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

The phone is solid, it does everything I would expect, it replaced my Pixel XL and for the most part I am happy with the phone. However, in my research last night I found that unless you are on Verizon and get the Verizon Pixel 4a 5G you will not have access to what most would consider true 5g, which is is anything in the 6ghz spectrum and above at the time of this writing. The 5G you will get on carriers other than Verizon is called Sub-6GHZ, and while speeds and coverage are better, it seems like the industry is boasting of its mmWave service in their advertising and I think this is what most are expecting when they here 5g. Does this matter much today? No, most people dont get a mmWave signal, I had to call ATT to find the nearest one to me and it is over 1500 feet away, which is the about how far an mmWave signal can reach, assuming no obstructions. In most cases it wont reach that far given the obstructions it will have to pass through. This is not meant to cast a negative light on the phone, just to give realistic expectation if you get one.

Phone ringtone is a mess, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, and the worst part is that there isnt vibration either! I have to be looking at phone constantly to know if someone is calling.

I like him very much.

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.

My wife uses this as a work phone as well as a personal device. It has held up well for the last year. there have been no complaints of lagging or battery life, so she is happy.

Short 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.

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.

bought it November 2020 the phone does not worth the 599 dollars i paid that time.i have it for a little less than three years and it is getting warm very easy regardless of my desperate attempts to update it and solve the problem. Finally i thought to change the battery so that i can solve the problem because when i first bought it i did not have an issue of over heating. The people that i took it, said to me that they would not try and put a new battery because the screen is paper thin and it brakes very easily . So i have to buy a new phone because battery plus screen is almost 140 dollars.

One 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.

Im not high-tech when it comes to my cell phone. This replaced my old Motorola flip-phone, as 3G is no longer supported by AT&T. I dont use all the features as of yet. Every time I play with it, I find more and more useful features. Very high quality resolution and a very sharp image. I would recommend.
