Pixel 4a: Full Specifications

Compact and straightforward, the Google Pixel 4a centres its appeal on Google’s clean Android experience and a carefully chosen set of practical features. Its 5.81 inch OLED display delivers a sharp 1080 x 2340 resolution at 443 ppi in a slim body that measures 144 x 69.4 x 8.2 mm and weighs 143 g, making it notably easy to handle. The soft touch polycarbonate unibody is paired with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the front, while a rear fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack keep the design functional rather than flashy. Inside, the Snapdragon 730G works with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, and the phone launched with Android 10 with at least three years of OS and security updates promised by Google. Photography is built around a 12.2 MP dual pixel rear camera with optical and electronic stabilization, backed by features such as Night Sight, Portrait Mode, Live HDR+ and Super Res Zoom, plus an 8 MP front camera for selfies and video calls. A 3140 mAh battery, 18W fast charging, Nano SIM plus eSIM support, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi Fi ac round out a device that stays focused on everyday usability.

Pros

  • Best value for money: A sleek, nearly bezel-less design with a punch-hole camera in the front and a 12.2 MP industry-leading rear camera, a fast UI and ample RAM and storage, the Pixel 4a is the budget phone pick of the year.
  • Good battery life: One of the major complaints against even the flagship Pixel 4 was its less than impressive battery life. That has been fixed in the Pixel 4a which has all day battery life.
  • Clean Android UI with no bloatware: Most premium Android manufacturers ship phones with a lot of bloatware. Not surprisingly, Google’s android is the cleanest version and one guaranteed to get software updates for at least 3 years.
  • Fantastic Cameras: Pixel phones have been known for their camera technologies and the Pixel 4a is no different. Video, as well as photos, from both its cameras, offer industry-leading performance in daylight and lowlight.
  • Physical fingerprint sensor and a headphone jack: Two very useful features that will make some users very happy.

Cons

  • Snapdragon 730G: Android phones usually use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips and flagships phones often use the powerful Snapdragon 855+ chips. The Pixel 4a however uses the mid-range Snapdragon 730G. That said, from all reviews and real-world tests on the phone so far, it looks like the phone is not noticeably held back by its processor which is still very fast.
  • Lacks premium features like wireless charging and IP water resistance rating: These are the sort of necessary trade-offs that come with a mid-range phone.
  • Available in only one colour: The Pixel 4a is only available in black. So you can pick any colour you want, as long as it is black.
