Google Pixel 4a - user opinions and reviews

76 hours is not a great score but it is not bad either. The Honor 8 I have used for the past 3.5 years was rated at 70 hours, and for 2.5 years this was adequate though not great. It is only in the last year that the battery has started to show its age, though fast charging really helps alleviate this problem. The Honor 8 also showed me that audio is actually an important element (since I am listening to news/videos often), which the phone overlooked.
With Huawei/Honor no longer an option due to the US fiasco, the 4a looks to be a good choice for those of us who want Android, don't play games and appreciate good practical cameras, stereo speakers and headphone jacks. Of course, there are alternatives, and which of them is better depends on your use case. This can only be a good thing, we can finally grab a good smartphone for under 400 Euros and expect it to last us 3 years with few compromises.

Ah yes, my 2 mp ultrawide lens is a necessity to survive.

So you don't buy a very cheap one, it should last longer than 2 years.
