Free Bose headphones is a solid deal. Can sell those for a fair chunk.

Good shout
The 4a 5G is wireless charging away from being "good enough" for me. But without it? I'm not sure. But I don't feel like the 5 offers enough extra to justify the £100 bump. Though one.
Also, I'll miss the lack of telephoto lens on both I think. Will have to wait for reviews to see how photos look when relying on digital zoom.
Also, the Bose headphones are an odd giveaway. Guess I'm feeling a little salty because I already own a pair from the P20 Pro giveaway. And they aren't worth much compared to a year or two ago. £110 cash at CEX isn't a price.

Yeah fair enough I didn't see what.
I just remember buying the pixel 1 and them having discount a few weeks later on black friday.
I didn't make that mistake again.

I would be very surprised if it was even half as good as this introduction offer. The Bose headphones current sell for £225 - £250
To buy them from a store, Would you get that for selling them privately?
Soldato
Obviously not as much. But seeing as this is a £600 phone I am not expecting much more than £50 off on black Friday

You say that but face unlock from Google has not worked. ... For 1 half the apps that banks use don't work with it and Google have not done much with it..... Prime example it does not work with face masks which bugs and effects me daily

Agreed. Terrible presentation. YouTube Music ad and then 5G ad... and then phone specs on screen for less than 3 seconds!
I mean, Google have never been known for exciting launch events, not sure what people expected
I would just have liked to know a little about the actual hardware, rather than software that has been about for a long time.
Yeah, I was wondering this too. I have ordered a Pixel 5, but it doesn't really have anything unique aside the software... that I will also get on my Pixel 4. A decent battery upgrade and UWA lens I guess. Also, I think it's slightly smaller and lighter than the Pixel 4, which I like the idea of. As you say though, can you get just as good hardware for under £400 right now? Very possibly.

Well I grabbed a phone and case, then stopped right before pay now. I think the only benefit it has over my 7Tpro is the camera - and couldn't I just install the camera apk to get all the new hdr camera bracketing features? The only feature that has totally changed the way I use a phone is fast charge and going from 30w to 18w would be a huge downgrade. I'll be keeping a close eye on the 8T event mid October, that 65w charger is too good to ignore.

TCB showing 7%
Poco X3 will do that with ease
Camera will be nowhere near as good.
I know, comment was made in jest. Let's face it though, most iPhone owners wouldn't tell the difference in cam quality.

If I do decide to go for this I might do down the Amazon route.
Still qualified for the order, just easier if I'm not happy with the device
