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

I switched from the Samsung S line of phones to the Pixel 4a 5g about a month ago. The controls took a few hours to get used to, but it overall was easy to adapt to. I keep my phone in a case, so I dont notice any difference with the phone being plastic instead of glass. The phone is powerful enough for everything Ive had to do. It runs apps simultaneously without problems. My biggest issue is that google disabled smartcast on any device other than a Chromecast. Theres no real reason for it other than google trying to force me to buy more google products. It may seem like a small issue, but its enough of a nuisance to stop me from buying another one for other family members.

Display is gorgeou, responsive inputs even with large figers, stellar sound quality and great camera for the price range. Awesome range of both usb and wireless device support, great cpu power for the cost, really good battery life unless you crank up brightness and run gpu heavy apps as expected. Be sure to invest in power banks for streaming games and other media as well as native android games. 5g is glorious if verison ever lets visible out of that strangling grip and raises those caps a bit I will be a happy camper. This phone is wonderful though. Well worth the price.

For the price, the 4a 5g is a great buy.

The battery life and the big screen are probably my favorite things about this phone. Battery lasts 2-3 days for me on a full charge with mixed use compared to my galaxy s7 which would only-just last through the day. The camera is also solid. My only complaint is that there arent more case options. Really happy with my purchase. Would def recommend.

El único detalle es el plástico del cual está hecho, se ralla con mucha facilidad, la funda es indispensable, afortunadamente los case de Google están muy chulos. La cámara de lo mejor, el modo noche es increíble, se hubiera agradecido una pantalla con mayor resolución pero vaya, nada es perfecto.

I was a fan of the pixel, had the 2XL for a long time and it held up for several years against the competitors until about 2021, 2 and a bit generations later I thought Id upgrade. The 4a doesnt feel like an upgrade from the 2 at all. The camera is not noticeably better and laughable to competitors on the same generations. I understand its a budget version, but for a phone that sells itself on camera capabilities, the focus Id expect wasnt there. Within one month I started seeing functional problems where touch screen wasnt responsive, Google assistant wouldnt work even with the phone unlocked, and never locked despite enabling it to unlock at home. I wont comment on the 5G performance as that could be a location/network issue but very disappointed with this purchase and wouldve been just fine sticking with the 2. The 4a is probably literally worth what they pay for a trade-in.

Finally a phone wheres others can hear me without asking me to continually repeat myself!! Also, Im able to hear clearly others without trying to clarify!! Excellent camera is a real bonus. After playing around with it a bit, adding microsoft launcher to it adding navigation buttos on the bottom, I had it just like I need, super awesome!! The audio and camera alone makes me want to make this my most favorite cell phone ever!!

I bought the phone in early September and really liked it, awesome battery life and for me, had all of the features I needed. Just over 2 months since I started using the phone it died. Went to bed one night with a battery showing 80% and it the morning the phone was off, could not get it to turn back on. Contacted the seller and all I got from them was an email stating: hello, the 30 days return period expired. please check a different charger and cable. if issue persist, call google or 3rd party repairs. water damages are not covered. I did notice that if you purchase the same device today, from the same seller, the return window is open until January 31 2022. Real shame I had to buy the phone when I did. Trying to find support for a dead phone is useless on the Google website, just keep going around in circles and when you call them the message is Due to the Pandemic, we have a minimal support staff, please check our website for help then they hang-up. I wanted to buy an Android phone from an American company, guess not. Looks like Ill be sending more of my fixed income to china. Really bad time to be retired in America, really feel Ive been scammed.

Yeugh.... I was excited about the spiffy camera, mostly the reason I bought it. But it turns out its full of bloatware, and Google apps completely take over all your interface. Contact app was a mess, first had to figure out how to remove all the email contacts synched to it and once I did, the remaining contacts were uneditable. Maybe a bug? The stupid black search bar on the homescreen is unremovable, so I after much forum searching I had to actually had to download a Launcher app to customize my home/side screens to get that out of the way. I dont like haptic feedback on my phone (the vibrations when touching) so I turned it off, but I was still getting them when using the keyboard tool. I also did not like the weird low sounds of the keyboard tool instead of a regular click or tap sound, so either I had to download a new app for that (which there arent many for Android 11 or Pixel) or just ignore it. And unfortunately all these new phone models are so large, so if you have small hands, it makes it difficult to grab the entire phone comfortably while touching the screen. So have to go one-handed mode, plus have a finger loop or something to keep it in place while you use it. But I cant reach the opposite top of the screen anyway. Battery life is good, video stabilization is good. Didnt try many other features before I gave up and returned it. Now just waiting on my refund and hoping we get some decent smaller models on Samsung...

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!
