I've literally just got myself a Pixel 7a, before then I've been using three different Moto models (G8 was the most recent I think). Each lasted about 3 years, none cost over 200 quid - so my comments are based on that experience...
> I found the touchscreen got a bit confused by rain
No. If its absolutely peeing down it'll be in some sort of placcy bag, but basic food bags let you operate the touch screen through them anyway. I've used mine a lot in winter, so snow landing on it doesn't seem an issue either.
> and that the screen wasn’t really bright enough in sunny conditions. Neither of these things an issue for you?
Seeing things in bright sunshine has only been a problem for me using the Rockfax app oddly, don't remember any issues with the OS app. Maybe something to do with the colours used? The OS app was super glitchy on my last Moto - a real pain and would crash strava as well which otherwise seemed to work flawlessly. On my new fancy pixel the OS app so far is smooth as silk. I'm hoping to ride either the Rebellion Way or King Alfred Way this summer holiday, so I guess that will be the first big test of whether the phone is enough!
