    Thank you for your review Sam. I was eagerly waiting for it since launch. As for me, I don't ever use wireless charging, because I mostly stay next to my desk and all the ports, and I rarely ever capture photos, and in times that I do, I don't really bother myself as much with great quality. And I don't play games, so Nothing's light AOSP software skin along with smoother animations with 120 Hz for me is decent enough.

    I love your videos mate but this is harsh on the camera.. the phone is cheaper than the Galaxy A35.. and that camera is absolutely rubbish. The camera is fine for 99% of people. I wouldn't call it a downside when its the same price as an iphone 11 from half a decade ago..

    $350??????
    Not in my part of town.
    In south Eastern Victoria, the price of that phone is $550.
    Still not bad,but considering the performance issues with the sub-par cameras, it may not be worth it,at least in my opinion.
    If you don't care much about cameras or performance, then you can spend less on a different brand, but if you want something with better performance, and better cameras, for $100 or $150 more, you could get a midrange samsung or something.
    I'm not a samsung fan boy or anything, I'm just saying.

    Issue with this phone is the Pixel 7a, A55, One plus 12R, and just a used year old flagship makes this device awkward. I seen the horror stories with their awful customer service. So you can either gamble on a no name, or have a little more security with a known brand like Google. Google takes care of their customers. When I worked wireless they were the only ones that did and they sent a lady 3 Pixel 7 Pros within 3 months cause she just had bad luck and kept getting defective units after the warranty period expired.
