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

Love the camera. The wide angle lens is proving really useful during our trips. Also happy that the aspect ratio is by default 16:9 (my husbands iphone 11 keeps reverting to 4:3 which was annoying). Im happy this particular pixel still has an audio jack and a finger print scanner at the back instead of being replaced by facial recognition. I prefer the finger print scanner to be located at the bottom front (like in my moto g6) as it would have been easier to access but I understand why its designed to be in the back instead. Overall, really happy with this phone.

Everything works great, migration from my LGv20 was easy using the included cord. It has a headphone jack. Everything is fine. The only complaint (and I should have done a little more research) is the screen is a little smaller than I expected. The LGv20 is specd at 5.7 while the Pixel4a5G is 6.2....but the pixel is 19.5:9 while the older LG is 16:9. I knew this, but I thought the extra 1/2 inch would have more than made up the difference, but I didnt do the math. The end result is the pixel screen is ever so slightly smaller. Most newer phones are going to the 19.5:9, so if you are coming from an older 16:9 phone, be aware.

Its pretty great so far. There are some issues with service but thats just where Im at work lol. But its great. Works with Straight Talk!! Update: Switching from a Note 8 to this has been a bit difficult but not too bad. Theres some functions I wish this had (but can mimic ok) that are on the note series phones but all in all its been a great perchase. And HOLY SHEEET the pictures and video are awesome. Great phone for the price point. My only gripe is the screen could stand to be a bit brighter in the sun. Thats it though.

I am not addicted to my phone like most. I break them every few years and I personally cannot justify spending over $500 on a phone. This is the perfect phone. The battery life continues to empress me and the camera takes much better photos than my old Galaxy S7. The switch from my old Galaxy to the Pixel took less than 5 minutes and I was able to set it up completely myself with my existing prepaid plan at Verizon.

El 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.

I was very leary on purchasing a phone through here, we have always went to the cell phone store, but I will definitely buy through here again! This was just like the one that we bought from the store. Saved us some money from buying through here and we didnt have to be at the store for a few hours getting a new phone. switching all the info to the new one was really easy. I will probably be buying off here for now on. Highly recommend, just as described, speedy delivery.

Yeugh.... I was excited about the spiffy camera, mostly the reason I bought it. But it turns out its full of bloatware, and Google apps completely take over all your interface. Contact app was a mess, first had to figure out how to remove all the email contacts synched to it and once I did, the remaining contacts were uneditable. Maybe a bug? The stupid black search bar on the homescreen is unremovable, so I after much forum searching I had to actually had to download a Launcher app to customize my home/side screens to get that out of the way. I dont like haptic feedback on my phone (the vibrations when touching) so I turned it off, but I was still getting them when using the keyboard tool. I also did not like the weird low sounds of the keyboard tool instead of a regular click or tap sound, so either I had to download a new app for that (which there arent many for Android 11 or Pixel) or just ignore it. And unfortunately all these new phone models are so large, so if you have small hands, it makes it difficult to grab the entire phone comfortably while touching the screen. So have to go one-handed mode, plus have a finger loop or something to keep it in place while you use it. But I cant reach the opposite top of the screen anyway. Battery life is good, video stabilization is good. Didnt try many other features before I gave up and returned it. Now just waiting on my refund and hoping we get some decent smaller models on Samsung...

The 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.

I swapped it out from a Pixel 2 xl last week. It is great for that replacment if you want on the android update train again. The phone is actually not as wide as the pixel2 xl and fits in the hand better than old model. You even get a larger screen than the pixel 2 xl 6 to 6.2 in. The whole punch camera is a bit odd but learing to like over the large bezels the Pixel 2 xl had. You even get a larger battery in this phone over old one,Li-Po 3885 mAh. It is packed with 128 gig storage!

The bluebooth module is complete crap, I could be called a Power User; Smart Watch & Bluetooth Headset(s) & Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard, Ive had far better connection and reconnections with my Samsung S8 Active or even the Samsung A20 I used for a short time, even excluding the amazing DEX program provided via Samsung. Google owns and operates Android so youd expect it to be the best most fleshed out device however outside the good camera it is complete crap. You cant use any type of heavy duty case; Otterbox Defender type, because the all swiping doesnt work hardly at all with thicker cases, there is no option to use bottom buttons to avoid this. Since Google owns both Android, Chrome and YouTube youd expect at least that was perfect but it is far from even decent. You cant rotate the phone without clicking the full size button as it doesnt rotate on its own like all androids Ive used including the LG K7/8 etc. The finger print scanner is honestly the most finicky one Ive used, it requires 3 or 4 attempts to figure out your finger each and every time. Biggest irritation is the confusion internally with fast charging. Unless your using just the provided charger its hit or miss if not only will it fast charge but even charge at all. I use a 3rd party magnetic charger since I have so many devices and it works amazing with all devices except this POS. You rarely get fast charge and many times it wont even charge on its own charger. I could keep going but for the price go anywhere else, even those dreaded crap Chinese phones I listed above. Do not and I repeat do not waster your money on this pile of junk!!!!!
