I work at Target and our tech dept has gone WAY downhill. We barely carry anything. Of course we carry iPhones because we cater to teens who ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE AN IPHONE. We have exactly one Pixel 6a for some reason even though we used to carry the latest Pixel phones. We also used to carry Samsung flagship phones but we got rid of Samsung 2yrs ago. So now basically the only new phone your going to find is iPhone. Even our selection of prepaid phones suck. I wanted to see if I could get a deal on a Samsung A35 using my employee discount but we don't carry any A35s. Mybe we stopped carrying flagship stuff because it's just gets stolen by emplyees. We just had one of our seasonal tech department employees get arrested last week for stealing over $8000 worth of Apple products and then another seasonal guy got arrested 4 days later for stealing. Also I'm currently using a Pixel 8 Pro.
Nah, I agree. I worked during covid, and tech was ok, now it's just barren. I do agree that theft could be a factor. There are not a lot of other high items in the store. The tech seems to be high end for people who just need the latest apple device or people who don't know where to look. This is a case in central massachusetts comma Also, your employees are idiots. They do the bare minimum of counting tech items on rotating shifts and have camera. Don't know how they thought they would not get caught.
I've never worked Target, but at the start of plandemic Target had some good deals, and it was the only place I was able to snag a Nintendo Switch Lite for killing downtime at work, but yeah these days the 2 in my area really don't have too many good deals on electronics except some of the Heyday USB charge hubs, and earbuds for backups/gifts when they go on sale. Having said that I would NOT buy a phone from there that's for sure. BTW I'm rocking a Pixel 8a I got unlocked on eBay for 400 bones shipped earlier this year, and passed down my 6a to a family member who needed a new phone.
Lol, after talking about everyone else stealing you started your last line with"Also". Almost thought you were gonna say you were stealing something too😂
I used to work at target and our tech department also went downhill, with cases and screen protectors costing absurd amounts of money, and them not selling any decent laptops just those with crappy celerons. That being said, I don't think theft should be much of a concern assuming target installs the proper security devices. (like putting them behind glass, locking them in cases, and putting security tags on them.)
They deadass sell iphone XR's on straight talk, brand new, for 150 bucks. For another 100 you can get a 12 for 250 brand new. For another 100 you can get a 13 for 350 brand new. Walmart has the hookup honestly
@AustynJ right! I got a s20 ultra brandnew awhile back for $650 and i saw the s24ultra at walmart for $850 through post paid carrier thata pretty cheap since they normally cost $1300
I switched from an iPhone SE to a Google Pixel 8a (after using iOS for 14 years) and ain't going back. I ended up with the 8a when the 9 was out of stock, but I am still happy with my purchase.
currently rocking the pixel 9 pro xl and I am loving it! pre ordered it off their site, but you can get it pretty cheap if you shop around. definitely worth it imo, I've had no problems with it
the pixel 9 pro is such a great device. I definitely want to see your 1 week impression of it. PS try night time photography. The 5x zoom camera can pick out a license plate, down the street, at night, with oncoming traffic blinding you with headlights. It's impressive.
7:57 Never seen a 8 MP camera that good? Well you have never had a Nokia Lumia 920 then. It still has one of the best 8 MP (8.3 MPs, actually) cameras ever. An optically stabilized camera with optical Zeiss autofocus lens.
Buying cheap phones from Walmart or target seems like a good idea but then it’s more annoying sitting there removing all the apps that they automatically installed.
@@johnzoid74 HMD now owns the Nokia brand, and I'll say after owning a few of their Android phones, and a tablet in recent years I won't be buying another because their Q/C is horrible like the Nokia G50 I had where the internal flash memory failed within less than a year's time, and Nokia's support refused to do anything about it(go read their support forums it's freaking nightmare you might want to do a video about, so you can warn people not to buy their crap!!), and I got my mother a Nokia C100 in July 2022 as her needs are not that demanding, the damn thing started crapping out on us not a week later with all kinds of glitches, reboots, and overall being sluggish, also even with a good thick rubber case(not a ton of really good case options for the phones) their screens are not near as durable as they claim they are. The only thing I will give them credit for is how long they have kept my Nokia T20 tablet updated with security patches for Android 13, although they were slow as hell about doing it till more recently, and some of the updates have been buggy af, and each update the thing gets slower, and slower, so when it dies I'm thinking of either getting an ONN, or Lenovo tablet if I feel the need for one. So with that said I'm honestly not surprised the OG commenter her had so many issues, and I would advise people from my experience, this commenters, and other comments I've seen on the Nokia/HMD forums to stay away from their crap, and if you have to get something lower end get a Moto E/G, or save up for a used but still getting updates Pixel phone.
