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

I will keep this review short and sweet. I got this phone mainly because Qi charging was listed as supported. [17] Qi-compatible. Wireless charger sold separately. No. It is not Qi-compatible. If you want to charge it wirelessly, you need to buy a receiver -- not the same as a charger. Even with a receiver you will still need a charging pad. Ive seen all sorts of misleading information about this feature and Pixel phones. Some even saying that wireless charging support came in around Pixel 3. According to Google -- this phone does not support Qi charging. If you want the wireless charging, get the Pixel 5.

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.

Its a great mid grade phone. No phone in perfect, but this is top of the line out of mid grade phone to me. I could feel different in a couple of years but now its great.

The phone works fine with battery or pictures , but its very delicate so think before buying, take insurance if needed will save some money I bought this for 450+ now google is asking me $149+ taxes for repair but it was under warranty what a joke .. so on durability 0/5

Ive had this phone since April 2021. I previously had a Nexus 6P then a Pixel XL. I had high hopes and expectations for this phone. Alas, even after just spending $500 on this phone Im considering moving to an iPhone. Why? This phone and Android 11 is just eh. Randomly laggy, buggy, and definitely not as buttery smooth as my partners iPhone SE 2020. Ive loved my Google phones. Ive loved the stock Android experience. Im a Google One customer and my entire electronic life is wrapped up in the Google ecosystem. So I was hoping that buying the top of the line of both would have resulted in a stellar experience. But even after factory resetting it multiple times and being VERY picky about what apps Ive installed, the entire experience is just eh.

I have to say I really like the phone. BUT when I tried to get service I could not because the unlocked phone I bought from Amazon IS LOCKED and could not be unlocked according to their tech department. Only recourse is to return it. VERY DISAPOINTED. It was the perfect size for my hand. I dont understand how they did not know it was locked. Seems like a lot of things I have bought lately do not match the description on Amazon and land up getting returned. The convience of Amazon is turning into a real hassle.

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 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.

I love my new phone its been easy to adjust to working with the added bonus.All the added bonus have worked well with my lack of Tec skills.After having a phone that didnt work too easily it is nice to have one that is wonderful. So far the only problem was finding a accessories like a case and protection glass cover,found only one as the phone is new.

I like him very much.
