My Pixel 7a died. It was affected by the battery issue. It was doing well, but for a few weeks the battery started going crazy. It would suddenly drop to zero even at 40%. I immediately searched for solutions and found several options: (1) Turn on battery saver; (2) Check if your phone is eligible for the extended repair program.
A friend bought the phone for me 2 years ago in Singapore. My phone was eligible for the program. I chose to get a voucher since I'm unable to bring the phone to Singapore (plus it would be scary to bring a bloated phone on a flight!). We'll eventually need to buy something if the future and I was able to use the phone anyway for two years and my 4a still works!
Anyway, I started to look around for a replacement. I didn't want to buy my friends in Singapore, plus I don't know if anyone's coming home soon. I know you can buy at GameXtreme online, but I don't want to get stressed over delivery. I found out about their physical stores, so we dropped by last weekend. They have Pixel phones, Chromebooks, Nest devices, Chromecast, and watches. The don't have it on hand all the time, so it's best to call and make a reservation.
They had an available Asus Chromebook for only PhP9,900! It was so tempting, but my Chromebook is still solidly useful and my older Chromebooks are all still working! I saw they also have HP Chromebooks on their website (only PhP11,995!). I've been using a Chromebook for all my computer needs! That includes blogging, editing videos and photos. I'm just like any user, nothing hardcore, so a Chromebook works for me!
Oh, I digressed! Haha! Anyway, at least you can buy a Pixel phone now at a physical shop. If you're not comfortable ordering it online just go to GameXtreme. It's useful to call ahead and reserve what you want to buy so they can have it on hand when you go.
RIP my Pixel 7a phone, huhu. (
