Google Pixel 4a Review 2023 || Quietly Awesome!

[@Storm_409]

Superb smartphone. Cracking camera. Awesome size. I wont be upgrading for a long time. Phones are just too big.

[@ashdoestech]

I agree! Was nice to use a small, cheap phone that still has a great camera

[@Storm_409]

@@ashdoestech Absolutely Ash. A lot of my pals are using iPhones that have been released in the last few years, but are often asking me what I use for my photos. Crazy.

[@ashdoestech]

I frequently have to use my phone camera at work, and when I had this and the Pixel 4 XL, I found myself using those more than my 14 Plus, as I found them producing better looking photos. My colleagues agreed and were gobsmacked when I told them the photos were from 3+ year old phones.

[@Storm_409]

@TJXHT But is it really worth me upgrading to the pixel 5?

[@palanisamymadakkannu4350]

Me too..

[@5150crazyfun]

This was my first Pixel device back in late 2020. Loved the 5.8" size and how manageable it was. I wish they had kept this design for newer Pixels. In my opinion, the 4a was peak Pixel for the A series because you got insane value for $349.

[@ashdoestech]

It was great value for that price, and now that you pick these up for like £120 it’s still great! Camera is awesome!

[@gdub7360]

Same! I miss my 4a so much. It overheated and the battery crapped out though, so I just did a trade in with ATT to get a 9 Pro. I like it but I'll never love it as much as my 4a!

[@AB-py6jl]

The phone I still have today. Liked it so much I bought another one this year when my first one broke.

[@MrLiamVernon]

Had a mate 20 pro and smashed the screen so picked up one of these for 80 quid it's ideal for me who just uses it for basic things battery is abit week but I love the size and enjoy my first pixel experience

[@ashdoestech]

Nice! I’ve actually just picked up a Mate 20 Pro to see what it’s like now! Love the Pixel 4a, I agree on the battery but camera is awesome!

[@MrLiamVernon]

@@ashdoestech look forward too seeing that video got the pixel for size camera and stock android experience

[@wild4fp]

Had a 4a, it was good, quietly good. It did and does have a rep for software unstable. Had mine for approx 18 months from new. It crashed. Cotton l could not get it working again and not worth price to fix. Good size, didnt miss the samsung 3 buttons, quite like pulling up. Quite nichy phone.

[@frank0.917]

Watching on the 4a, awesome phone for light users. If the upcoming 8a would have the same form factor I would consider an upgrade.

[@chancesareshewears]

the 4XL is by far the best Pixel, I just sold my 7 cos it doesn't compare..face unlock is CRUCIAL! Better speakers, same 90hz and display...and I picked one up in MINT condition for $150! Get the 4xl

[@ashdoestech]

I love the 4 XL, still have it….. for now

[@imansetiadhi8750]

how about pixel 5 than 4xl?

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I just can't find anything to replace it. I have some bigger phones and I use them but I always have my work sIM card in my small pixel 4a. Other phones are too big to conveniently leave the house with and put them in pockets.

[@LiPuma77]

Just purchased one online, arrives in a week or so. For sure wanted a phone this size, previously had the S9 wich had a similar size, currently using Xiaomi 11 Light 5G but not happy with the cam. Fingers crossed, heard nothing but good things abouth this phone ;) ps : light user

[@ashdoestech]

Nice! You should get on just fine 😁

[@franzc1656]

Bought mine new and it's just had its 3rd birthday and still going reasonable well. Love the size and it does most everything I want. Battery life beginning to fade however and probably time to replace. Wish I could get something of similar size and spec. without breaking the bank.

[@ashdoestech]

One of my favourite phones I’ve ever used

[@DicasdaNet]

Recently I bought this phone and It still great! I'ts simple, compact and amazing phone in 2024.

[@portman8909]

Security patches are ending this year. I'd think twice before using Google Pay with this thing soon.

[@filipinostrokesurvivor-cri6009]

Hello sir Ash! Greetings from the Philippines! Can you please kindly advise the battery performance of the Pixel 4a with the nee upgrade of Android 13. I watched an Indian reviwer saying it has gone down from 7 hours to 2 hours? The apps are well optimized but the battery failed? Thanks - Cris

[@ashdoestech]

I didn’t have battery issues, so not sure what happened there!

