Pixel 4a 5G Review: Hands on | Trusted Reviews

After spending time with Google Pixel 4a 5G one thing is clear: this is closer to the Pixel 5 than the 4a. This should probably be called the Pixel 5 Lite.

Hands on: Google Pixel 4a 5G review

The Google Pixel 4a 5G shouldn't be seen as a ‘Pixel 4a XL', but rather a ‘lite' version of the new Pixel 5.

Clean Android experience 3.5mm headphone jack

A touch slow in use Hit-and-miss camera experience

With the same cameras, chipset and connectivity, and a similar design, the Pixel 4a 5G is very similar to Google’s Pixel 5, but its lower price should give it broad appeal. As an overall package it’s a fine mid-range 5G phone, and the Android...

Google Pixel 4a 5G review: A smarter choice than the Pixel 5?

The largest Pixel model for 2020 may well be the best - offering some bonus points over even the Pixel 5. Here's why it's the one to buy.

Great display - larger than Pixel 5 ; Super camera experience ; Includes 3.5mm headphone socket ; Speaker offers great quality ; Sensible price - less than the Pixel 5

No waterproofing ; No optical zoom camera - and there's a 2x digital zoom bug

This phone makes the most sense in Google's 2020 Pixel series line-up. It's cheaper than the Pixel 5, has a larger display, and the same great camera, making it a win in our books.

Google Pixel 4a 5G review

Is the Google Pixel 4a 5G a good entry-point if you want to get 5G connectivity without spending a fortune, or does it miss the mark?

– Great camera and superb software

– Unconvincing against the competition

The Pixel 4a 5G is a very good phone, boosted significantly by its highly impressive camera performance and Google’s signature streamlined software. However, take a look at your top priorities and your available budget before buying this one over the...

Google Pixel 4a 5G

While the name highlights 5G support, the Pixel 4a 5G is really about other things. It's the Pixel purist's XL choice, with cheaper rivals able to offer more impressive specs

Google Pixel 4a 5G review

How does Google's mid-ranking phone score?

Excellent main camera, day or night ; Uncluttered software ; Guaranteed quick Android updates

Just OK battery life ; Plastic casing

If you want a fairly simple phone that gets software updates quickly, has 5G and a fantastic camera, the Pixel 4a 5G is a solid bet. Don’t care about 5G? The standard Pixel 4a is also worth a look as it is significantly cheaper. Its screen is smaller,...

Google Pixel 4a 5G Smartphone Review

The Google Pixel 4a 5G is a more wallet-friendly smartphone option that still offers premium technology. It also has similar specs to the more expensive Pixel 5 so can it stand should-to-shoulder with its more expensive relative? Let's find out.

If you're going to buy a new Google Pixel smartphone this year, the Google Pixel 4a 5G should be it as it's cheaper than the Pixel 5 but shares the same cameras, and other technology, while offering 5G connection. It also has a larger display than you...
