Anonymous, 15 Aug 2020Really? With 4 GB RAM, no UFS storage and 1 year less of updates. I can see only one smart choice. What are you even taking about?
One year extra update is overrated. ANDROID runs fine without latest updates.
Most flagships from last year have 6gb RAM, versatile cameras, better battery life and fast charging, top notch flagship processor that will run anything you throw at it for the next 5 years unlike Snapdragon 730 which will start to slow down before the 3 year mark.

Every other review except gsmarena mentioned that pixel 4a has the best battery life among the pixel lineup! And yeah considering how crap iPhone se2 is for that price..I will go for this instead!

I'm shocked by how poor the battery results are by this year/last years standards considering the hardware choices were praised as being a surefire mix for excellent battery efficiency

Asvaberg, 15 Aug 2020No. 256GB without expandable is what I would call "plenty of storage".agreed.
Google is trying to police which cloud services people use or if they have the convenience of living without it and having another backup location for their files.
the android market is already different to iPhone, more geeks/enthusiasts so base storage standards should be higher

I saw some real world tests on youtube and they're getting over 6 hrs sot and sometimes maybe even 7 on the 4a, which is more or less the same as the xperia 5. Feels like something's wrong with this test...

800+ nits of brightness with auto mode? Hallelujah, my ONE complaint of Pixels not being good in direct sunlight is resolved. Keep this going forward and I'm a happy customer. I get my 4a a few days late from Best Buy, but I'm hype for it!

I used it for two years, many times fell down always in a case but without a screen protector. This phone is still is excellent condition. Gorilla 3 is sufficiently strong.

Try it. You will see excellent photos taken very fast since under light Pixel 4 nightsight is very fast.

Google should’ve made the phone to 160gram because of a minimum 4000Mah battery and bump up the price to $399.

Note 9 pro will sell in 10 million pieces, and your software 4a cr..ap in 100k. It's obviously who win like always.

Pixel 5 and 4a 5G both use 765 or 765G.

Dometalican, 15 Aug 2020Considering Google should be advertising the Pixel line as clean Android phones with zero bloa... moreWhy should it have had an even bigger battery? It's battery is already best-in-class, easily beating the likes of iPhone SE and 1+ Nord.
It also has a class-leading camera which easily matches and even outperforms almost all Android flagships, as well as silky-smooth software, making it perfect for people who use their phones to do loads of photography and intensive browsing. Sure, an ultra-wide camera would have been nice, but it would bump up the cost, while the camera is already far ahead of the competition, anyway, meaning the marginal benefit of having that extra lens would be quite small marketing-wise. And a telephoto lens isn't necessary given its zoom is already better than a good majority of phones in the price range (including main rivals 1+ Nord and iPhone SE).
I don't really understand your concerns. I think Pixel 4a is a fantastic option for many people, performing well all across the board and having stand-out features (like flagship-beating camera and clean, smart software) not offered by any other phone in the price range. Don't let this review misguide you. They probably had a faulty unit, anyway.

They may have simply gotten a faulty unit, as they are the only ones who have had any issues with selfie cam focus (which is not even seen to be an issue in their photo samples).
