Google Pixel 4a Phone (Just Black) packaged with a Google Seal for Online Marketplace Meet Pixel 4a the helpful Google phone at a helpful price. It comes packed with the things you want most in a phone, like a camera that takes great low-light photos, a battery that lasts up to 24 hours,[1] and the new Google Assistant.

[1] Approximate battery life based on a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features, with always on display off. An active display and other usage factors will decrease battery life. Pixel 4a battery testing conducted in Mountain View, California in early 2020 on pre-production hardware and software. Actual results may vary. [2] Android version updates for at least 3 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.

 Battery doesn't seem like that high of a number, because it's not uh the one plus nord i just reviewed - had like a 25 bigger battery. I wasn't expecting it to be great, but of course i should know better because it's a 1080p 60hz screen - and i was pleasantly surprised with the battery on the 4a. Now again, all this is quarantine lifestyle testing. 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 and ending the day with 10 to 20 left consistently, i don't think anyone will have problems with the pixel 4A'S battery, so simply put that's about it for this really simple phone for some people, it's kind of forgettable, but for others it's exactly what we're waiting for for this new pixel, it's doubled down on everything the 3a had going for it and lowered the price, and So for this price, the the lack of wireless charging or ip rating or glass and metal and stereo speakers and extra cameras really isn't a deal breaker

 I don't know if zack's gotten his yet, but i'm pretty sure when he does and he does his test, i'm predicting it's going to snap in half. I don't think the plastic unibody build is the most durable, but on the upside, it's not glass, which means it won't shatter. So you know there's ups and downs again. With this whole thing, we have to keep the price in mind 350 bucks

 Simple then there's the spec sheet. There is one size, one color, one spec simple: the whole phone is about the same size as the iphone 11 pro, but noticeably lighter. Of course, thanks to the plastic - and i like the size, i think it's a good one size to have and with that on, the front of the phone you're getting a 5.8 inch, 1080p oled display flat screen 60 hertz and that hole punch, cut out for the Selfie camera some people, don't like the hole punch to me honestly, really i've gotten used to it by now and it's better than a notch

 The no high refresh rate at this price isn't a deal breaker but we'll get to performance in a second and then the rest of this hardware package is simple. You guessed it you're on the same page. Now it's very simple: it's all matte black everything all the way around giving it not a soft touch, feel but more of like this powder coated slight texture - and i like it and of course, there's a signature. Pixel accented light green power button and actually these buttons are super clicky they're, pretty loud too

Google Pixel 4a Review: Simple and Clean!

I think where the Pixel 4a completely outshines the iPhone SE is screen resolution and battery size - both important factors to me personally, but often neglected by reviewers.

Google's Friendliest Smartphone - Pixel 4a (LTT)

 There'S no weird forehead or chin. This is like the nicest looking pixel phone we've seen from the front. The battery life because of that screen is great. I'M hitting like a comfortable eight nine hours of screen on time

 Where there's like a lot of bright and dark things in the same scene, this is where google software really shines, if you're just taking regular photos like you're, just taking a easy photo like well lit good conditions, there's nothing moving around and any modern smartphone can capture That stuff quite easily, but when it comes to more difficult images, the pixels just do it so nicely, but keep in mind that it's something that not everybody needs right. Well, for a five-year-old phone, it doesn't have 5g, though also so, if that's something that matters to you, it really shouldn't right now, but if it does, it doesn't have it either: uh oneplus nord! This is a bit different. This is a phone that is clearly focused towards enthusiasts, it's not as hardcore as a regular lineup, but this is filled with features that enthusiasts care about like fast screens fast charging, but those features bump up the price and not everyone wants that stuff. But if you're an enthusiast - and you might be because you're watching videos like mine, this would probably be for that crowd uh, it does not have the best camera, though, if you're looking like you saw the photos earlier right: okay, uh, but that's basically my thoughts on These three phones - they are all good in their various rights, but just depending what you want, what you need, it's you got to make that choice

All right, let's talk about google's pixel 4a. This is for me a very attractive phone priced at 350 dollars very clean software, excellent camera system class leading camera system. In my opinion, there's just so much going on. That is good with the pixel 4a and for a lot of people like myself that live in north america, who don't have access to the oneplus nord or don't have access to like redmi phones from xiaomi easy access to those phones

 I feel like this phone sets. The bar. Nothing is better at taking pictures than this phone when it comes to 350 phones. I will say the differences are most pronounced when it comes to difficult shots like if you're doing low light, photography or like uh like high dynamic range photography

My Google Pixel 4a Review!

