Nope. The “a” series Pixels are generally a mid-cycle refresh targeted at the budget. Similar to the iPhone Mini or 16e on Apples side.
Ah, thank you. I’ll wait for the 10 Pro XL then. Hopefully it’s fingerprint scanner is better than the Pixel 6. It’s hopeless.
I wouldn’t hold out too much hope on that. I started on a pixel 1 then a 3xl (both had power button fingerprint sensors that were awesome) then moved to a 5, 6 and 7 with in screen readers. They’re all crap. I gave up using the one on my 7 almost entirely.
Google can’t seem to get that part figured out. It is exacerbated on custom ROM’s in my experience as well (Graphene mainly on the 7).
Currently using a flip6 with power button reader and it was a revelation going back to a working fingerprint reader.
The 5 is the last not in the screen, and it just works, on factory, DivestOS, Lineage and Graphene (I’ve run them all).
It’s part of why I stay on the 5.
In the Pixel 5, the “a” is a larger phone. I don’t think there’s a 7a, it’s like 7, 7 Pro, and one other, I think.
