Suggestions?

With Android Pie, this functionality has been discontinued. You wont be able to do any call recordings, if your new phone is on Android P.
No third party call recording apps will work, unless you decide to root the device.

Is this just for stock Android. Because EMUI/ Huawei/Honor phones still have the option to record calls even after being on Pie

If the OEM provides the option in their dialer it will work. But you cannot use third party call recorder apps. So EMUI/MIUI etc will work.

I am using MiA1 which is running on stock android P. Recently I installed one of the 3rd party call recorder app and I was able to auto record the calls/conversations.

Can you please share the app name, so I can too start using it.
Thanks.

I looked up my usage, and this is what I see going on:
1. Lots of reading
2. Navigation using Gmaps
3. Plenty of Youtube
4. Lots of photography
5. No gaming
6. No working off the phone
7. My daily phone usage for calls is probably like 10 minutes max.
8. Out of 64 GB in my current phone (32+32), I have used about 30 GB, and I can't seem to use more.

.......

Would this be the right inference?

One added advantage is Google gives you unlimited storage for pictures and videos taken by your Pixel, so that should further help you with point #8 above.

Youtube also should be a decent experience because it comes with an OLED screen and stereo speakers.

Actually all android phones get unlimited storage for pictures and videos, but they are slightly compressed. And while Pixels gets storage for photos and videos at original size/resolution, Pixel 3A doesn't get that feature, so it is same as other android phones in that regard.

OP7 also gets stereo speakers along with AMOLED display.

But:



Specs wise the OP7 blows the 3A out of the water. But at the end of the day, numbers mean one thing, and every day usability is whole different paradigm.

Knowing Google, I expect them to throw more and more camera related updates for the Pixel series as we go along.

The primary requirement for me is exactly what phones are meant for, calls. In general I spend about 3 hours on average each day speaking to people (some of those calls could be 1-1.5 hours). Therefore:

Thanks for all your reverts.

I went ahead and bought myself a A50, my first phone in the >20k pricing. Checked out at Poorvika and felt nice to hold it on hand, just same dimension as my 9i.

Below is the comparison of A50 with 9i after a week of usage -

+ Overall A50 is an upgrade over 9i
+ New Samsung UI is simple and nice to use, unlike the earlier Samsung UI
+ Screen is definitely one of the positives of Samsung amoled
+ Camera is quite better on the A50, I like the wide angle option. I really have not taken much pics, so will further update on camera quality.
+ Face recognition seems faster than 9i

- Fingerprint scanner on the 9i (on the rear) was faster than the under the screen scanner on the A50. One, its slightly difficult to use thumb for unlock in that angle. Second, it take at least 5 seconds to recognize, than probably 1 second of 9i.
- Message App was very good in 9i with segregated personal messages and that of adverts, bank messages etc.
- Sometimes, I find myself touching an option more than once for it to function, like, when I open WhatsApp or when I end a call, few times I have had to touch more than once. Not sure if this is a generic issue or specific with my phone.

Overall, I am quite happy with the buy and its indeed a nice phone for the price.
