Andrew feels that Google's release of the Pixel 9A, specifically with its restrictive embargo rules, is a negative indicator regarding the product's quality.

“the Embargo big red flag uh and I got to use the phone behind the scenes obviously and I shot my video but the Embargo specifically said in this Impressions video which is funny I shot it in the exact same room as the pixel 8A Impressions video in this Impressions video you are only allowed to show ”

Google should have simply kept the Pixel 9a as the budget option instead of releasing the 10a.

“I think they could have just been like, you know, the 9a is still pretty good for people that like want a cheap entry-level Pixel.”

The Pixel 10a is a very incremental update that feels like an afterthought.

“It was very much an afterthought type of phone. So it's updated.”
