> 24 hourEl único detalle es el plástico del cual está hecho, se ralla con mucha facilidad, la funda es indispensable, afortunadamente los case de Google están muy chulos. La cámara de lo mejor, el modo noche es increíble, se hubiera agradecido una pantalla con mayor resolución pero vaya, nada es perfecto.

> 24 hourGood 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.

> 24 hourI was a fan of the pixel, had the 2XL for a long time and it held up for several years against the competitors until about 2021, 2 and a bit generations later I thought Id upgrade. The 4a doesnt feel like an upgrade from the 2 at all. The camera is not noticeably better and laughable to competitors on the same generations. I understand its a budget version, but for a phone that sells itself on camera capabilities, the focus Id expect wasnt there. Within one month I started seeing functional problems where touch screen wasnt responsive, Google assistant wouldnt work even with the phone unlocked, and never locked despite enabling it to unlock at home. I wont comment on the 5G performance as that could be a location/network issue but very disappointed with this purchase and wouldve been just fine sticking with the 2. The 4a is probably literally worth what they pay for a trade-in.

> 24 hourAt first it was ok for the price. Pictures are amazing once you take them (well get to that). The 5G depends on what carrier you have. For me I have T-Mobile and half the time if it says 5G and full bars, that basically means I have no service and cant connect to the internet. If I have 5G and its half or very little bars, that means I have good service. I know, its stupid and makes no sense. The OS is good overall but as usual, Google is stripping down or dumbing down all their services in some way or another. That means for the Pixels less options and less customization. So if theres a way you can revert back to Android a year ago, then do it. Otherwise its ok but inching closer to the Apple* mentality of heres 1 option, just take it. Now for the camera. Holy hell the delay when you hit the button and it actually taking the picture is absolutely abominable when you first start the camera app. If youre an iphone user, this is your ammunition. You can use this to make fun of Android, full stop. Its hilarious. If youre a photographer and need to capture stuff in the moment, stop reading this and buy something else. Its atrocious. I took a 2 minutes 4k video and it took 15 minutes to rotate the video 90 degrees. Yep. If youre willing to wait sometimes up to 5 seconds to take your picture then this is good haha. Everything else is typical android. Overall, just save your money and get the flagship pixel phones with a processor thats actually worth a damn like the Pixel 4, 4xl, etc. They made sure to put the 5G capability in the mediocre models and it sucks.

> 24 hourWorks perfectly fine. I expected a Google box or something but just came in a cardboard box. (Made for phone) not sure if thats how google does it or not. Did come with charger but it sucked. Nbd considering type c is easily accessible. Camera is good as expected. Id just recommend using another charger. Other than that perfectly fine.

> 24 hourI like this phone except for the gestures. The (back) gesture is ackward. You can switch to three button controls if you want. I like the Motorola controls better. Ive only had this phone for a couple of weeks so Im sure Ill get used to it. I would recommend this phone.

> 24 hourThe Google Pixel 4A 5G truly sounds impressive on paper with its Night Vision mode, powerful videography capabilities, 5G connectivity, extensive suite of apps, large file storage capacity, all-day battery, video streaming, yadda yadda yadda. And its THIN! And its LIGHT! - Only 168 grams! Theres only one problem, however. It is as fragile as a potato chip. Six days ago, I was walking through my neighborhood with my nine-month-old Google Pixel 4A 5G in my front right pants pocket. The Pixel was encased in a Spigen Tough Armor case and was equipped with a tempered glass screen protector. Due to an unfortunate encounter with a dog, I tripped and fell - on my back, mind you. I was fortunately not hurt (although to this day I hope that worthless dog gets struck by lightning), but when I pulled my Pixel out of my pocket to exchange phone numbers with the dogs owner, I discovered the damage you see in the attached pictures. The phone display showed what I can only describe as a green screen of death. From that moment to now, the phone has been totally unusable. The front screen is destroyed, the headphone jack is destroyed, and the back cover has partially separated from the front of the phone. And all this from a drop of about 33 inches. (Im not a tall guy!) A drop that occurred while the phone was not only in its protective case, but was still in my pocket! Which leads to two philosophical questions. First, if a phone has impressive capabilities, yet is too fragile to take with you on a walk, what good is it? I dont play video games, nor do I watch movies on smartphones. And if I want to take pictures, there are plenty of good cameras that I can buy. My Pixels capabilities are worthless to me now, and I am out $500 dollars for a phone thats turned into a piece of junk. Second, whats with the obsession that manufacturers and sellers of certain things have with weight and size? Were constantly being bombarded with marketing that says that we should buy the lightest, thinnest versions of certain very expensive things - as if the presence of even two or three extra grams will pin us to the ground. Its not like were competing in the summer Olympics! I am thinking right now of the Greek myth of Sisyphus being punished eternally by being forced to roll a large boulder up a hill only to have the boulder slip out of his hands just before he gets to the hilltop. And I can imagine someone coming to him and saying, Dude - the reason you cant roll that rock over the hill is because of the smartphone youre carrying! It adds weight and slows you down! You should buy one of our phones, because they dont weigh anything more than air! Thin + light does not always equal cutting-edge quality. Thin + light = cheap sometimes.

> 24 hourShort 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.

> 24 hourThe phone works fine with battery or pictures , but its very delicate so think before buying, take insurance if needed will save some money I bought this for 450+ now google is asking me $149+ taxes for repair but it was under warranty what a joke .. so on durability 0/5

> 24 hourWhen I visited stores the Samsung phones were always hot and that is why I switched to the Pixel. Photos are great, it charges quickly, and holds the charge for a long time, but many of the options are irritating. For example, if I hold the volume button the media volume is changed instead of the ringer volume. Ring volume should be first and I should not have to go into the volume options to choose ringer volume. I and other people I know with Pixels have experienced issues while texting and agree it is not intuitive. Other phones often do not receive our text, but they show as sent. It is very random. I feel like the phone requires too much effort and wish it was more user friendly.
