Managed to secure one of these sweet phones on release and haven't looked back... Intuitive and a joy to use!

At first it's quite a bit different from my previous HTC U Ultra, and I was disappointed that the newest HTC phones weren't available in Australia, but I am supremely happy with my Pixel 4a 5. It is highly customisable which I like, it is practical and highly functional in it's setup and layout and the IA contained within is exactly what you expect from Google...the makers of the driverless cars and giant drone commuter vehicle. And with the 4G and 5G capabilities it is way more useful for many more users than the newer and maybe flashier 5G only phones.

Cannot fault.. Performs really well. Nice clean UI.. Battery Lasts at least 2 days

The Pixel 4a 5G is the best mix of battery life, price and capability of this year’s Google smartphones. It isn’t as nice to hold as the £599 Pixel 5, but the rest of the experience is essentially the same, just with a slightly bigger screen and longer battery life of more than two days.

Pros: great camera, good screen, great software and update support, great battery life, relatively inexpensive, headphone socket, 5G.

Cons: no expandable storage, no water resistance, plastic body is a bit plain.

Google Pixel 4a 5G: If you’re comfortable with spending a bit more, then the Pixel 4a 5G is worth the extra cash

Excellent value, Similar hardware to Pixel 5, Long-lasting battery life

Cheaper design, No wireless charging, No face unlock

I have been a Samsung person for a long time. I am starting to like the phone. Google needs to come up with a better notes app that you can lock. Only downside is Samsung notes is the best compared to this.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Pixel 3a debuted at Google I/O 2019, and it was closer to budget smartphone nirvana than any phone in the US that came before it. That was, until Apple responded with the iPhone SE .

Price In America, this is a lot of phone for $350. In fact, I see no reason to buy any currently on sale Android smartphone that doesn't cost as least twice as much as the 4a., Camera This phone uses the same sensor and optics as the Pixel 4 (which were the same as the Pixel 3, etc.). You can tell.

Soft touch plastic It greases up almost instantly, just like the Nexus 5 (one throwback that hasn't aged well, IMO)., Auto-brightness Google thinks my issues are relatively isolated, but I've had consistent issues with the autobrightness freaking out.

Last year's Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL incorporated flagship specifications, but had terrible battery life and were priced too high. This year we see a different strategy with lower prices, midrange specifications, and fewer available options with the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G .

Latest Android software, Excellent camera software, Affordable price, 5G cellular support, 3.5mm headphone jack, Rear fingerprint sensor

Limited storage options

The Pixel 4a 5G takes the best of the Pixel 5 and combines it with the value package of the Pixel 4a....
