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

I initially tried the Pixel 5 and returned that to Google. Then i waited until the 4A5G was perfected and got it last week. Easy to work with - good size on the various touch pads so i can use it easily. It seems to be the perfect upgrade from my Moto-x4 and i am very glad i got it. It comes packed with a charger . cord and pin device to get access to the sim card tray which is so easy to use. Sound is very good and can get as loud as i want. I am extremely happy with this phone.

Ive only had the pixel 4a 5g for about a week. Im not a power user, gamer or movie streamer. The phone was easy to setup and transfer data from old Samsung device. It has great features: spam call blocker, super camera, fast sharp display, etc. Android updates are very timely. Its a very refreshing change from my old samsung device.

Very nice, inexpensive 5G phone. Battery last solid 24 hours between charges. Issues with screen edge response is frustrating. Software updates are available immediately- for now. Remains to be seen if Google will support for 3 years. For now, best price 5g phone.

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.

Good for you have and use. Faster internet speed because of the 5G and size is perfect for me. I have been using for two months now and the only issue is battery life is short. I get about 8 to 10 hours normal use like calling, text, YouTube and other social media apps... But 10 to 15 hour if I only make and receive calls and texts.

I got new hearing aids whose controlling app required a version of Android newer than Oreo on my favored but ancient LG V20. So I wanted a new phone that would support the app plus 5G plus a 3.5mm jack plus did not cost an arm and a leg. the 4a 5G fit the bill and I have been very happy with it. I had live translate on my old phone that let me hear what the tour leader was saying while on the bus and it is still there. But in addition there is live captioning that translates audiobooks, videos, calls etc in real time. I also prefer the fingerprint reader because I have doubts that face-recognition would would with covid masks. The battery is a little under-powered (I had a 10,000 mah monster for the V20 which had easily replaceable batteries) but it picks up quite a bit of charge in a few minutes. So I am very happy with this baby.

I use multiple phones, and Im multi-platform, so if you ask me: Which are you, an android, iphone, mac, windows, or linux user? My answer is: yes But Ive never paid over $1000 for a phone. Ever. Never will. I like flagship phones though, and will buy a new-old-stock, or pristine used, 2 year old flagship model. This seemed to work for me quite well. I still have an iPhone 8 Plus that is awesome. Also part of the equation is security updates. Frequent, regular, like clockwork, security updates. With iPhone this is standard. With android phone makers, its hit and miss, mostly miss. Samsung does update their flagship frequently... for a time. But Samsung wants $1200 for their flagship. No thanks. Pixel? I heard Google provides regular, systematic updates. Their phones dont cost $1000. Saw some good things said about the Pixel, thought Id try the Pixel 4a 5G and see if I liked it. I do. I dont have complex needs. Other than good security, and frequent security updates, I also like good pictures and video. The phone is light, the battery lasts a long time, the screen is just a little bit smaller than my iPhone 8 Plus and far lighter. The iPhone 8 Plus was a flagship at one time, and you can tell. The build quality is phenomenol. Its also heavy, feels expensive, and the feature set and ecosphere quite complete. Almost heavy-ish. I love the phone, and its my backup now. The Pixel 4a 5G is minimalist, light, leaves you uninvolved or slightly detached from the massive Google ecosphere, unless you go in and configure the various bits and pieces of it. Im very pleased with my purchase. Refreshing alternative to Samsung. Dont get me wrong, Samsung flagship is a beast. But I never buy new $1000 plus phones. So the best that I could do is buy a used or NOS Samsung Note, which I did (a Note 9), and it was a terrible experience. Old android version, build quality was not too hot. If you ever look at buying a flagship phone that is 2 or 3 versons behind, Samsung cant cut it. Apple is much better in that scenario. But Im glad that theres something that fills the gap between flagship phones, and just a nice, new, current, phone with frequent updates. Who better to get an android device from, then the people who make android?

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.

Just like every other pixel this is amazing. Its fast and smooth. The camera is perfect for photos and amazing for videos Ive gotten amazing shots with this. The fingerprint reader is much better then the other pixels. And omg the battery life is the best part i use my phone for both of my jobs a lot at and out of the offices and this phone keeps charged. Longest i went was 3 days but that was with lite useage. Hands down you need a phone that can do what you need and more and has a battery to keep up with a long and busy work day this is the phone for sure.

Having been a satisfied Nexus 5X since November 2015 I saw no reason to upgrade. Nexus battery is finally barely lasting a day. Decided on Pixel 4a 5g. The newer phone is slightly larger but much thinner. Seamless transition only required 3 additional logins as everything else transitioned automatically with google tools. Slightly warmer on new phone when watching a video. Teetering use 5G yielding 150/150 megabits/sec from AT&T. Wish I had done it sooner since GPS works in location where Nexus didnt. Newer Android OS is much quicker responding to inputs with no pauses. Multi-day on a single charge with a more accurate battery charge state then Nexus. Great upgrade from Google
