For the money, even with a discount, it is a pretty k@k phone.

It's really not. Have you actually used a 4xl for a prolonged time?

I find it very strange that you say the pixel 3 is ok but the 4 not. The 4 is pretty much a 3 with a better screen and beefier hardware. It works, so why reinvent the wheel? If you want extra bloat and bling, buy a Samsung :)

Yes I had one for a month. You don’t seem to understand that what I am saying is that it is not worth the price they were. Now it makes sense at $500, but for $800+ it’s a shocking phone.

It was a failure for a reason dude.

Failure to who? You?
It's working pretty well for me and many others.
For me it was worth every penny. Let's leave it at that :)

I got the Pixel 4a in my cart and the Sony WH-1000XM4, I am just waiting for the official launch on the Pixel 5 to decide which one of the two to purchase.

The Pixel 5 would be the obvious choice - if you can afford the extra $300.

I have been with Apple for a very long time now, my only reason for getting the 5 over the 4a would be if I’m happy with and I decide to move over from Apple it would be a good phone to keep for a long enough time.
I do enjoy the Apple ecosystem but I’ve been wanting a Pixel since 3, just never pulled the trigger.

Ive always wanted a Google device since the Nexus days but never pulled the trigger. I am also heavily into the Apple Ecosystem but the 4a seems like a good way to try out the Pixel line withou spending too much.

As long it doesn’t come with SAPO once it reaches SA then I am happy.

Are you enjoying the phone?

Yes, most definitely.
Really impressed with the battery life on this phone, used the phone a lot yesterday and got 5h 19min screen on time and still had 48% battery left.
Never ever had that kind of battery life from a phone.

Just to give you an approximate timing for delivery with UPS;
My phone was shipped on a Wednesday night and was in my Hands on the following Monday.

That is pretty impressive. Did the phone ship with android 11?

Battery life has even improved on the 4XL with android 11 compared to 10. Not by much but it's noticable.

Heavy usage day for me.

Edit. Struggling to upload a screenshot with Tapatalk. 6h 26min usage and 25% left.

Are you sure your order has left Dubai? It doesn't show departed from Facility in Dubai?
In my case it was pre cleared for customs and did show Kempton Park, ZA at one point before before it arrived in SA.

It could be a pre approved custom clearance
 
My battery life is worse with 11 and the phone wont go into sleep mode. Serves me right for not doing a fresh format.
