    is there any benefit to wait for 9 series second hand market to be competitive over buying 8 today?

      Wait for a black Friday deal. I traded in my 4a previously and upgraded to a 7a for $150

      I have the Pixel 8a. For me, it’s really a great phone. As far as I know, the 8a is never going to get the “Gemini AI” software due to limited memory (does not apply to 8/8pro).

      Camera, performance, screen etc is mostly similar as I heard.

        That’s odd, I installed the Gemini app on my 6a like a week ago. Unless you’re specifically talking about grapheneOS.

          Whats not aupported is to run gemini nano directly on your phone. The default gemini (in the cloud) works fine.
