Coming soon - the Google Pixel 4a 5G! But will it be bigger and better than its predecessor?
Some early reports suggested the 5G version will be an XL version of the Pixel 4a, with a larger screen than its 5.8-inch sibling. However, recent leaks suggest the 4a 5G will share the same size screen and body. Maybe the recent leaks have been manufactured to create some marketing buzz ahead of its release.
What will be different is the processor. The 4G model has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chip that doesn’t support 5G. The most obvious choice for the Google Pixel 4a 5G will be the Snapdragon 765G which is more than capable of powering that much-desired 5G capability. It's also being suggested that the Pixel 4a 5G will also have a capacitive fingerprint scanner.
Even if the Pixel 4a 5G ends up being the same size as the Pixel 4a, there are rumours of a larger battery, which will be needed with a new chip and 5G modem on board. And leaked renders hint at a second camera as well...as well as no headphone jack. However, this could well be an oversight given the headphone jack is part of the Pixel 4a. All rumours and speculation should be replaced with concrete facts once the device is released with the next few months.

The Google Pixel 4a has now been announced, and we've been lucky enough to spend time with it. Here's what we think so far.
Stupidly cheap for what you get, great camera, solid battery, impressive software, nice design
No 4a XL this year, no water resistance, no wireless charge
The simplicity of design flows through to the software which is clean, proactive, free from bloat and a joy to use, especially compared to other lower-price Androids. The device focuses on delivering everything you need and very little extra, with Google's services and AI doing the heavy lifting...
The Pixel 4a looks to have hit the sweet spot in terms of price and performance, offering a very capable phone and an excellent camera at a bargain price. There are some compromises along the way though, so be sure to weigh up the competition as well.
Another great camera, Really appealing price, Pure Google experience
No 5G, Relatively small screen, No telephoto zoom
But they are pricier, and for what you’re paying the Pixel 4a is a great handset. Though if you look beyond Google’s offerings you can get some very tempting alternatives for similar money, such as the OnePlus Nord and Moto G 5G Plus.
Flagship-quality camera, Great interface, Good value
Plastic back, 60Hz refresh rate, Average battery life
The Pixel 4a is Google’s best smartphone in years. It is small, light and feels great. It has an OLED screen that is colourful, crisp and big enough for most things. Performance is good, the battery lasts a solid 31 hours between charges and the camera is leagues better than the price may suggest.
Pros: great camera, good screen, good software and update support, good battery life, headphone socket, relatively small, fairly inexpensive
Cons: no 5G, only single camera, no wireless charging, no water resistance, no expandable storage
The Google Pixel 4a is an inexpensive smartphone with a camera that's ideal for 'point-and-click' photographers who aren't too fussed about multiple cameras and lots of options.
Price, Compact size, Easy to use camera (point-and-click), Headphone jack
Battery life, Photos quality drops when using the zoom, No wireless charging, Feels less expensive
Google Pixel 4a: The Pixel 4a is a fabulous smartphone: compact, lightweight, streamlined and very reasonably priced
Amazing camera, Refined software, Cheaper than Pixel 3a at launch
Shorter battery life than rivals, No 5G (yet), No IP rating
It’s official: you don’t need to splash the cash for a great camera on a phone anymore. Instead, you just need ...