You should do a video where you compare the pixel 6a to the pixel 9 pro. Pixel 6a still has two more years of full OS updates left because Google announced they were gonna give it two extra years of support
i havent used the google pixel pro series but the 6a was a nightmare. i paid it off a year early to go back to samsung because after a few months it was so laggy and would randomly shut down, completely freeze for up to 30 mins, sometimes the volume wouldnt work. it was crazy. i know someone else with the 6a and they have the same issues 😐
seems like you, and the other person got bad units, as I rocked a Pixel 6a till earlier this year when a family member needed a new phone, and I got myself an 8a, and the only issue I really had with it, and it's not popped up again was on a hot summers day at family event it gave me the shutdown warning while filming video. My Pixel 8a not too many things to mention besides sometimes the battery drain is a bit more than I like, and due to my worn fingers the fingerprint read sometimes does not see my finger the first try. 🤷♂
@@cw1161 Yeah that's the biggest issues I've seen on the 6a, and 8a, besides getting a little warm at times, or the fingerprint reader not being 100% flawless. Google has fixed a lot of issues though with software updates which is the best thing about the pixel series getting them in a such a timely fashion, that by the time they stop your battery is toast anyways, & it's easier, & almost cheaper to just get an upgrade anyways.
@CommodoreFan64 oh man you reminded me of another issue, it would chronically overheat and shut down in my car with the ac on while it was only running Google maps. my friend and i got ours within two weeks of each other so it may have been a bad batch!
@@carterbeller6415 I'll admit the Google Tensor SOCs made by Samsung have had some heat issues(although have gotten better), which is why Google is switching to TSMC in 2025 as TSMC's processes are overall better than what they can do with Samsung.

Great video again! My main phone is a Google Pixel 7A (I got it for 400$ in novenber 2023) and I love it. It's very fast, takes great pictures and has a good battery. it's really a great phone. And living in France, there are no phones at such low prices there, so watching your videos allowed me to discover those!
Bonus Fact: When I used to work for a Cricket Wireless store, we used to tell customers to just buy a Cricket or AT&T Prepaid phone from the Target across the street if they're strapped for cash.
The problem with an ipad is mostly the pro one because the pro one has a chipset that costs very much and people do not want a device that has a expensive chipset they cant use the full potential of
Diminishing return effect is getting stronger year by year... just a decade ago you had a valid reason to spend extra to get the phone with the bigger screen and more ram... now 100-200 dollar budget phones can do the daily stuff and light gaming comfortably, spending extra is just bragging and style rights!
I have been using the 9 pro fold since it came out. It's pretty much a tablet in the form factory of a regular 9 pro. I've been using pixels since the 4a.
I bought my wife a brand new Pixel 6a 2 years ago for £299. It was to replace a new Pixel 2XL which I bought for £340 in 2019 and which now has a depleted battery. My wife's Pixel 6a keeps going all day which was my reason for buying it. The Pixel 6a has the oldest and slowest Tensor chip which is the reason for its good battery life. However, it runs everything much faster than my Pixel 2XL does. Everyone else in my family has Pixel 7s and a Pixel 8 Pro. We are all happy with our purchases.
How do you like the Google phone? I’m thinking about buying that as my personal main phone replacing my iPhone 16 Pro Max. I’ve had nothing but problems with.
Absolutely love my pixel. I've been so lost since the Great fall of LG but i finally get that old feeling again with my pixel. Pretty sure I'm sticking with them from here out unless i can get my hands on another one plus flagship..
I currently use the Pixel 6a and I love it! Never going back to Samsung or trying Apple. Staying #Pixel! You should use the Pixel as a daily driver for a little bit to see how it is and update us with a video.
Using a pixel 7 pro, a wonderful phone! I discovers the pixel line up per accident as I was in pinch for a decent and cheap phone after a lost iPhone, and I got a cheap refurbished pixel 6 pro, who served me good for few years , very good phone !
Fyi that nokia 2780 is the same model the new pink Barbie flip that is coming out. I was thinking of doing an unboxing myself and the start of my very first video in my channel.
So, just FYI - I've been buying Google Pixel phones since the Pixel 6 and even with the few software bugs, it was a terrific device, the same with the Pixel 7 and 8! Each of those had minor issues which kept them from being nearly perfect - I just traded in my Pixel 8 for the Pixel 9 Pro (I much prefer smaller form factors as I have relatively smaller hands and as I've gotten older, I now deal with a bit of arthritis in my fingers).......Google gave me the total cost of the Pixel 9 Pro for my Pixel 8 trade-in and after 10 days now, let me say that THIS PIXEL 9 PRO is as near perfect as a phone can be!!! The three "issues" which plagued the three previous Pixel phones have been fixed (battery life, which is great.......overheating at times, now non-existent and the modem, which is phenominal). The cameras are probably THE best of ANY smartphone out there, my Pixel 9 Pro has 256gb of internal storage and the AI features (which, to be honest, I don't use on a regular basis) are amazing, and will only get better with the quarterly feature updates. Add to this that Google promises 7 years of security and OS updates and yes, the Pixel 9 Pro is about as perfect as a device can get! Since I'm not a "gamer", I can't offer an opinion on that aspect, but from what I've recently read and a few people I've spoken with, the Pixel 9 series can handle most anything you throw at it - I would just add that if you're one of those heavily-intensive gamers who like to play heavy graphic games constantly, you may want to opt for a gaming phone........MAYBE!!!
