Google Pixel 4a with 5G - Android Phone - New Unlocked Smartphone with Night Sight and Ultrawide Lens - Clearly White

When I visited stores the Samsung phones were always hot and that is why I switched to the Pixel. Photos are great, it charges quickly, and holds the charge for a long time, but many of the options are irritating. For example, if I hold the volume button the media volume is changed instead of the ringer volume. Ring volume should be first and I should not have to go into the volume options to choose ringer volume. I and other people I know with Pixels have experienced issues while texting and agree it is not intuitive. Other phones often do not receive our text, but they show as sent. It is very random. I feel like the phone requires too much effort and wish it was more user friendly.

Great phone. Great camera. My one issue is a little technical. I would like to sort favorites into folders from my Camera selection of photos. Instead, favorites get their own folder within Camera which is separate from the other folders. I cannot select photos from Favorites and move them to folders from there. I can only create a private album from favorites. Its not intuitive. It makes sorting my pictures difficult.

Just broke completely with no reason after 2 years, after my first Pixel broke the same way, after 2 years. Before purchasing it, I believe Google Support told me this model would have a better life, so I naively purchased this newer model. 2 years later, here we go again, broken again, I have to spend all this time I dont have to discuss the matter, find a new phone, reinstall everything, and grieve my lost data. No mention to the financial waste for me, and ecological waste for the planet. I reached out to the support team who seemed comprehensive at first. After they failed at helping fixing the problem, they advised me to try to get it repaired somewhere since my warranty expired (I guess phone warranties are so short nowadays as brands are totally aware they sell you crap), or to get a new phone. They gave me a 20% coupon, but I reached out again as I was still concerned about getting one of their phone after the 2 phones I got failed me so bad. The person advised me to get a Pixel 7 which will have an improved battery and life. With the current sale + my coupon, the price would be ~360$. Not bad he said. Except that when I added the product to the cart and applied the coupon, the sale was removed so the final price was MORE expensive than when I didnt apply a coupon at all. I reached out AGAIN to the support team who after a while told me to contact another team. I contacted this other team today, I have enjoy to waste time with people who are not helpful at all, and a robot like person kept saying Sorry - discounts are not stackable showing no sign of concerns as the previous team lied to push a customer to purchase a product, and finally shut the conversation after a while. I didnt even ASKED for a coupon the first time, so why a company would send an unusable coupon at the first place, valid to purchase phones only except that if you use it youll pay a more expensive price than anywhere else?! its insulting and just shows the lack of consideration of a company for their customers.

I received my 4A 5G with much excitement, with high expectations based on reviews i had seen before. However, there some things that I had to note. Pros: 1. Compared to most of my previous phones, the sound quality was pretty good. I wouldnt think a typical user will be disappointed with the output of the speakers. 2. Screen quality wasnt bad. This isnt a flagship and so comparisons to one wouldnt be fair. 3. The fingerprint scanner was pretty fast and accurate. 4. If charging before bed, the battery would last throughout the workday and evening for me with moderate use. 5. Love the camera. It was a major reason for purchase and it didnt disappoint. Cons: 1. While the phone did facilitate a transfer of settings and data from my old phone, it didnt do so all that well. Photos did not always come across in their original albums, and worse (for some reason) didnt all keep the dates. the result was a jumbled mess that took ages to rectify. It was made worse with the fact that the phone didnt come with USB-A connection. And No, google photos only made it worse, sending tonnes of jumbled images i did not want backed up, to my drive. 2. while the stock android experience is great in that it leaves you free from bloatware, the apps preloaded (which largely can all be deleted) dont always compare to the contemporaries used with lets say Samsung. I had far more control and enjoyment using their photo gallery, integrated readers, and even the phone app. As an example, If a contact had multiple numbers assigned, I couldnt easily determine which had been used most recently without scrolling down however far to find it. Samsung took far fewer steps to show all numbers for the contact and the dates/times connected. The lack of bloatware meant id have to load items to be able to function, so I had to get a new gallery app, and pdf reader. 3. the largest issue i had was that in the setup process, the phone was alarmingly warm. This was far worse than the setups of any of my previous phones, even the so called cheap and slow ones. I also noticed it got warm again (though not as significantly as during setup) at points when multiple applications are running. Those werent big apps either (e.g. scrolling through the notes app while on a call). Edit: Since my original post Ive noticed that during video calls, the phone regularly got hot; alarmingly so. restarting and ensuring multiple applications werent running at the same time didnt seem to help. In one instance I was in an airconditioned car, with sunlight on the phone, though not particularly hot to the point where Id even sweat. The phone within three minutes gave an overheating warning and started to shut down functions. Im still a bit concerned given the fact that my previous lower specd phones did the same tasks without overheating to this degree. How will the phone hold up if Im in the warm outdoors for a protracted period and need to maintain contact for emergencies.

Fast shipping. Phone works great at a great price. Would confidently by from seller again.

The clean Pixel look and feel at 5G on Metro combined with a earphone jack is a great buy! The stereo is better than my Pixel 2 or ZTE ZMAX ever was and the battery Life is nearly 2 days (YMMV). Put it in a nice case and the LK glass screen protector to keep it pristine during my skiing and hiking (I hope). Almost the same size as my Pixel 2 but almost a full inch bigger screen with twice times the storage.

I havent purchased a new phone since the Note 5 came out. Finally had to get me an upgrade and this phone is full of surprises. I love the fingerprint reader. I also have an iPhone 11 but Im not a fan of the face reader. The battery life is AMAZING. I usually work 10 hour shifts and even with me using Spotify, live YouTube streams and the like i still go home with 50% battery. I love this line of phones.

El 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.

Now I know why these were on sale here. Does not work on Verizon 5G. Might not work on other 5G networks also ? Its a nice phone, but I bought it to use on Verizons 5G network. Now the sales are over and Im kinda stuck with it unless I want to cough up more $$ to get one that works on 5G. Should have gotten the phone at the Verizon store while they were marked down. Stupid me...... I had tech service try to figure it out a couple of times. Been in the store also. Just had them install another 5G sim card in the phone. Still doesnt work on 5G. UPDATE Just left the verizon store again with a new sim card. I get some 5G in spots now. My buddies Samsung phone is 5G almost all of the time. Mine isnt most of the time and were in the same place. Ive also been getting weaker signals and more dropped calls than my Pixel 2XL that i just retired. This is the first and only time i buy a phone off of a website. I would consider this phone a factory second. If my 2 XL wasnt losing battery capacity, id send the 4A 5G back for a refund.

Great phone! My first Pixel and I love it. Even though its 60hz, its still smooth. NO BLOATWARE!! Just straight stock Android. Battery life is actually very good. I went to sleep at 10pm with 89% battery and woke up with 85% battery. By noon, I was at 58% with heavy use... Twitter, You Tube etc. By 6pm I was at 35% battery. Im OK with that! Dont buy the $1200 phones. If you want all the gimmicks then go ahead and pay the $1200. Ill never buy an expensive phone ever again!
