Complet fell apart in less than a year

I have had quite a few different phones with quite a lot of case. I am not overly harsh on them and do not drop them a lot. But this case, which I paid more than usual so i would make this phone last longer, lasted less than 1 year. The hard case just kept breaking at every corner and the rubber is getting very worn down. It does come with a warrenty which i have now applied for, but shipping and handling will cost 25% of the origninal cost to replace.
Decent phone for average use. UI and design is good and comes with many options but more annoying as well like most things. Too many swipes for simple things that weren't complicated by others.. Worst review is battery. The battery is near trash for all its hype. Somehow battery saver mode uses more battery. GPS is major with battery as well. An hour drive could use up 7-9% as opposed to a Motorola G play 2024 in the same consumption only uses 4%. But luckily no overheating so that's good I guess ..
Bought it to gift my mother for this Christmas. The Black Friday sale, made it affordable for me to buy. Design matches to that of an iPhone. Very sturdy and modern look. Started the phone to check for features and apps, found it very smoother and user-friendly. Camera gives best quality pictures. Gemini brings more AI touch for easy tasks. Overall, it's worth buying and having this phone!
Very sleek, portable yet responsive phone. It ships with many security features, it's incredible. With 128GB, it has ample storage. Working very well and I love it. The battery lasts one and half days which is great.
It was recommended that I buy this phone when my older Samsung phone died. I was in a panic and needed a new phone in a hurry. I like the Google Pixel 9A phone although it has too many apps loaded onto the phone that I don't need. It will take a bit of time to get used to it, but the phone is very good.
