    Hmm pretty heavy compared to my 4a, 143g vs 187g.

      Every Pixel since the 4a has been too heavy in my opinion. I upgraded to the 6a from the 4a and if I could I’d be using the 4a today instead (water damage).

      Even plastic-backed phones are all around this weight now. Even the smaller phones are getting heavy!

        I dont get it to be honest. The plastic back on the 4a is perfectly fine. I have a cover anyway, who cares how it looks. I don’t think it’s more durable either? Why are plastic ones getting heavier though?

          Probably packing more into the same space. Battery capacities have been going up and that’s weight. Phones are getting bigger too. A few mm here and there and it’s an extra 30% in volume, which also translates to more mass.

            Yeah, I guess. The pixel 8 finally looks like closer to the 4a in terms of size though
