Google Pixel 4A 5G (128GB, Black) Australian Stock - Refurbished (Excellent) review

The Google Pixel 4a 5G is difficult to place as it's not a premium smartphone but it's too expensive to be considered a true mid-range or budget smartphone. However, if we did have to pigeon hole it, it would certainly be a good mid-range option or as it shares several of the Pixel 5's features, you...
Pros:
  • Price, Great display that&#x27
  • s bigger than the Pixel 5 screen, Easy to use camera, Headphone socket, Brilliant camera AI
Cons:
  • No telephoto lens/optical zoom, Not waterproof

The Pixel 4a 5G has a lot more to offer than the regular 4a, especially for those looking for an XL Google phone. However, it has serious competition from cheaper rivals.

  • Big screen for XL fans
  • Excellent cameras
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • Rivals are cheaper
  • 60Hz display
  • Fast charging only 18W

Pixel 4a 5G Review

The 4a 5G is a mash-up of both the 4a and Pixel 5 and in many ways that makes it the hardest to recommend. It lacks some of the more ‘flagship’ features of the higher-end model and is missing the downright affordable price tag of the 4a.
Pros:
  • Great camera
  • Excellent software
  • Promise of updates
Cons:
  • No 90Hz screen
  • Pixel 5 is only £100 more and worth it
  • Design is a little bland

Great value phone, but broken features

Overall, it's been a great phone, easily one of the best at it's price. Only complaint is that tap-to-pay causes an error on any payment terminal, despite allegedly working according to the phone. Tried multiple apps for payment which had all worked on my Samsung device, but online research indicates it's a widespread issue which Google doesn't seem likely to fix.

Excellent phone except placement of power button

Everything is good about the phone, battery, pics, performance, size, display. The only correction I could suggest is if the power button and the volume button could have been interchanged. If you are watching any video and you want to increase or decrease the sound you have to use the secon hand.

Pros:
  • Another great camera, Really appealing price, Pure Google experience
Cons:
  • No 5G, Relatively small screen, No telephoto zoom

Google Pixel 4A 5G (128GB, Black) Australian Stock - Refurbished (Excellent) review

The Google Pixel 4A 5G is a good phone for reasons that have almost nothing to do with the “5G” in the name. The ostensible reason for the phone to exist is to offer 5G connectivity to customers who want a more affordable phone. It starts at $499 for most carriers but costs $599.99 on Verizon.
Pros:
  • 6.2-inch OLED screen, Great camera, including ultrawide, Good battery life
Cons:
  • No IP68 water or dust rating, No wireless charging, 5G tax increases price, especially on the mmWave version

Google Pixel 4a 5G Review

The Pixel 4a 5G offers excellent camera performance, a top-notch Android experience, and 5G connectivity for under $500, but Google's Pixel 5 ultimately delivers better value in the long run. If you’re confused by Google’s new Pixel lineup, you’re not alone. After releasing the $349 Pixel 4a earlier this year, the tech giant is back with the $499 Pixel 4a 5G and the $699 Pixel 5. Confusingly, the Pixel 4a 5G has more in common with the Pixel 5 than its less expensive sibling, and then there’s the $599 Pixel 4a 5G UW, which is the model you need for 5G on Verizon. Confusion aside, the Pixel 4a 5G is a solid midrange phone with excellent cameras, fantastic software, and 5G access for as low as $499. That said, it doesn’t offer the same all-day battery life, wireless charging, and water protection as the Pixel 5, and if you want the $600 Verizon model, the value proposition lessens. Design and Durability  The Pixel 4a 5G sports a boxy and utilitarian design that feels uniquely Google. Measuring 6.1 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.9 ounces, the Pixel 4a 5G is the company's largest phone this year, though it's still relatively light when compared with other 5G pho...
Pros:
  • Excellent cameras
  • Solid performance
  • Guaranteed OS upgrades and security updates for three years
  • Headphone jack
Cons:
  • Questionable durability
  • No wireless charging
  • Adding Verizon mmWave connectivity costs $100
