sorted byLeft android many years ago after endless lagging and crashing of apps. Was very happy with apple despite their super greedy nature and endless scams to try to get more of our money. But recently got pixel 6a to play and compare, compared it to iPhone 12 and 14. Which are around 4 times tbe price of the pixel 6a I bought from Vodafone for 189. I didn’t have any hopes at all due to the price I pinned it down as a budget back up handset.
However after comparing, I am absolutely shocked at the fact that overall I ld say the 189 handset is better than the 800 apple.
The screen on the pixel has a cleaner and richer display.
The camera of the pixel has one of the best pics of any smart phone and certainly brighter than the iPhone. U can argue it’s only 12MB but unless u r going to blow the pic of the size of a house u won’t see any diff.
The processor on the 6a is exactly the same as the 6 flagship range and open websites faster than iPhone 14 or at least same speed, diff very very small less than half a second.
The battery lasted nearly twice that of the iPhone. One finished early eve and the other (pixel) next morning nearly lunch time.
The mic dictionary typing was 90% accurate while iPhone was less than 50%, yes I have an accent. Navigating a paragraph while typing was much smoother on the pixel.
Finally transferring my media from my iPhone to my laptop was a right pain as it kept saying source not available etc, with the pixel it was as smooth as drag and drop from folder to folder.
There r also new functionalities like being able to point at a sign in foreign language and it will translate it to u automatically.
The smart watch that goes with android pixel is also a fraction of the Apple Watch
So what r the downsides? Only two I found, one no Face ID, which I never used anyway, u can do all sorts including finger print on screen or pin or password or swirly thing .
Second is no wireless charging.
Which I never used until a month ago, and while I liked the convenience,
It’s not fast to charge so pros and cons.
All in all, to be able to pick up the pixel brand new sealed for 189 that takes better pics and faster processor in real life as well as massively Better camera, V iPhone at 3-4 times the price.
Pixel also has other cool things like the magic eraser to delete objects from your pics as well as it’s much louder speaker for music and calls than iPhone.
I am by no means buy a Google as I’ve been for many years now religiously loyal, iPhone follower, but apple greed of now charging nearly a 1000 for their basic handset instead of 500 not long ago, and to add to that, if I look at iPhone 12/13 and 14, not much changed between 3 of them, the improvements are so small.
So I think I ll finally be making the switch, good luck everyone. No disrespect to anyone who chooses either one, just wanted to give back something to this community that helped me plenty over the years with advice.
Also use Topcashback Plus for £40 cashback on Giffgaff if you activate the SIM. So pay £209 including £10 SIM, activate the SIM get your £40 cashback = £169 for the phone.
Pay your £299, trade-in for £325 = trade-in cash refund of £299 and £26 into Google Store Credit plus £29.90 Google Store Credit plus approx. £13 Topcashback.
So you'll have paid £156 effective and have £55.90 Google Store Credit = £100.10 for a Pixel 6a assuming your spend the Credit on something you would have otherwise bought - case, charger?
Looks like a great deal for the Google Pixel 6a

Typing this on my owned-from-new iPhone 11. It’s battery health is now 80% but it still lasts all day no issue. Still super speedy, never lags at all (my previous 6S did by this stage), I know it’s second hand but with Apple quality this will wipe the floor with new Android phones at this price point.
Great deal.
Good condition too with 89% battery health
Unacceptable scratches accross front facing camera and sensor as well as dirt in the speaker.
Battery health was 89%
Camera had a ghosting effect what looked like 3 dots too. (edited)
Tried to flag it for return on website but the order is showing as "processing" and I don't seem to have the option to return it.
Hopefully the returns process isn't too painful.
Just received the iPhone 11 Refurbished "GOOD CONDITION".
Slightly unsure how they grade their iPhone, but the one I got is like "brand new".
Really chuffed to get this for £199.00 & used Klarna to pay this in instalment. (edited)
The screen must have had a protector on previously as it's blemish free, not a single mark.
A few very faint marks on back but hardly noticeable and what you'd often find even with a case. My eyesight isn't great but you'd have to look closely to spot them.
Have spent last couple of hours going through everything thinking there must be something wrong... and I thought I found it! When receiving calls, it would announce callers name (New to me!) and then the call volume would dip considerably, hardly audible... but I do have hearing issues!
Bit of a basic feature with it being a phone for you not to be able to hear it ringing! I spent an hour or so tweaking various settings but none made any difference so thought I'd be sending it back.
Did a Google search as last resort and apparently it's a 'Feature'!! Although I don't have Face ID enabled etc if you pick the phone up and look at it, it automatically lowers the volume!! To dismiss this you need to go to Settings/Face ID & Passcode and turn off Attention Aware. This 'feature' will lower the volume when you are looking at the phone! How ridiculous to have that set as default!
To think I was on the verge of sending this back thinking I had a fault! I'm just wondering whether the previous owner returned it thinking the same LOL! Anyway, just thought I'd mention it should anyone else encounter this 'Feature'.
My last iPhone was an iPhone 6 and such magic wasn't enabled but I'm glad I got to the bottom of it and if so I'm pretty pleased with the phone compared to those that have received what I'd consider anything but 'Good Condition'... it's clearly a lottery as to what you end up receiving and GiffGaff should be ashamed for describing them as such in those examples posted on here. Compared to some of the photos posted it's like night and day.
I'll spend a good amount of time tomorrow checking the phone out but consider myself 'lucky' in light of what I could have received... fingers crossed!
I'd been an iPhone owner for over 10 years until last July when I couldn't afford a replacement so opted for a Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro after it was posted on HUKD. Great deal (I thought) and great price £129!
Maybe I got a faulty phone but I've had nothing but issues with it so was thinking of taking it to CEX who are offering £112 and that was what I was going to spend getting this iPhone 11.
However, as said my expectations are not that great and was preparing to have to send it back but the current trade-in offer of £325 against a Google Pixel 6a (£299) got me thinking to give Android another go and I just wondered whether anyone has successfully taken advantage of this i.e. traded in their iPhone 11 from GiffGaff for a Pixel 6a (or Pixel 7 for that matter)?
(Having said that I still wonder why I have to give access to my contacts, photos etc. etc. when downloading apps from the App Store? especially when the app doesn't require or need access... in my opinion anyway? It's just another reason why I've been comfortable using an iPhone and its apps for all these years but sadly at an increasingly unaffordable premium)
