> 3 dayNothing but mobile data problems- hoping it is mobile provider(s) ??? Been thu 2 sim cards and 2 providers so far!! Have set screen touch sensitivity several times, but have to touch icons, etc several times for a response... 90% of the time. Sometimes a pop up gives me options to do different things except go directly to the app I am trying to get to - WHY? Today I am talking on Whatsapp & get a warning the phone is overheating!!! Caller screening never works 2 times in a row. The screen brightness set even at 100% BRIGHTNESS is still impossible to read outside on a sunny day. I am totally unhappy, disappointed, and feel like I have been ripped off spending 0ver $400 on this phone. Amazon did give me a discount for wrong charger that came with it, but now that seems soooo minor. I am 10 days past refund, is there anything I can do for a replacement or a refund??? UPDATE as of May 28 2021... STILL terrible problems with screen sensitivity. And Google even acknowledges it & keeps saying a fix has been sent in a Feb Update - Not on my Pixel 4a 5g. This phone, from what I have read, had some problems from the start, yet Google sold it as though it was a phone in working order. I for one think it should be recalled with the option of refund or replacement. My next phone will not be a Google Pixel I am afraid.

> 3 dayVery easy setup from my old phone. This phone is fast and plenty of storage. Does everything I need beautifully. The battery life kind of sucks. The display is dim not as clear as my Motorola

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayDisplay 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.

> 3 dayI am amazed with the great and quick delivery of this phone! When I opened it, i am very pleased! It surpassed my expectations, the setup was quick and its a good phone with superb matte black design which I adored and the camera was perfect! I am happy with my purchase however i give it 4 stars since theres bo back button wherein we can go back to our previous tabs! But so far it passed my standards! Thankful since i got it for a good price! Better than paying 1,000 dollars for a smartphone! So if you are thinking to switch like me , dont hesitate to buy this! Its worth it!!

> 3 dayShort and sweet. My first venture into a Google phone and like everything Google it is the best. The layout and functions are easy to navigate and as for the camera, better than my Nikon. The display is crystal clear and it comes with an earphone jack which for me is great because I love to listen to audiobooks and my wire-less earbuds lose power too often. More features than I have time to go into but I can say more than others. Just a novice review but by a very happy buyer.

> 3 dayEl 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.

> 3 dayOne 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.

07-06-2025The phone is in the right price range and functionality, but was defective. While it could make calls, it could not receive calls. The store employees that helped us said that this was a common problem with this phone. Also, Google apparently did not lay the necessary groundwork to assure the phone was compatible with the T-Mobile network. We verified that it was compatible with the Sprint network, but did not know 2 important caveats: 1) the phone can only access the 5G Sprint network in downtown Chicago, and cannot access the T-Mobile 5G network at all, 2) the phone is NOT compatible with the T-Mobile network that Sprint customers are being moved to. We liked the initial polish and functionality but it was defective and we switched to a Samsung (more expensive) phone which worked without issue.

Greater than one weekcaveat: I only buy unlocked phones. You dont have to go to a store to setup the phone. Its not that hard to move a SIM card. Starting it the first time took some time, but a lot of that was downloading apps and sync. There was a step where I connected my old phone to transfer everything I wanted over. The phone works great. The screen is beautiful and bright. Havent really tried out the camera much, yet. A nice thing about it being from Google is the latest version of Android will always be available.
