This “compact” phone is significantly bigger than my Galaxy S23, which bills itself as a totally normal phone
How about that for a plot twist - the Google Pixel Pro now comes in a compact size!
This makes no sense. The 7a had nearly identicle dimensions. This is literally in no way a departure from any sort of norm created by Google.
I really hate Phone marketing. It’s 99% bullshit these days.
“Compact” is a bit of a stretch. But the size of the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro (non-XL) is pretty nice. I currently have a 7 Pro and while the “screen real estate” is nice, it’s really on the upper end of what I’m willing to use. (Both in terms of size and weight) I bought my mom a Pixel 8 recently and I really liked the form factor when I set up the phone. It’s large enough to fit everything on the screen but small enough to use comfortably. Since I really want a telephoto lens the non-XL Pro version seems like it’s made for me. 😄
Me too! I initially I wanted to wait for the (Pixel X?) for the TSMC based processor.
but since the Pixel 9 brought QOL improvements like the Ultra sonic finger print, improved Telephoto Autofocus and smaller Pixel Pro that can be used in one hand. Top that with $625 credit and $200 BB giftcard. I couldn’t hold anymore and gave in :)
“Compact”? No, not by any means.
I don’t understand why all these OEMs copy all the dumb shit Apple does but they can’t copy their truly compact phones…
People don’t want small phones. All the people complaining about this on Reddit and here don’t get that they are a very small minority of people.
No they don’t? The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini were the worst performing phones out of their lineup. Small phones are dead because hardly anyone buys them.
If you have a pixel 8, are you gonna upgrade?
I got a 7 pro that google will give me $540 for trading in if I pre-order. But I’m tempted to wait till closer to the holidays to see if a better sale comes along.
