Overall, I'm pretty disappointed in my new #Android Pixel 8a.
The screen dims too aggressively. The colors are wonky and the default colors were honestly just ugly. Bluetooth is super flaky. The camera isn't wowing me. I had a shitty experience restoring my old data (no explanation/warning that some apps were omitted)...
It's heavier and bigger than my old Zenfone 8 - and I honestly can't tell if it is doing a better job of anything I care about.
So much for Google's "flagships!"
