Google Pixel 4A 5G review: more than just a bigger budget phone

Everybody wants you to care about 5G, but it's the processor and the software that matter

6.2-inch OLED screen ; Great camera, including ultrawide ; Good battery life

No IP68 water or dust rating ; No wireless charging ; 5G tax increases price, especially on the mmWave version

Google managed to make a 5G phone for under $500, an important price point. But while the networking might matter to some, the bigger deal is the faster Snapdragon 765G processor and new ultrawide camera.

Google Pixel 4a 5G Review

Excellent cameras ; Solid performance ; Guaranteed OS upgrades and security updates for three years ; Headphone jack

Questionable durability ; No wireless charging ; Adding Verizon mmWave connectivity costs $100

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.

Pixel 4a 5G review: What the Pixel is meant to be

Pixel 4a 5G delivers the full Pixel experience at an affordable price

Affordably priced ; Excellent cameras ; Reliable software updates ; Headphone jack

No wireless charging ; Relatively poor battery life

Pixel 4a 5G isn’t a flagship phone and it isn’t trying to be; with its excellent cameras and unmatched software support (among Android phones), it is an amazing option at under $500.

Google Pixel 4a (5G) Review: The Pixel for everyone

This summer's Pixel 4a is an excellent value, but its 5G-enabled big brother offers a significant upgrade for not too much more cash. It's got a larger display, snappier performance, and a more versatile camera, and it's still bargain-priced at $499....

Top-notch still photo quality ; Polished software and user experience; Lightweight design; Smooth performance; Excellent value; 5G support

No waterproofing; Plasticky build

Google Pixel 4a 5G review: The best 5G phone value

If you want 5G connectivity, the Google Pixel 4a 5G delivers in a more affordable package than the similar Pixel 5.

Large, colorful display ; 5G phone for less than $500 ; Excellent cameras ; Google's latest software

Poor battery life ; Verizon version costs more ; Subpar performance relative to similar phones

On that front, the Pixel 4a 5G holds up very well. It doesn't have the 90Hz refresh rate that the Pixel 5 offers nor the IP68 water resistance. But at $200 less, you're getting an excellent camera, 5G connectivity and no real trade-off in terms of...