[@filipinostrokesurvivor-cri6009]

@@ashdoestech thank you sir Ash...

[@cameronparkfilms]

Top tier phone especially for it's price. Better than most ones iv owned and iv dropped it a good few times and no cracks or anything!

[@Yap90-h6k]

Nice 👍🏾

[@roxyschannel9900]

i found a pixel 4 xl just the black one sadly and i was wondering if these apply to it too and it dose have a changed battery , is it worth getting in 2024?

[@jkshenoi]

Is it good to use it even if we don't get anymore Android updates or security updates in terms of vulnerability and safety?.

[@ashdoestech]

It'll be fine to use. I used the Huawei P30 series on Android 10 with older security updates and didn't come across any issues.

[@god-dj5ty]

@@ashdoestech do you think the p30 pro or pixel 5 still worth buying and using in 2023 and maybe more like 1 or 2 years like the p30 pro maybe? Thanks

[@ashdoestech]

The P30 Pro is still a great phone, even in 2023. But another 1-2 years, not sure how it will age. The Pixel will have newer software updates, which is a good reason to swing towards that.

[@god-dj5ty]

@@ashdoestech thank u so much!! I really love Huawei i sold my p40 pro bcs i needed some money but now I want to go back again to Huawei but with (GMS) this time that's why i was asking for the p30 pro but i guess i want the pixel 5 now due its great camera and its software, i want to ask u? any issues with this pixel 5 phone? I'm a heavy user

[@ashdoestech]

I’ve not had any issues with the 4a, so I would imagine the Pixel 5 would be as good if not better

[@davidhussey2819]

Great review. Loved it. ❤

[@ashdoestech]

Thank you for watching 😊👍

Hi! How about multitasking?

Will the 4a 5g be supported in india??

[@yagi_661]

i still use mine, going strong 3 years now, kinda hard to move on,

[@JoeC5050]

Wish google kept this form factor for all A series.. 145mm X 70mm is perfect for one handed use. Why does all phones have to be 6.5"+ size always?

[@ashdoestech]

This was actually one of my favourite phones to use and review. Loved the size and the single camera was amazing! Great little phone for little money!

[@YogaBudiW]

I use 3a and I am very interested in 4a but some people say that the user experience of 4a is not much different from 3a. Is that true?

[@ashdoestech]

You'll get better performance and battery life, and a more modern looking screen. Camera will be very similar

[@atehje]

Just bought 4a 5g second hand as my backup device. Just $120. Still good phone for 2024.

[@ashdoestech]

The only one except the 3’s and older I haven’t reviewed. But I imagine it’s still great!

[@atehje]

Of course! @@ashdoestech

[@edoardoquarta1699]

What about software support? It will stand until august 2023 so, is it worth it to buy right now?

[@ashdoestech]

It'll still work, but the lack of security updates on Androids of course just means that users are more exposed to potential security breaches. The longer the phone has gone without the updates, the higher the risk. So yes, it will still work fine, but that's the issues you have after August

[@edoardoquarta1699]

@@ashdoestech thank you for the feedback!

[@batatacity]

I bought one second hand for 75 bucks simple and clean I want to try some custom ROMs on it !

I purchased a first hand pixel 3 from Amazon, came just yesterday and the battery is fine. I got 13 hours from 100 - 20% with 4.5 hours of screen time. The reason I preferred pixel 3 in 2023 is cuz of it's compact design that I love

[@ashdoestech]

Is Pixel 4a not more compact?

[@ramilponce7317]

Can i have your pixel if you don't want to use it anymore?

How is the battery life? I specifically love the size of this phone Going to buy this phone as a secondary device. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@ashdoestech]

Watch the video to find out 😂😉

[@jeffreylmAu]

ive been an owner for 2 yrs. As 730G is a very efficient chipset, battery life heavily depends on usage of the phone. my phone would still last a day(with spare) as I don't play games on phone and only use phone for texting, social media and occasional photo shooting on a normal day. However on days with heavy use (e.g. on a trip and u need to take photos on everything u see and eat) then be expected to bring a portable power bank out to recharge in the afternoon. If you would play games the battery often only last for 3-4 hours.
