Google Pixel 4A review: back to basics for $349

It's cheap and basic, but neither word should be taken as an insult.

Only $349 for 128GB of storage ; Excellent camera for photos ; Decent battery life

Sometimes stuttery performance ; Mediocre camera for video ; No wireless charging

Google has priced the Pixel 4A at just $349, which is $50 less than the iPhone SE. Even at that aggressively low cost, the phone delivers a best-in-class camera for photos. Will the slower processor hold up to years of use, though?

Google Pixel 4a review: Android’s affordable answer to the iPhone SE

The Google Pixel 4a isn't just cheaper than the iPhone SE, it's a step up in nearly every way.

Surprisingly nice design with lots of screen ; Incredible results from just a single camera ; Amazing price with more storage than the Pixel 4 ; Stellar battery life

Performance can be pokey at times ; No color or storage options

Whether you’re budget-conscious, feature-conscious, or are just tired of paying too much for phones that barely fit in your pocket, the Pixel 4a is a fantastic option that won’t make you feel like you cheaped out.

Spending four figures on a new smartphone never feels exactly sensible, but in 2020 it seems positively profligate. Enter, then, the Pixel 4a, long overdue by all rights and intents, but still turn…

Aggressively priced ; Camera rivals flagships ; Solid performance and battery ; 3.5mm headphone jack

No wireless charging ; Not waterproof or dustproof ; Bland design

The Google Pixel 4a has one of the best cameras in an affordable phone and it even undercuts the $400 price of Apple's budget iPhone SE. So the Pixel 4a and the iPhone SE are two of your best budget phone options, but which one should you go for?...
