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

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

Just got this phone a few days ago, so still evaluating it but wanted to clarify one point that some users are having a different experience with-the 5G functionality with VZW. Ive attached a photo showing that the 4A 5G that I received from Amazon DOES work with VZWs 5G band. Just wanted to get that point out here on the reviews, based on what I had read here I was ready to handle just a 4G connection, so Im excited to see that 5G icon! So far, love this unit. Ive always been a pixel fan, except for the pixel 4 and its huge forehead and chin, seemed to go opposite of the smartphone trends. Say what you want about a plastic build, but I love it. Its so light. And whats is the big draw to a glass back build? Glass breaks people, plastic doesnt. And have fun paying for that glass replacement, since none of the phone insurance plans will cover it. And what do 99 % of us do with our glass sandwiches??? Slap a rubber or plastic case on it. Id rather have the plastic build, yes with a case, but the weight is so much less since it isnt wrapped in glass. Big proponent of the pure google experience on the pixel series and no overlaid UI from the manufacturer. Battery life on this one is good. Started out at 830 this morning and at 1900 was at 45%. Plenty of screen time during the day. So no complaints there. Speakers are incredible. Any time you have to turn the volume down on a phone cause the sound effects are blowing you away on that game or movie, is a sign of a great set of speakers. Charge time is fine. Not as fast as some of the flagships, but Ive been able to go from 25% to 68% in 20 minutes. Thats good enough for me, and Im rarely away from a plug or a battery pack, so charge time isnt a huge factor for me. The fingerprint reader is what weve come to expect on the pixel - Faster than lightning. The in screen readers on the flagships are just no where near as reliable or fast. Ill have to get used to the rear mount again, but thats not a problem for me. If you need face recognition or wireless charging then this isnt the device for you obviously. But I dont list that as a kick in the nuts to the pixel 4A 5G, it just doesnt have it, so if you need those options then look elsewhere. For my money, 459 for this phone is an awesome deal. This will be my daily driver for the near future, for sure.

One positive of note: Nicely designed with high screen-to-size ratio. Am hoping the current bugs will get worked out to upgrade this rating.... Despite other reviews: My battery lasts about 13 hours, ugh!; thats less than my 3aXL. And have had zero luck connecting to my Bluetooth speakers or smartwatch, bummer. Cant yet tell if photos are better or worse overall but telephoto shots remain poor. Despite self-isolating and therefore telling the phone it should not password-lock at this address, it locks up every time I go to use it after any more than just a few minutes. Update: Smartwatch & remote speaker have linked up with phone and so that warrants upgrade from 3 to 4- rating. The other concerns remain. Google does continue to make sometimes small but worthy refinements with their new models. Side note: I use ADW launcher which works satisfactorily. Have yet to find an excellent weather app as a clear, bold multi-day weather banner above app icons on home screen.

I like him very much.

Everything works great, migration from my LGv20 was easy using the included cord. It has a headphone jack. Everything is fine. The only complaint (and I should have done a little more research) is the screen is a little smaller than I expected. The LGv20 is specd at 5.7 while the Pixel4a5G is 6.2....but the pixel is 19.5:9 while the older LG is 16:9. I knew this, but I thought the extra 1/2 inch would have more than made up the difference, but I didnt do the math. The end result is the pixel screen is ever so slightly smaller. Most newer phones are going to the 19.5:9, so if you are coming from an older 16:9 phone, be aware.

I took it out of the box, turned it on, answered a few inquiries, then was up and running. Its a fast, thin, light phone. It charges quickly and holds a charge, easily, for two days. My only complaints are that is is very smooth and a tiny bit too tall. These make it easier to drop. But I adjusted and those details no longer bother me.

Im a little biased since i went from an iphone 6 to this but i am pretty blown away. At first i was disappointed in the display and camera and thought it was grainy until my dumb*** took off the protective film that comes on it brand new. The display is clear and great, the camera is just amazing, night sight is spectacular. The photo sphere is brand new tech to me so i love it! Its nice to be back with android again after so many years, i missed the customization of phones including background, app placement, sounds and so on. Finger print sensor isnt new to me, but compared to the iphone, its night and day on speed and performance. Spoiled people complain about the dumbest little things, but in my opinion this is a solid phone. Posted a before and after of night sight used.

High end devices like the Note 20 Ultra are getting easier and easier to pass up. This is a great device, I had a Note 20u for a few months because I wanted to check out the telephoto lens. Very cool and something Id love to see added back to the Pixel line but in the end it isnt worth paying triple the price. Speed wise the 4a 5g is only slightly slower than my Note 20 and in practical terms I rarely if ever notice any slowdowns. Same with battery life, Im seeing similar battery life and I had to turn my Notes refresh rate down to 60 to get decent battery life. No bloatware? Nice plus as well. My biggest beef with my note was the price and the fact that I had nagging issues with Samsungs crapware / system software. Lastpass had continual issues due to the Notes aggressive battery management. I white listed it but there was some sub process getting shut down which allowed overlay and it would cause Lastpass to stop filling. Then I had problems with getting the stupid thing to connect with my Chromebook for unlocking / messaging. The pixel just works. You would be hard pressed to beat what you are getting for the money here. Im a heavy user, dont hesitate to buy this and pass on the overpriced premium devices. They are a waste of money.

Its 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.

I use a Consumer Cellular sim card on the ATT network. The phone worked well for a while, but now it sends most incoming calls right to voicemail. I spoke with Consumer Cellular and the rep thought it was fixed. A moment after hanging up, another call went straight to voicemail. Since it is literally impossible to speak with a Google/Pixel representative, I think I am out $500. Dont buy this phone! I have managed to restore the phone to full use, and it is receiving calls again. I played with many settings, and when I disabled the VoLTE setting, the phone function returned. Go figure.
