> 3 dayFinally a phone wheres others can hear me without asking me to continually repeat myself!! Also, Im able to hear clearly others without trying to clarify!! Excellent camera is a real bonus. After playing around with it a bit, adding microsoft launcher to it adding navigation buttos on the bottom, I had it just like I need, super awesome!! The audio and camera alone makes me want to make this my most favorite cell phone ever!!

> 3 dayThe battery life and the big screen are probably my favorite things about this phone. Battery lasts 2-3 days for me on a full charge with mixed use compared to my galaxy s7 which would only-just last through the day. The camera is also solid. My only complaint is that there arent more case options. Really happy with my purchase. Would def recommend.

> 3 dayEl teléfono en sí es un salto adelante en la experiencia global, pero eso no lo hace exento de uno que otro problema. Vivo feliz, es rápido, todo carga según lo esperado, y soy incapaz de volver a celulares de menos categoría ya que la fluidez de la interfaz y la carga de todo se echan en falta. Ahora, cosas que he notado: - No he sido persona de protectores de ninguna clase, y en este se nota mucho la versión antigua de Gorilla Glass. Jamás había tenido tantos microrrayones en tan poco tiempo como los que he tenido con el Pixel 4a 5g. Comprarlo junto a un buen protector de pantalla debería ser obligatorio. - Siempre se lee que el teléfono no sufre de ningún lag, y eso es verdad el 90% del tiempo. Tan pronto empieza a calentarse un poco, sea por lo que sea, se empieza a notar bastante, especialmente en la cámara. Más de una vez he visto la pantalla congelada mientras trato de tomar una foto. No tengo celulares de igual o más categoría con los que comparar así que no daré más vueltas en este asunto. - A mi gusto, la pantalla tiene una leve tendencia hacia el amarillo, con colores más cálidos que otras. Por otra parte, un montón de cosas buenas: - Doble toque, levantar para despertar y demás acciones que usan los sensores funcionan excelente. - El lector de huellas dactilares funciona de maravilla. En mi anterior teléfono tenía que secarme el dedo cada vez porque con muy (MUY) poco sudor ya fallaba. - La cámara trasera, para fotos, es de lo mejorcito, ni que decir de la visión nocturna. En video si se nota que no hay procesado de Google, aún así los diversos modos dan mucho juego. - La pantalla se ve muy bien, y es muy espaciosa. - La batería tiene una duración aceptable. - El brillo máximo no es tan alto, pero aún así se puede manejar en exteriores. - Siempre al día, las actualizaciones directo de la fuente y sin intermediarios. Lastima que Google cape algunas funciones, bastante interesantes, si se está fuera de EE.UU.

> 3 dayI use multiple phones, and Im multi-platform, so if you ask me: Which are you, an android, iphone, mac, windows, or linux user? My answer is: yes But Ive 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, its 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 dont cost $1000. Saw some good things said about the Pixel, thought Id try the Pixel 4a 5G and see if I liked it. I do. I dont 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. Its also heavy, feels expensive, and the feature set and ecosphere quite complete. Almost heavy-ish. I love the phone, and its 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. Im very pleased with my purchase. Refreshing alternative to Samsung. Dont 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 cant cut it. Apple is much better in that scenario. But Im glad that theres 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?

Greater than one weekIts 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.

> 3 dayI switched from the Samsung S line of phones to the Pixel 4a 5g about a month ago. The controls took a few hours to get used to, but it overall was easy to adapt to. I keep my phone in a case, so I dont notice any difference with the phone being plastic instead of glass. The phone is powerful enough for everything Ive had to do. It runs apps simultaneously without problems. My biggest issue is that google disabled smartcast on any device other than a Chromecast. Theres no real reason for it other than google trying to force me to buy more google products. It may seem like a small issue, but its enough of a nuisance to stop me from buying another one for other family members.

> 3 dayNothing but mobile data problems- hoping it is mobile provider(s) ??? Been thu 2 sim cards and 2 providers so far!! Have set screen touch sensitivity several times, but have to touch icons, etc several times for a response... 90% of the time. Sometimes a pop up gives me options to do different things except go directly to the app I am trying to get to - WHY? Today I am talking on Whatsapp & get a warning the phone is overheating!!! Caller screening never works 2 times in a row. The screen brightness set even at 100% BRIGHTNESS is still impossible to read outside on a sunny day. I am totally unhappy, disappointed, and feel like I have been ripped off spending 0ver $400 on this phone. Amazon did give me a discount for wrong charger that came with it, but now that seems soooo minor. I am 10 days past refund, is there anything I can do for a replacement or a refund??? UPDATE as of May 28 2021... STILL terrible problems with screen sensitivity. And Google even acknowledges it & keeps saying a fix has been sent in a Feb Update - Not on my Pixel 4a 5g. This phone, from what I have read, had some problems from the start, yet Google sold it as though it was a phone in working order. I for one think it should be recalled with the option of refund or replacement. My next phone will not be a Google Pixel I am afraid.

> 3 dayThe absolute best thing about this phone is the fact that it has NO BLOATWARE! I have always had Samsung and Motorola phones before buying this Pixel. Samsung was good but I was tired of the bloatware that came with them. Motorola has much less bloatware but the cameras were not top notch. This Pixel being less expensive than other so called flagship phones has been serving me perfectly so far. I have had it for about one month now. I would highly recommend it!

Greater than one weekI had a moto 7 plus before this and it, with the extra sd card, did everything this one does. THe Pixel 4a lacks the slot for extended memory, but capacity is greater. THe camera is pretty remarkable, but not sure worth the premium price tag.
