My 2xl had that feature. Thanks.

[@mootsym]

What are the circumstances surrounding it overheating? After 30 minutes of picture-taking? 30 minutes of video? how hot was it outside? exposed to direct sunlight most of the time for however long the time was prior to overheating? That is a little concerning. I'd like to know more details surrounding the feature-sapping overheating issue so I can best judge how big of a deal it would be for me personally.

[@georgebirchenough3867]

Is it just me, or does the panorama mode simply not work on the 4a. The resolution is so much lower. I expect the same resolution from each stitched image, as I get from a normal capture. My normal capture files are 12mp and even a very wide pano seems to result in only a 6mp image! I always hold camera vertical for a pano to maximise vertical fov. But, each of my pano images has a max height of like 1600 pixels ! Should be well over double that... Please can you review this, or maybe suggest a setting I've missed?

It has already begun, we have already sold our freedom and in return the world becomes slightly less dangerous.

How much time of continuous usage of camera forces the app to dial back on those features? I request you to replicate situation once and see if the general performance and multitasking is still manageable during this time. Also, pls try photo sphere/panaroma and comment on its usability as an alternative for wide angle camera in your full review.

[@kkeshavakamath2556]

do we have manual focus in pixel 4a?! i m macro photographer. wanna buy it, so i need your opinion

[@andyH_England]

I think it is to do with the lack of versatility, having a slightly better camera than other phones just does not cut the mustard if the other phones have multiple lenses giving the user choice and flexibility. Main cameras are now good enough for most consumers and added value in 2020 has come from periscope zoom and ultra-wide, adding so much to what we can now do on our phones. I could not imagine buying a single-lens rear camera in 2020 and having to live with it for 3-5 years just to save $150 or less! DxO Mark had the Pixel 4 camera at 93 so the 4a will be less. The best camera now is the Mi 10 Ultra at 142 for the camera, putting it far ahead of the 4a. It will be about £200 more than the Pixel 4a on release though we will not get the 4a till Oct so the Mi 10 Ultra will probably be less by then. Of course, the Mi 10 Ultra has 5g, 120Hz, 4500 mAh battery (Li-on with graphene, rather than LiPo on 4a), SD865, UFS 3.1, quad-camera, 120-watt charging, OLED, etc. Paying that extra £200 will over 5-years be an outstanding value as it beats the Pixel 4a in nearly every respect with most of the latest tech and as we can get these on a contract, the monthly differential over two years will be less than £10 a month; money well spent. There are many other options and it is really hard for me to look at the Pixel 4a and see anything other than marketing trumping value, the hype over features! If you are a Pixel superfan then do what you have to, but for the rest of us outside the US, there is so much more.

[@michaelclld]

Even the 3a camera is amazing, I took it and my Canon 6d Mkii to Zion and pretty much stuck with my Pixel due to quality and ease

[@jvtechtea]

Most of the time I bring a good mirrorless or point and shoot camera with me for video and then use the Pixel for stills. Great combo!

[@michaelclld]

@@jvtechtea I should also say I don't think it is better but it is convenient and no editing, the phone does a good job out of the camera! Now landscape stuff might change if I had a nice wide angle for my Canon but overall the Pixel is great for me. I don't do video so I'm sure the Canon would really shine there

Hey Josh, very good review. Wow, Google's computational photography is 🔥. Definitely a flagship 📷 in a phone that costs a measly 349.00 bucks USD. Compact & lightweight, luv the polycarbonate build quality as opposed to the glass sandwich. OLED, the jack stereo speakers. Yep, with 6gigs of ram & 128gb's of storage make this 4a a no-brainer especially at this price!

[@racoonzattack]

LOL! I have the bamboo skin on an iPhone 6s Plus. Currently waiting for my Pixel 4a to ship. I ordered it alongside the grip case but this time went with the gray carbon fiber skin which looks pretty minimalist and stealthy with the black of the case and phone. But the bamboo looks nice on it too.

[@xGeoThumbs]

Interesting that the phone will dial back some camera features when the temperature gets too high. The Pixel 4 had the Snapdragon 855 and the Neural Core to help with live HDR, highlight and shadow sliders and speed up to overall processing. The 4a needs to offload all that to just the 730g. TBH, I am glad that they decided to keep all those features even if it means some temperature management.

[@thrissurdiary9583]

[@mackmccord3743]

Eye love my 4a. But really considering returning it because the front camera is horrible on duo compared to the 3a. Tested it last night in a dim lit room. It's so grainy. It's horrible. And they removed the timer from the the front camera. Joined the beta to see if it would be there and nope. This is a feature that Eye used very often.. Eye would wait to see they are gonna update because Eye love this phone and size (it could be a tad bit smaller). But my return window is approaching.. Would go back to 3a and wait for the 5 but Eye don't want to walk around with harmful 5g in my pocket and Eye'm not sure if you can turn that off.. (sigh) not sure what to do.. Great camera review btw!
