Google Pixel 4a Review - A Minimalist's Dream Phone

[@anastasisjaded]

I loved the vibe of this video the low-fi background music made it even more aesthetically pleasing.

[@ogdanem]

In my opinion, this is a flagship phone, it has everything I need. In the past and today, I have own many flagships phones and along all those years I have used the same apps and did same things over and over with the phone, the only exceptions were the quality of the photos. So if this phone does everything the way you have described, in fair speed, and high-quality camera - it is a flagship phone for me :-)

[@simonrhys]

This is such a bang on comment! I have the note 9. Used the pen a handful of times. It's just not needed. This area of the market is what the flagship was. Im definitely getting this for my next phone

That photo montage starting from 2:50 is incredible. I've never seen any reviewer do that, and especially not with this amount of variety. Didn't even know I needed this before, but now I'm gonna compare every reviewer to this standard. 🔥🔥

[@centerpide]

This is one of the best and more honest reviews I have seen here. Thank you for not dissing the Pixel 4a by coming out with ludicrous statements like it doesn't have wireless charging or the build feels cheap or some other stupid lame excuse. The phone is designed to be simple and minimalistic for the price range and I think compared to all the other reviewers out there, yours is one of the best I have seen. Great work!

[@canoopsy]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Appreciate ya :)

[@akulvohra5344]

Canoopsy’s so underrated. His videos are so high quality.

[@allthingsbeautifulwithniti584]

I would totally buy this primarily because of the 5.8" screen size which is a lot better than the 6.5" screen size we are being forced to consider. I always like phones to be a bit compact in size.

[@TamaraGirodie]

First of all, excellent video my dude! The B roll is amazing, and the music a perfect match! 👌🏼 When you say the pixel 4a isn’t special, I’d actually disagree. In a world where phones are always more more more, I’d say this phone is special because it delivers just the basics, and very well! I have already preordered mine and am waiting impatiently!

[@canoopsy]

Thanks for watching!! When I say “isn’t special” I don’t mean that the phone isn’t important - it’s moreso that it doesn’t have some huge gimmick or feature that draws headlines. As you said, definitely what makes it special is the fact it focuses on the essentials.

[@jdiggy807]

Im a pixel fan, and now a fan of your channel. Chill vibe and clean delivery of your content. Just subscribed! Keep up the good work.

[@heastin92532]

you touch on an statement that I have caught myself stating about you tubers, and that’s, you guys always have access to the latest and the greatest and so you compare to everything to latest and the greatest and sometimes that one device gets lost in the shuffle. Luckily, the 4a may not be a high performer but where it excels are the areas that matter and that’s being a solid experience. Great video

[@Beingnonsense]

I had seen all pixel 4a review from every KZbin channel. I can say this is one is the Best one. And you have explained everything in detail.

[@jennyl.2689]

I love mine. Just got it as a gift yesterday. Great video. Thank you!

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Nicely presented review. Really looking forward to this phone, the Biggest selling point to me is that it is pretty compact. Probably the best option out there for an android phone you can use one handed. Great camera, decent performance and battery life, pure android, headphone socket, decent price. Yes the first time I have seen a phone that does everything right for a few years

[@cm6275]

The way you make these videos is so convincing. Often when you watch budget phone videos it looks like the video itself is budget, and the phone appears cheaper and less appealing to the viewer as a result. Since you presented this phone in the same way you do $1,000 phones, it looks much better and shows it’s true potential. Also the photos you included were amazing!

[@Phoneixrising99]

Great video. I do feel it's interesting that you say that the phone ISN'T special, unique, or standout bc of how simple it is but I feel the fact that it is simple and streamlined and focused on the experience IS what makes it special. Regardless, a great demo and I can't wait to get mine! Should be coming this week!!!

[@grantmcalpine6364]

I'm loving my 4a. I had an Essential PH-1 which was a great phone other than the camera. So I wanted a good camera but did not want to spend a lot of money. Especially with phones only lasting 2 to 3 years. I figure spending $500 every few years on a phone makes way more sense. Great review and I totally agree with the whole video.

[@oceanic16]

proudly made in Toronto. Good one. Too bad guys from unbox therapy, android authority and few others can't make the same disclosure. This review matches the phone, minimalist and to the point. No BS.

[@daveburks726]

About two months ago I ordered a Samsung A71. Liked the specs and the price. Loved the phone when I got it. But the intrusive Samsung UI software that can't be turned off is a major annoyance and it cannot be uninstalled or turned off. When you turn all that stuff off in settings/apps, after about an hour, internal software turns all of it back on. You have to set up a Samsung account for some of the apps that might be useful, so now you have a google account and a Samsung account. The mothering and shepherding that Samsung does via software is a major intrusion for me so I have went back to my old Moto G7 and have ordered the Pixel 4a. I am really looking forward to a Pure Android experience again! Good review and thanks for no jarring music or major visual effects!

I don't really watch tech videos for the product review nowadays. Its really the whole EXPERIENCE as you said but in this case its the experience of the video. Like mkbhd's videos with his smooth and minimalist video experience. Your videos have the same zen effect and the chill music in the background that was such a nice touch maybe a product comes along where you can use Vivaldi's four seasons some day, i understand the music choice depends on a lot on the product that you are reviewing. And the last 'thank you for watching' felt like something that could be a great catch phrase. Loved it. I am going to sub

[@greenhaven-podcast]

Excellent review. 🤘 Thanks! I've been looking at the Pixel 4a for my next phone for a month now. One word that many people use to describe me IS "minimalist" so that was a perfect title for the video. 😊 I currently have a Moto G7 Power and while the battery on it is phenomenal the physical size, screen, and camera are the the things I want in the Pixel 4a that the Moto G7 Power doesn't have; in other words its camera is mediocre at best, the screen is a non-HD LCD and it is a behemoth! So reviews like this have just helped bring home the fact I'm about to make the right choice!

Bluetooth vs wired isn't about price necessarily. It's about sound quality and interoperability.

Even though my Z5 still works as reliably as on day one today still, it hasnt got any updates since 2016. Time to upgrade, and the Pixel 4a will be it. Hopefully it will work as reliable for the next 5 years as the Sony did.

[@pup1008]

Been using mine for about a month now. Covid had caused budget restrictions which has been hard as for the last 10 or so years I've been using the Samsung Note which I LOVED. Coming from a Note to the Pixel has been hard, mostly because age is catching up with me & my eyesight & I miss those big expansive & expensive screens but..... it is a great little phone & for the money, I think a design classic. Gripes - There was &, from what I can make out is, no operating manual but as the phone is fairly intuitive is not a massive problem. Not having an inbuilt music player is also an issue as I'm old school & still load music manually on my phone. The actual operation of the phone is pretty good but as you are learning them from actually using the phone, it's frustrating when actions that seemed to get you to where you wanted to be before don't do the same thing. As I've all but given up now cheap Bluetooth earbuds that last about as long as a single Pink Floyd album the "wired" headphone jack was a much appreciated addition. It's a great little phone & well worth the UK price tag of £320. My love of Notes is such that I was going to opt for a second hand £250 Note 7 or 8 but you are then signing up for soon to be obsolete software.
