admit that app quality is sometimes a bit worse on Android but web experience is so much better.

This phone makes sense for me even just for the camera. I’d love to get a Pro model or even just a normal one to get it even better with even better screen and then I’d just have to figure it out on Android because I love whatever it does with pictures.
