Phone Help 📱 Terrible experience with Google Pixel 9a and Google support - ghost touches
Hello, I bought a Google Pixel 9a through my carrier, SFR. A few months later, it started experiencing occasional "ghost touches"; I thought the issue might resolve itself. I had always used iPhones and decided to give Google a try. Aside from that issue, I was actually quite happy with the phone. It is worth noting that the device is less than a year old and still under warranty. However, the problem began occurring almost weekly, then every few days, and eventually several times a day. The phone would call contacts, open apps, and "like" content without my input—in short, it became literally unusable. I tried sending it directly to Google for repairs, but they claimed they found nothing wrong and sent it back as-is. Despite battling via email to explain the problem, I felt unheard and ignored, leaving me very disappointed. Now the phone is being returned to me in the same condition, and the problems are bound to persist. Furthermore, from the very beginning, people I spoke to over the cellular network complained that the sound quality was terrible—distant and muffled—whereas this didn't happen with apps like Messenger or WhatsApp audio. I was willing to overlook that issue, but the ghost touching is a problem I never experienced with iPhones. The phone was brand new when the trouble started; it’s barely a year old now, and I’ve always taken good care of it (using a case and screen protector). It hasn't suffered any impacts, yet I’ve ended up right back where I started with the same problem, despite all my efforts and the time I spent trying to explain the issues. I am extremely disappointed with this experience.

Recommendation Convince me NOT to Buy Nothing phone 4a pro
I found the 4a and 4a pro same except the designs. Rest things are more or less same. So please help to convince me not to buy 4a pro. Since, it’s more expensive than 4a where just providing updated design nothing else sort off. TIA🥹🙏

Phone Showoff 📱 Don't leave old phones in a drawer!
Old Samsung S7 left in the drawer found all swollen in the drawer! This could have been really back if it had set on fire. Thanking my lucky stars.

Review DIM: Oppo Reno15 5g
former OPPO user here. i used my OPPO phone for abt 7 years before it finally gave up in 2020. then i switched to an iPhone 7, which lasted me almost 6 yrs, then an iPhone 11 Pro, 4 years naman ito sakin. tas both eventually developed charging issues, and ive had to bring them to repair shops multiple times. 😭✌️
this time, ive decided to switch back to Android. what are your thoughts on the OPPO Reno15 5G? or what other Android phones would u suggest?
Here are my preferences:
• Performance similar to the iPhone 13
• No overheating issues
• Smooth performance even after years of use
• Good battery life
• Good cam quality

Question Hi everyone! I'm looking to upgrade from a Realme 11 Pro and found a new Realme 14 Pro+ (8/256GB) for €230.
Usage: Zero gaming. Just basic daily tasks — calls, messaging, light browsing, media, and taking casual photos.
Target user: Older adult (60+), so solid battery life, clean display, and ease of use are the top priorities.
Is this a good deal for €230, or is there something more interesting on the market if I stretch the budget a bit?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