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

Battery life sucks,

you can have this phone for years and be happy and trouble free!  My cons: * Small! I was used to the Moto's larger screen. This is so small. I should have gone into the store to look at the phones - I'd have gone with a larger screen Pixel. I'm older and have eye issues and this 4a is so cute and just tiny

 My fave was a Moto G I had - it was the perfect phone for me but died a year later. So sad. This is why I chose Pixel because these phones last long, and in that way I think a good value for your money.

 This is why I chose Pixel because these phones last long, and in that way I think a good value for your money.

Good phone

They sound like junk, even compared to the cheaper Pixel 4a. The processor is becoming a problem for me already.

I've used every Pixel phone. Here are my thoughts on the Pixel 5 after a few months of use.

 I suspect the screen and slight lip might be enough to reduce the friction so that even small vibrations can send it off in some direction but I've never caught anything actually doing it, and I didn't have the problem with my old phone (maybe it liked me more?) It's a cute source of jokes in my house.  I've had the phone for about a week and a half and so far am liking it a lot.  Pros: Nice weight, good responsiveness Cons: Misinterprets light touches, turns off while looking at it.  The cons might be something I just need to hunt down settings for

  Pros: Nice weight, good responsiveness Cons: Misinterprets light touches, turns off while looking at it.  The cons might be something I just need to hunt down settings for. It seems to be over sensitive when I try to swipe. It's often drilling down to the next screen when I don't want it to

Snappy phone but it keeps ending up on the floor!

Google Pixel 5 | Six Months Later Review

I found myself frustrated with Android's inconsistency and lack of uniformity with its UI design. I switched to a Google Pixel 5 in hopes that it would be better, since Google made the phone.

Honestly, Samsung does a far better job of this with their first-party apps. There's at least a clear distinction between "Samsung app" and "everything else," although this also means their theming and customization features work really well in some places and really poorly in others. Still, Google could probably do a better job with their apps given that they also have a lot of influence in the design language of third-party Android apps.

I found myself frustrated with Android's inconsistency and lack of uniformity with its UI design. I switched to a Google Pixel 5 in hopes that it would be better, since Google made the phone. I now realize that the issue I have is with Android itself, with material design. I also am now finding myself beginning to hate Google apps, such as Gmail, Calendar, Home, etc., for the lack of integration compared to Apple's ecosystem.

I wish Microsoft would rebuild Windows Phone OS based on Android, and just start a new OS with better uniformity, integration, and based on their Fluent Design.

I'd switch to Apple's ecosystem if it weren't for the ridiculous price it would cost for me to switch back...

Remembered this thread from a few weeks ago. Just noticed something else. I have in a row on my home screen: Clock, Phone, Messages, Contacts, Settings. All default Google apps that are blue, but they're aren't even all the same shade! 

Can't screenshot the home screen anymore, but it's such a simple overlook

It's actually kind of mind-blowing that Google still doesn't have a consistent theme in place. I hate using Google apps (phone, messages) and still seeing switches that are not the theme color I chose in Wallpapers &amp; Styles.

 I think it's a very capable phone with a ton of capability and the future of this thing is bright. You know it may not last as long as the Google Tensor chipset devices like the Pixel 6 and 6 pro, but I think this phone is at a very interesting spot. I think the future of this device looks great and I'm excited for it for sure. If you have the money, go for the Pixel 6 or 6 Pro, but I think this thing is a very capable machine for sure, so that kind of covers it

 Now you do have a 90 Hertz panel on it too, which I am completely here for. 120 hertz would have been really, really cool, but in 2020 really the main people who were doing 120 Hertz was Samsung. There were obviously other you know, like oneplus and everybody else. but 90hz is so good, especially for this thing not being like a you know 1000 phone

 Again, could it be better? Could it have reverse wireless charging those types of things? Absolutely. But I still think the way this phone is situated now makes this battery life pretty decent in my opinion. You know better on the you know, more on the better things for sure. And ultimately I think the Google Pixel 5 is still completely worth it in 2022

 I had a really good battery life on this thing as well and even now when I you know pick it up, I do have Android 12 on it. I plan on installing Android 13 once it comes in like a pretty stable beta. Maybe it'll be better in battery life. I'm not 100 too sure, but I think as of right now the battery life on this device is a very very good pro of this device too
