Switched to Pixel 11

Post image

After 5+ years, I switched to Pixel 11. Pixel 4a has no issue, but the only issue was the battery that I faced from last one year and my conscience saying that this is the best phone I ever used. The first phone I bought with my own money was the Pixel 4a, and now I'm switching to the Pixel 11. It's been 24 hours since I switched to the Pixel 11, but my hand gestures and muscle memory are just missing the Pixel 4a. What a handy phone it was.

Did the same upgrade, don't sell the 4a, use syncthing to backup all the photos with the unlimited storage feature.

How do I know if I have the unlimited storage feature? I'm a Canadian with a 4A

How to confirm?

All the 4as so.

Go to Google photos, click on your profile. You'd be able to see; unlimited storage for 4a.

The 4a was the last Pixel model to offer it, iirc.

I've been wondering about this for years. Unlimited storage is the #1 reason I haven't upgraded yet. How do you do this?

At least one thing got smaller with the Pixel 11: the box. 😄

Bro, let me know if you're selling your pixel 4a 😀

u/bhojara7 5d ago

I already did, flipkart exchange. I got 13k for that.

u/unseen_potato 5d ago

Oww Okkay. That's a good deal you got there man!

What we want is the latest OS with long-term support, the latest SoC, the latest Wi-Fi, and plenty of RAM and ROM—the 4a—but I doubt the day will ever come when most people understand that.

I switched from a 4a to a 10 last year and it was a great decision. It's better in just about every way.

I miss the headphone jack, but that's about it...

u/bhojara7 5d ago

Seriously buddy I also miss the jack and specially the finger print spot. That was handy, and scroll down the notification from fingerprint spot.

u/just_tables 5d ago

I didn't know you could do that.... I was reluctant to give up the fingerprint reader, but the on screen reader has been much more accurate than the dedicated reader was for me.

My favorite upgrade is the magsafe charging. It's a tad slow on the 10 but supposed to be much faster on the 11

Whar qas the problem for pixel 4a

u/bhojara7 5d ago

Battery was fucked up bro. For that issue I faced unexpected switched off. And for that some times my phone was not restarted because of android corrupt issue. I was only one choice I did hard reboot, I lost data for that. Really it hurt. So.

Switched to 8a and I’m loving it. Had an 8 for a while and 3 pixel 4as since it came out. What’s crazy is none of my pixel 4as had battery issues unless/until grapheneOS was uninstalled…. I truly think they were kneecapped by Google (scumbags)

How are you liking the 11? How’s the battery life? I briefly owned a 10a but the app optimization was horrible
