Used it for 4 months and it is great. of course, he's not perfect. it's middle class. if you want perfection, spend another 20k and buy a flagship from any manufacturer. for me the phone is great, the battery is weaker ( my old phone had 21 000mah and lasted almost a week) but the day lasts. The camera is perfect, all the games on the can handle absolutely no problems and I like those AI features even if their Gemini still has a lot of flaws.

I have 2, one for real use, the other for testing (until the bootloader unlock is disabled)
It is possible to unlock the bootloader, but you have to have the SIM in it (I haven't checked what they send via SDR)
GrapheneOS works great
Private Space from Android 15 is awesome
The touch accuracy is terrible, I don't know why, the Nexus 5X is perfect in comparison and those Pixels keyboards any terrible

If I could have euthanasia, this is the tipping point
Hardware works approx.
OEM unlock works
Dystopian abomination of "pure Android 15", adware + data brokers galore
Fingerprint reader terrible even when the system has been reinstalled 20-30 times and reenrolled 4 fingers
Definition of "War on general computing" lecture by Cory Doctorow from 15 years ago
OEM unlock even if it doesn't have carrier-lock requires network
This is from a guy who glitched things like TrustZone and chips (ARM/RISC-V, custom silicon) via voltage spikes, clock glitch, EMFI as a professional job
Full of silly algorithms - avbmeta, play integrity, attestation, can be bypassed but make a worse loop
The phone controls you (via the data brokers), not that you control it (and it's not listening through the microphone)

After Pixels 4a and 6a I got 8a and I am again very satisfied. The mobile does not overheat, responds briskly. I added the INIU wireless charger and again, as with previous models, the Spigen Tough Armor case and Spigen AlignMaster protective glass, everything fits and works perfectly, wirelessly charges even with the case and does not heat up. With protective glass, you need to select a higher touch sensitivity in the display settings.

I bought this one as an alternative to the s25 where I expected a small phone with high performance. Unfortunately, they only had a dummy on Alza and I didn't have a chance to try it on. But I have to admit that I would probably buy from 25 because the size of the phone and its weight is too big compared to s25 and then not quite disappointed with the camera where I can not find a complete manual shooting. As an alternative to Samsung, it met my expectations but as I write I'm still considering keeping this one as a second phone and getting the s25 when it's at a better price.
There are a lot of features that are set up differently, and honestly I'm still struggling with some of them and can't figure out how to set them up. For example, if I want to change the keyboard so that I can dictate in Microsoft teams for example, dictation does not work.
I see the biggest weakness of phones nowadays as the fingerprint over the display. I was used to both Google and Samsung fingerprint either on the side or on the back and in case you have multiple phones so hit the place where the fingerprint is given is virtually impossible everyone has it differently.
And the general disadvantage of phones, when it falls it breaks
Google
Total performances
It has a clean android though.
Google meet cannot be deleted
Bigger than I expected, the s25 is in a different league
Fingerprint reader on the display - I don't understand why they put it on the display
