It is accurate to say that I have watched a lot if not most reviews of the Pixel 4a 5g and certainly this is one of the most helpful ones, perhaps the best of the whole lot. You covered most everything well and fairly, and your presentation was concise with the right emphasis . I'll be checking out your other reviews.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Wow, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shagrabs]

I traded my Note 20 Ultra for this Phone, never regret a bit. The battery life is phenomenal. The only really negative knock on this phone is the screen outside with direct sun light. My favorite Pixel

[@GrantLikesTech]

Wow, that's saying something. Hope you continue to enjoy it!

[@Cobra_Sig]

I traded my Note 10 for this phone, no regrets at all!

[@shagrabs]

@@Cobra_Sig the Note 10 battery life was better than the Note 20 Ultra

[@Cobra_Sig]

@@shagrabs Oh wow was it? As decent as my Note 10's battery life was, so far this Pixel is killing it! My normal day's use would usually be at 15% battery life remaining by bed time on my Note 10, whereas so far the Pixel with roughly the same usage is around 30% at bedtime.

Love my Pixel 4 5g. Haven't got to use the 5g yet. Honestly, I was surprised how well this phone works for its price. It's smooth and reliable. No software/hardware issues so far. Battery always lasts me a day, often with 30-40% at the end of a day. Camera isn't bad like a lot of reviewers make it out to be. Works very well with bluetooth devices. Definitely worth more than what it's priced imo.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Glad you're having a good experience. The cameras are like the Pixel 5 to me, so probably the best fit photos and much improved for video.

[@zepmarq]

I've had this phone for about 3 months now, and I've had no problems with it. The only thing that kinda bugs me was the auto rotation as it seemed to be too sensitive. The pics are awesome and having the headphone jack was a buying point for me. The audio isn't bad at all (coming from a LG loyalist with their DAC) and I do love the 4a5G's medium size. I'm running Android 12 as of a few weeks ago and aside from the inability to change the clock format on the lock screen, I'm very pleased with this budget phone. Thanx for your straight forward review. 👍

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, and glad the 4a 5G is working out for you.

[@PragaKhan88]

Nice and realistic video mate ! Just got a 4a/5G for over a week now, man did I need to get used to it after being a Samsung owner for all my entire mobile phone life, wanted to change it again for a Samsung..but in the store I did found out, that a 120Hz Samsung is just as smooth imo as a 4A/5G, the other thing is the camera the colours are way more natural then the over/saturated Samsung sauce. Battery life is amazing, 8 to 9 maybe 10 hours SOT is normal, usage email/social media, chatting and taking pictures my only complained so far that I do find it a pity that, Google doesn't use the full screen of the device to take pictures it's more or less a 4.3 ratio that's imo a missed opportunity.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the switch!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Great deal!

[@Simplyyourdevice]

Grant well done. Love the new look. Looking sharp👍 Now for the phone. We all love the Pixel. Us phone nerds love this phone. A recommend to people who ask what phone to get. But as I sat here and watch your video, I'm sitting with the TV on and in the length of time your video is playing there were three commercials for the iPhone. I'm not trying to take away all the points you show here. It's getting harder to get an Android phone in people's hands. ( At least here in the U.S. ) Maybe we need to find more people like you to be ambassador to the brand.

[@andredegelder7383]

Thx good 1 month later review. I own the 4a5g for 2 weeks now, upgrade after my first pixel, the 3a. I love the Phone, had to choose between the 4a5g and the 5. The 5 is almost 800 euro's in Holland. Bought my 4a5g for 399 in Germany. Im happy. Great phone, battery (7-9 sot) , smoothness, head phone, screen. Much brighter display outside then the 3a. Finally 120 Gb storage. And ofcourse the photo's.... Super. Took some photo's with a friend with a new iphone 12... Pixel wins in 90 percent . Even my friend had to admit that. "399": he said, thats 600 more then my iphone. And ofcourse the video quality has improved so much. Not iphone quality , but very close. Thx again, greetz from a happy pixel 4a5g owner in Holland ✌️

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying your 4a 5G. These Pixels we definitely amazing for the price, especially the cameras.

[@smr32061]

Just ordered my 4a5G yesterday directly from Google. My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8+. Still running okay but battery life is only good for 5 or 6 hrs and that's with medium battery saving power mode activated. I just felt it was time for new a phone and honestly, I just didn't want to go premium and spend big bucks on another Samsung. My first Android phone was a Nexus Google phone 4 or 5 years ago and it was a good phone so returning to stock Android again for its simplicity and value. I was torn between 4a5G and Pixel 5, but after watching many Vloggers complain about the poor sound on the Pixel 5, that sealed the deal for me. Wireless charging and water resistance are nice to have but not essential. Even the fact that the body of the Pixel 5 is made of aluminum vs durable plastic on the 4a5G. I also like the fact that on the 4a5G, you can still use a headphone jack. Plus the screen is slightly larger which means you are getting more screen real estate and for less cost. Cameras are identical. Battery life is about as good in the 4a5G as it is in the Pixel 5. Brightness outdoors is my only concern now but what do you expect for a mid-range priced phone?

[@GrantLikesTech]

Glad you're enjoying your new phone. My sister also got a 4a to replace her Galaxy S8 and only misses the expandable storage. Photos of my niece are much nicer now. 😉

[@derd3]

Finally ordered the 4a/5g today to replace my iphone xs. Looking forward to returning to the thoughtful design choices of the Android development team.

