I use multiple phones, and I’m multi-platform, so if you ask me: Which are you, an android, iphone, mac, windows, or linux user?
My answer is: yes
But I’ve 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, it’s 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 don’t cost $1000. Saw some good things said about the Pixel, thought I’d try the Pixel 4a 5G and see if I liked it. I do.
I don’t 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. It’s also heavy, feels expensive, and the feature set and ecosphere quite complete. Almost heavy-ish. I love the phone, and it’s 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.
I’m very pleased with my purchase. Refreshing alternative to Samsung. Don’t 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 can’t cut it. Apple is much better in that scenario. But I’m glad that there’s 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?

So i bought this in August,2022.
The camera is great as you can expect from a pixel device. The night mode is also good. the ultra wide is not exactly ultra wide as you see on other phones but it does take some good ultra wide photos and you also get the unlimited backup on this pixel. This feature is not available for pixel 5 and above devices. So this pixel 4a 5g is the last device to have this.
The battery is okish, it can get you through the day. I use this as a secondary device so I can get easily 2 days with it.
The display is very good but if you come from using a QuadHD+ display then you might notice some subtle difference. the touch responsiveness is also very good. Always on display is nice to have.
It comes with 5g so its future proof. I got this shipped with android 11 but got the update for android 13 right after I turned it on.( android 13 launched just a few days ago). In terms of latest updates you will get all latest updates ahead of any other manufacturer.
The ram management is okish but it can suffice daily usage requirements. This phone is not for high performance. I am yet to install pubg on this and test it on that angle.
the phone comes with a 18W type charger and cable included but the pin is not the indian pin, it is the standard western pin. but its good to see a charging brick in the box these days. the charging speed is not damn good, its okish. It takes 1.5hrs something to charge to 100%
I would recommend you to not update the software on this phone and go with the software it comes out of the box. The more you update, the sh*ttier the phone gets later on (speaking from personal experience from android phones).
After 3 months :
So I’ve updated the phone and it is working really good(that is something I’ve never expected from an android). The charging time is too much if you use it moderately.
Multi tasking is a nightmare and this phone can’t handle heavy gaming as well. I tried pubg in lowest settings and high frame rate. It lags but it can manage. I am looking to buy a more watt power brick for this may be a 65W brick as I’m not used to wait for so long to charge the phone. I used one plus and iPhones before so they charge so much faster and this charges so slow even with 18W charger.

Solid phone, got it to use with tmobile and it works good on the 5g band. Nice bright screen with no OLED burn in. No sd card which is kind of a bummer, lightweight smooth feeling plastic housing that looks good and a screen that’s not too offensively big. Good battery for just general phone activities I usually end the day around 40-50% with medium to light usage. No trash bloat apps from carriers and my recommendation is to go into app info of all the apps you don’t use and hit disable on them and enable remove animations in accessibility settings to make the phone feel super quick. It’s a generally good phone and I just needed something smaller and after my previous phone was too big in my pocket. I don’t game on my phone but I wouldn’t expect 60fps from newer games on this. I use the headphone jack daily and there’s no hissing or unwanted noise from the internal dac so it’s good enough for Spotify or your mp3s. Fingerprint is fast and my only gripe is I hated the stock launcher it came with so I just use the Microsoft launcher from the play store. It’s a phone and if youre just some guy or gal that needs something reliable Id say this is a good place to start. Cheap phones have gotten good especially if you are willing to shop a few years back. Id take this anyday over the newer entry level LG and Moto phones provided by Carriers. Of course all phones will eventually fail but for 170$ I can’t complain when that time comes.

I’ve been impressed with the Pixel series of phones which is why I bought this one, no regrets. The price/performance ratio makes them a great choice. I love the fact that you get stock Android without all the bloatware other manufacturers install on their phones, and you get Android updates quickly.
The battery can last over 48 hours depending on use, but even with heavy use it lasts the whole day, the camera takes great pictures, and 5G is fast. My old Pixel 3 XL (4G LTE) gave me about 80 mbits/sec download, this phone gives me over 500 mbits/sec download.
Size wise it’s right in that sweet spot, it’s a touch smaller than my Pixel 3 XL but not by much. I debated getting a Pixel 5 but it’s a little too small, and for some reason there is no Pixel 5 XL, in a way you can think of the Pixel 4a(5G) as the Pixel5 XL. I find the fingerprint scanner on the back is perfectly positioned for my hand size, and the case (Spigen Tough Armor) I bought guides my finger directly to it so I can quickly unlock my phone.
There are a few areas they could have improved on, I wish it had Gorilla Glass 6 and a 90HZ refresh rate like the Pixel 5 but in reality it doesn’t really matter that much, the touch screen works fine and animations are smooth. It also lacks water resistance, but if you don’t use it in the rain/snow and take care of it you’ll be fine. The 128GB storage size is adequate for me but there are probably people who could use more.
It’s the best phone I’ve had and I definitely recommend it.

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. I’ve attached a photo showing that the 4A 5G that I received from Amazon DOES work with VZW’s 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 I’m excited to see that 5G icon! So far, love this unit. I’ve always been a pixel fan, except for the pixel 4 and it’s huge forehead and chin, seemed to go opposite of the smartphone trends. Say what you want about a plastic build, but I love it. It’s so light. And what’s is the big draw to a glass back build? Glass breaks people, plastic doesn’t. 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. I’d rather have the plastic build, yes with a case, but the weight is so much less since it isn’t 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 I’ve been able to go from 25% to 68% in 20 minutes. That’s good enough for me, and I’m rarely away from a plug or a battery pack, so charge time isn’t a huge factor for me. The fingerprint reader is what we’ve 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. I’ll have to get used to the rear mount again, but that’s not a problem for me. If you need face recognition or wireless charging then this isn’t the device for you obviously. But I don’t list that as a kick in the nuts to the pixel 4A 5G, it just doesn’t 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.

Es un gran teléfono. Por tamaño y capacidad es una muy buena opción. Además qué es 5G no tienes que pagar una gran fortuna
