I'm definitely switching soon, and I am currently considering the 10 lineup as well as an iPhone 17e. But, what did most of you get instead? I look forward to your answers!
Hi everyone,
I've been using a Pixel 6a for a while. I sent it in for the battery replacement Google required, and since I got it back, the touch response on the right side of the screen has been terrible. After a year of constantly correcting my typing, I've had enough and I'm ready to upgrade. Has anyone else had touch problems after the battery replacement?
I'm in Italy and need an unlocked phone with working NFC, since I rely on SPID and CIE for digital ID. (I tried a Jolla Phone and NFC didn't work, which was a dealbreaker.)
What I'm looking for:
Budget: ideally €500-800, but I'm open to other options
Screen under 6.7"
Battery that comfortably lasts a full day
Good cameras
Stock Android
My priorities, in order:
Camera quality
Battery life
Stock software
Long-term updates
My shortlist:
Pixel 10 (\~€549 on sale): great cameras and 7 years of updates, but a \~4,970 mAh battery
Pixel 10a (\~€490): bigger battery (5,100 mAh) and cheaper, but no telephoto
Pixel 10 Pro (roughly €750-800 on sale): best cameras, but a slightly smaller battery (4,870 mAh)
Motorola Edge 70 Pro: the only non-Pixel option I'm considering, thanks to its 6,500 mAh battery, but it gets fewer updates and is 6.78"
Ruled out: the Pixel 11. At €999 it's too expensive for me, and it doesn't seem like enough of an upgrade over the 10.
I lean toward the Pixel 10 or 10 Pro because camera quality matters most to me. For those of you who own them:
How is the real-world battery life of the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro?
Is the telephoto and extra camera hardware of the 10 Pro worth roughly €250 more over the Pixel 10?
Is the 10a good enough if I skip the telephoto?
Thanks for any advice!
Sorry for bombarding the sub with questions lately. Will it be better to get my battery replaced through official Google service or local shop. Few owners have faced issue with screen problems and extra screen repair quotations from them service. What should I do? Don't wanna spend extra on a display thats working great and the moment it reaches them there's a 'problem'.
Excluding ifixt batteries do y'all know any good battery spares I can get it fixed with. I live in India so ifixit out the window.