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

Good phone. About the same as my pixel 2xl, in my opinion. Nothing really that blows me away. It's plastically, but that's probably a good thing since the glass phones are so easy to break. Unfortunately the pixel 5 isn't XL, yet, otherwise I would have purchased that.

[@GrantLikesTech]

This is pretty much the Pixel 5 XL, but give how much of the camera quality is retained in previous versions it is tough to justify upgrading and that's not a bad thing.

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

@@GrantLikesTech The 4a is a cheap version of the 4. It's got a long way to go before it's a 5. Completely different processor, different camera, many different things.

Great review @Grant S. Makes me question my choice to buy the pixel 5 over the 4a 5G

[@GrantLikesTech]

Nah, Pixel 5 is great. 4a or 4a a5G are smart choices, but I like the 5. That 90Hz surprisingly makes more of a difference than I thought.

[@thetute59]

Main points for the 5 were for me: size (cutout cardboard to compare the sizes, really helped me) and a little bit more battery (together with smaller display can add).

@@GrantLikesTech Yes you are right. Its terrible even with Whatsapp. I use Whatsapp video calls more often and this is a pain. I am about to return this item now

[@RandallWhitted]

This comment is a little late, but I hate my 4a5g. The default volume adjustment is media, not ringer, which makes no sense at all - even when no media is playing. If often doesn't wake when I touch the screen or pick it up. Swiping up to switch apps and close apps is touchy and awkward and usually skips over the app I want to select. The brightness auto-adjust sometimes goes completely off the rails. I have to restart the phone every few days because notifications stop coming through, or I call and can't hear anyone or one specific person's text notifications don't come through. But the #1 despised feature is Google support. There isn't any. There is someone who will argue with you over messages or email, but no support. Google doesn't do anything wrong, so if you suspect they made a mistake - think again. Oh, also the sound volume is really low and it doesn't like you turning it up as far as it can go - you have to do this in the settings every time you want it louder. Kinda hate my Pixel.

Did they fix the gesture issue they had on the pixel 4xl on this phone? Where if the phone is in landscape mode the icons right at the bottom right of the phone won't press unless you swipe up once first. This was mainly a issue when playing games you can fix this by using 3 button navigation but then you have increased chance of screen burn as you can't hide the bar when your not using it like you can on some phones.

Also the 4a5g is imho basicly the 5a, I find it funny that they went with 4a5g^^ To display, I tend to shy away from anything thats not oled, simply because dark mode and battery life.

Thanks for chiming in. That's what I see others say about their older Pixels. I haven't experienced that, but honestly I can't always be using the same device that long. I like going back to using them, but not continuously. I don't mind LCD displays if they're good. They can look very nice with cooler color temps and don't need to worry about dark mode all the time is refreshing.

@@Krstorm402 how can I change aspect ratio

[@GrantLikesTech]

Sadly it's the same on each device. Some apps just don't allow pinch to zoom for video.

I really like my pixel 4a 5g but for a month Google voice Assistant not responding after I say ok Google or hey google🤷

[@GrantLikesTech]

Did you check the google app settings to be sure the voice command is enabled or maybe tried training it for your voice?

[@fastm3980]

@@GrantLikesTech I've tried everything 😑 and when I try to retrain voice it says Trouble Connecting check your connection and try again🤦. Everything is switched on. Since my last update it has not been working.

[@GrantLikesTech]

That's odd. When in doubt, factory reset. 🤞

Understandable

[@interstellar5901]

please give me a pixel 4a phone I would be grateful to you all my life bro !!!

[@brownkk1326]

Has anybody mentioned the water and moisture flaw'? My 4a is rain dead. Slight moisture killed it. Not water resistant like iphone. That's why it is only $500

[@OrlandoCeleiro]

For most people that is not an important feature. I have had water resistance in my last 3 phones. You know what? Never use it. I don't use my phone under the shower. And believe me, that feature is not for free, so if you don't need it, better not paying for that, right?

[@brownkk1326]

Orlando, I feel negated by your response and wonder If you work for google. I wrote "slight moisture". Anyway, I am attempting to return it for warrentee work, but had to buy a new phone in the mean time.

[@OrlandoCeleiro]

@@brownkk1326 No, I don't work for Google. Not all people that write good reviews about Pixels work for Google. It's a comment based in my experience with a lot of brands. iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Sony and Pixels. None of them is perfect but I prefer the Pixel experience. And I believe the water resistance you get is proportional to rhe amount of money you pay. To me that's not important at all. Just buy the phone you want and be happy.

[@Raison_d-etre]

That's one boxy phone.

[@andrewz61]

Don't buy a Pixel! I bought a 4 XL and the thing is garbage! It reboots constantly and Google's support is AT&T bad. My only repair option is to mail it off for 10 days. Don't buy a Pixel.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Definitely didn't experience that with my 4XL. I've had every Pixel and really enjoyed them.

[@andrewz61]

@@GrantLikesTech It's a pretty common issue. They've actually extended the warranty another year on the 4XL for rebooting and freezing issues. My beef with Google isn't the phone not working it's the fact that my only support option is to mail my phone off for 10 days. I'm working remote I can't go without my phone for 2 weeks.

[@roguegaming6001]

@@andrewz61 Pixel 4 XL was anyway the bust of the year phone. It had awful battery and gimmicks. Other pixels are really good and this time I think the Pixel 5 is really good.

[@OrlandoCeleiro]

Never had a single issue with any Pixel. Buy a Pixel, best Android experience.
