Google Pixel 4a

So it comes with the asterisk that all the rest of the phones have had, but if i'm getting five hours of screen on time comfortably with this phone an...

This is what i think of. What's going on with pixel's kind of direction right now, i think it's a cool direction, though i think it's the right move f...

Like, don't get me wrong, i just bought a pixel 4a 5g and I'm loving it. I'll use this phone until it's time to move on. That being said, the revelation that future pixels will no longer feature unlimited cloud storage, along with Google's recent dropping of previously available consumer-friendly features elsewhere (looking at you, photos app), and now just today seeing them say that the Google Pay app is going to start charging fees for instant transfers... And then there's the big uptick in ads on YouTube that started recently, as well as the terms of service saying they're going to start putting ads on small creators videos without adding them to the partners program. I'm really seeing Google move in this direction of "taking features away one inch at a time, not giving you anything in return, and hoping you don't notice.".

Had high hopes for this phone, unsure if I trust 5g so I wanted to get a new 4g phone while I still could get one. I've been trying to buy "pure" android phones since the operating system launched. I have the original pixel and absolutely love it, perfect size, great camera and it's fast (to me at l...

Perfect. Small enough to be one-handable, but big enough to view content without feeling claustrophobic. I have heard of quality control issues on Pixels, but my 4a came to me flawless. Hopefully it stays that way, knock on wood.

I gave this 3 stats because of the software. I felt like google could've done a better job especially since this is a pure android device. The notification system is stupid. When someone text me and I respond to it from the notification window the text remains there in the notifications. If I'm the ...

This isn't my first foray into the world of stock Android; I've previously owned a Nexus 6 and 9, and a Pixel 2 XL. My initial thoughts on the 4a is that it's a bargain, the OS is quite smooth, the display is good but not mind blowing.

I finally switched from Samsung and Motorola phones to a Pixel. I had read a lot of websites extolling how good of a price it was based on the features and decided to give it a chance. Overall, I would say that it is worth the money, but, having it for a few days now, there are some obvious pros and...

Received my new phone, a Pixel 4a, on Monday. Here's my thoughts so far.

Google claims phone battery last 24 hours, not even close. 12hours max so far with data and bluetooth turned off and shuting down some other bells and whistles. I don't use my phone much. Spotify check out FB. I haven't given the camera a test yet. I switch off the annoying gestures and put the home...