The pixel 9 pro is great but sadly the Tensor chip it has just pales in comparison to even the 2023 MediaTek or Qualcomm offeings, especially for a flagship phone in 2024. It works fine for most people, with the camera and AI integration being fantastic selling points, but for people wanting to do anything hardware intensive, a different flagship phone will likely do the job better...
Hey thanks for this type of video i am india and seeing this phones so cheap really makes me happy ❤ and love your funny attitude so much please continue with this technology videos love them❤
Target sucks. People always say competition is good, and while that's true, the "competition" is anything but. Imagine spending three dollars more at target for an already overpriced package of boxers at walmart. Someone from Wally World must have infiltrated Kroger and Target and had them ridiculously inflate the prices.
I actually dig the flip phones with some smart functionality, wish they would release a cheap blackberry imitation version. Guess thats not happening with the patent on the exact keyboard blackberry is using. Imho not really interested in a pixel review as there are thousands on youtube already with full tear down. I come here to see dirt cheap phones and weird smart phones and you pushing them to the max. Glad for you that you could write it off as a business expense this way though lol. Enjoy your new phone(s).
Is it only me, or does Johnzoid look like as if JerryRigEverything had a brother it would be him. Matter of fact, his commentary does feel pretty similar to Jerry's.
I like the idea of KaiOS but at least with the phones released here in the US it's not been a great experience(I have a Cricket Debut Flip with KaiOS V2.5, and an AT&T Prepaid Cingular Flex 2 on KaiOS 3.1) , and with the latest version it dropped a lot of the Google integration like the assistant, an actually TH-cam app that lets you search with voice, etc.. that made KaiOS useful as something just above a basic flip phone. Edit: I just checked and on the Cricket phone running KaiOS 2.5, and the app store won't even load on it anymore 1/2 the time just giving a connection error. 🤬

It works fine for most people, with the camera and AI integration being fantastic selling points, but for people wanting to do anything hardware intensive, a different flagship phone will likely do the job better...
Currently rocking an se3 and out of all my android phones this one is closer in performance to the galaxy a54
The SE 3 is a beast.
@ depends at times but pretty decent for entry level iPhone
I remember getting an iPod Touch 7 from target
Love your videos man
if the pixel is fast enough for you then absolutely main it, it's the best android phone imo
I'm using a Google Pixel 8!
use the Pixel phone for the week and also use it in desktop mode playing games with a controller connected to it so we can see how it runs please.
Yeah I have the Pixel 9 Pro and the cameras are basically as good as my mid range pro Sony camera

Why don’t you buy gadgets also
Like tons of random gadgets?
Pixel 9pro Xl from a life long iPhone user love this phone
Pixel is amazing.
Hey thanks for this type of video i am india and seeing this phones so cheap really makes me happy ❤ and love your funny attitude so much please continue with this technology videos love them❤
Why do I feel weird that you have a new pixel😂
Target sucks.
People always say competition is good, and while that's true, the "competition" is anything but. Imagine spending three dollars more at target for an already overpriced package of boxers at walmart. Someone from Wally World must have infiltrated Kroger and Target and had them ridiculously inflate the prices.
If you’re going to target and buying this many phones? They gotta put you on a list.
iPhone XR is 6 years old… still holds up though.
DIMEMSITY 6100+
that is the same chip as in the galaxy a15 5g but it'll probably run better since samsung's software be really heavy nowadays
I actually dig the flip phones with some smart functionality, wish they would release a cheap blackberry imitation version. Guess thats not happening with the patent on the exact keyboard blackberry is using. Imho not really interested in a pixel review as there are thousands on youtube already with full tear down. I come here to see dirt cheap phones and weird smart phones and you pushing them to the max. Glad for you that you could write it off as a business expense this way though lol. Enjoy your new phone(s).
Post more free or cheapest smart phone videos please
16 gb of space in pixel?? Huh
im getting goggle pixel 9 pro for hannukkah this week yayyyyy switching from the Motorola Moto G stylus 5g 2021

Uhh John, the Xr has an A12 bionic chip
KaiOS has it roots in Firefox z OS
Editing Tip: Never put white text on a white background, use contrasting colors.
I’m actually 10 hour run from 812 813 is in the iPhone 11 not the XR
Using pixel 8 here
Is it only me, or does Johnzoid look like as if JerryRigEverything had a brother it would be him.
Matter of fact, his commentary does feel pretty similar to Jerry's.
Hi, I'm a pixel 8 pro user and it's great 👍 I have no complaints 😁
You uploaded in the perfect time
I have the pixel 9 and I love the cameras on it
Kai OS? Banned on The Cluster and the whole of the League of 20,000 Planets.
I like the idea of KaiOS but at least with the phones released here in the US it's not been a great experience(I have a Cricket Debut Flip with KaiOS V2.5, and an AT&T Prepaid Cingular Flex 2 on KaiOS 3.1) , and with the latest version it dropped a lot of the Google integration like the assistant, an actually TH-cam app that lets you search with voice, etc.. that made KaiOS useful as something just above a basic flip phone.
Edit: I just checked and on the Cricket phone running KaiOS 2.5, and the app store won't even load on it anymore 1/2 the time just giving a connection error. 🤬
I love Google pixels
