> 24 hourIve been on the market for a new phone wanted something with large memory capacity and awesome camera system without paying a high price tag for it so I stumbled across the pixel 4a 5g Ive always been an Android girl so wanted to stick with what I know this phone is very nice fits in my hands well good size and weight. Runs fast and takes amazing pics. All my stuff from my old Samsung A50 fit on memory and I still got 100gb out of 128 pretty awesome. And the battery is amazing Im on my phone a lot and battery will last me about a day and half playing games texting surfing the web all that sometimes battery will last 2 days just depends. Speakers are loud if there turned all the way up you can feel vibrations in the phone it doesnt bother me but might others. The screens picture quality is very crisp and clear adjust to the lighting very fast. I love my new phone would definitely recommend to others.

> 24 hourOne day in and Im very happy with this phone. I inserted my Verizon 4G LTE SIM card and it worked without issue. My city does not have Verizons 5G UW band, and as for Verizons other 5G, the Nationwide band, coverage is hit or miss anyway based on their coverage map for my town. But who cares about 5G? I spend 97.5% of my time on WiFi. Even before the pandemic forcing work from home full time I still used WiFi in the office. Check the coverage maps and consider your use case, and realize its stupid for Verizon to charge an extra $100 for the same phone that they also load bloatware onto and place other unnecessary restrictions on. Update: There must be no such thing as a 5G SIM card because I was out the other day and my signal showed 5G anyway.

> 24 hourI got new hearing aids whose controlling app required a version of Android newer than Oreo on my favored but ancient LG V20. So I wanted a new phone that would support the app plus 5G plus a 3.5mm jack plus did not cost an arm and a leg. the 4a 5G fit the bill and I have been very happy with it. I had live translate on my old phone that let me hear what the tour leader was saying while on the bus and it is still there. But in addition there is live captioning that translates audiobooks, videos, calls etc in real time. I also prefer the fingerprint reader because I have doubts that face-recognition would would with covid masks. The battery is a little under-powered (I had a 10,000 mah monster for the V20 which had easily replaceable batteries) but it picks up quite a bit of charge in a few minutes. So I am very happy with this baby.

> 24 hourLiked everything about this phone, better than my galaxy s21. Battery life is good, camera is excellent, and Google is easier to you than standard android

> 24 hourIts pretty great so far. There are some issues with service but thats just where Im at work lol. But its great. Works with Straight Talk!! Update: Switching from a Note 8 to this has been a bit difficult but not too bad. Theres some functions I wish this had (but can mimic ok) that are on the note series phones but all in all its been a great perchase. And HOLY SHEEET the pictures and video are awesome. Great phone for the price point. My only gripe is the screen could stand to be a bit brighter in the sun. Thats it though.

> 24 hourEl teléfono en sí es un salto adelante en la experiencia global, pero eso no lo hace exento de uno que otro problema. Vivo feliz, es rápido, todo carga según lo esperado, y soy incapaz de volver a celulares de menos categoría ya que la fluidez de la interfaz y la carga de todo se echan en falta. Ahora, cosas que he notado: - No he sido persona de protectores de ninguna clase, y en este se nota mucho la versión antigua de Gorilla Glass. Jamás había tenido tantos microrrayones en tan poco tiempo como los que he tenido con el Pixel 4a 5g. Comprarlo junto a un buen protector de pantalla debería ser obligatorio. - Siempre se lee que el teléfono no sufre de ningún lag, y eso es verdad el 90% del tiempo. Tan pronto empieza a calentarse un poco, sea por lo que sea, se empieza a notar bastante, especialmente en la cámara. Más de una vez he visto la pantalla congelada mientras trato de tomar una foto. No tengo celulares de igual o más categoría con los que comparar así que no daré más vueltas en este asunto. - A mi gusto, la pantalla tiene una leve tendencia hacia el amarillo, con colores más cálidos que otras. Por otra parte, un montón de cosas buenas: - Doble toque, levantar para despertar y demás acciones que usan los sensores funcionan excelente. - El lector de huellas dactilares funciona de maravilla. En mi anterior teléfono tenía que secarme el dedo cada vez porque con muy (MUY) poco sudor ya fallaba. - La cámara trasera, para fotos, es de lo mejorcito, ni que decir de la visión nocturna. En video si se nota que no hay procesado de Google, aún así los diversos modos dan mucho juego. - La pantalla se ve muy bien, y es muy espaciosa. - La batería tiene una duración aceptable. - El brillo máximo no es tan alto, pero aún así se puede manejar en exteriores. - Siempre al día, las actualizaciones directo de la fuente y sin intermediarios. Lastima que Google cape algunas funciones, bastante interesantes, si se está fuera de EE.UU.

> 24 hourFirst of all, it gets timely updates straight from google. This alone is the killer argument for this phone. The UI is snappy, though I turned off some swipe gestures as they were interfering with zooming in chrome. The apps I am using on it are running smooth. It has good connectivity and the call quality is also very nice. Videos look great and the sound this phone puts out is better than I expected. Battery life is good, even when using it as a hotspot. The camera is not as important to me than to all the reviewers on YouTube. It seems to be a very nice camera, but I did not test it extensively to make any qualified statements about it. The only think to improve would be the aspect ratio of the screen. I personally prefer wider screens, but a narrow screen like this is not a deal breaker for me.

> 24 hourAt first it was ok for the price. Pictures are amazing once you take them (well get to that). The 5G depends on what carrier you have. For me I have T-Mobile and half the time if it says 5G and full bars, that basically means I have no service and cant connect to the internet. If I have 5G and its half or very little bars, that means I have good service. I know, its stupid and makes no sense. The OS is good overall but as usual, Google is stripping down or dumbing down all their services in some way or another. That means for the Pixels less options and less customization. So if theres a way you can revert back to Android a year ago, then do it. Otherwise its ok but inching closer to the Apple* mentality of heres 1 option, just take it. Now for the camera. Holy hell the delay when you hit the button and it actually taking the picture is absolutely abominable when you first start the camera app. If youre an iphone user, this is your ammunition. You can use this to make fun of Android, full stop. Its hilarious. If youre a photographer and need to capture stuff in the moment, stop reading this and buy something else. Its atrocious. I took a 2 minutes 4k video and it took 15 minutes to rotate the video 90 degrees. Yep. If youre willing to wait sometimes up to 5 seconds to take your picture then this is good haha. Everything else is typical android. Overall, just save your money and get the flagship pixel phones with a processor thats actually worth a damn like the Pixel 4, 4xl, etc. They made sure to put the 5G capability in the mediocre models and it sucks.

> 24 hourFirst of all, I had the phone 4 days and Im still putting it though its paces. The first thing I noticed right away after downloading everything is the battery life. The battery life is incredible on this phone...wow. I had it a few days now and I got, 10hrs 28min on screen time over 2 1/2 days with time left to spare. I didnt make it to battery saver mode. This is with a mix of heavy, med to light use. It charges pretty quickly also. It took 1hr and 5mins to charge from 17% to 100%. Love the camera and this is one of the reasons why people buy this phone. And the extra Google features they put on this phone. And the timely upsides of course. I was surprised to find out that I had 5g. Its pretty quick, T-Mobile version with me on Mint. Im getting 40mbs to 162 dn to 15.9 to 57 up in areas Ive tested so far. My friend is getting 7.4 dn where he lives so, everywheres different but so far Ive been getting it everywhere I go. Its a nice simple phone and its the Goldilocks of the new Pixel phones. No issues so far, works great. One I thing I dont like is, the location of the power button on top coming from Moto phones. Other than that love the phone.
