their website said they are doing this so they can focus on their 4G coverage
the sms also said I could of course always use wifi, which made me chuckle
we did wonder how they knew my phone had no 4g capabilities as I have a sim only with them so they don't have info on my phone, so my guess is that they tried to send me a message over 4G and that failed or something like that?
so that's the end of my Samsung whateveritis and I will be on the lookout for a new cheap phone as I don't care about phones very much

Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 3a is basically identical to the Pixel 2. The plastic case feels a little lighter, and it's overall a bit rounder, but it's very similar to use. Android 10 (which should be called Quiche, dammit) is very slick and I welcome Dark mode with open arms.

Did the Pixel 2 have the 'squeeze to activate Google' thing? That blows my mind that does.

Yeah, I'm not so keen. I think I've deliberately used it once, but accidentally activate it 300 times a day.

I think I've accidentally activated it about a few dozen times.

But it's my go to way of using voice search. Rarely do that any other way.

You can turn it off, or at least lower the sensitivity so you have to squeeze it like hulk Hogan to activate it

I don't want to turn it off in case I ever need it again :DD

I've recently gone for the Pixel 3a XL and it's a nice phone! I like it a lot.

I think I get 10gig for just under £30 a month? Maybe?!? I'm on a friends and family discount with EE so it was 30% off whatever the store price was. I've also got a free gift coming in the way of an Xbox One, Sonos speaker or some posh headphones.

But yeah, I can't imagine it'll be much different to the Pixel 2 just with a nicer camera I guess? Still, very good.

I got one of these too. I really like it, particularly the camera.

I've had my free gift come. A pair of wireless B&O headphones that apparently cost £250.

I wouldn't have paid £250 for them but they are quite nice.
