    So pleased I bought a reasonable priced phone, that maintains a charge for all day plus. Learning to navigate so far is relatively easy, and I was able to transfer most everything from my old phone easily. great transition and savings over higher priced phones.

    Great phone for the price. If you you aren't a gamer or an IT developer this phone should satisfy your smartphone needs. The camera is adequate as well. This phone is not 5G and I don't expect 5G in my area for another few years. So, pay for what you need in a smartphone.

    I changed to the Pixel from a Galaxy S9+. The Pixel fits my hand better, seems faster, the camera is better, and it has quite a few Google tricks to make this thing great. It would be perfect if it had wireless charging, but for $300 total price, I will live without that feature.

    I really enjoy this phone its a good value. I also enjoy the google version of android it come with. The frequent security updates and feature drops directly from google is awesome and better then carrier branded phones. Also much more frequent and easier than most other unlocked phones as well. Google promises about 3 years of updates for this phone with is great and if your willing to tinker with your phones pixel phones usually have great community support after. Well worth the price in my opinion. When purchasing this phone it is also good to keep in mind your are making a compromise in that its mid level specs for a mid level price. There are great deals to be had in both direction of this phone but this phone has a great compromise of price, support(updates) and spec that most other phones don't have. I would definitely recommend if your the type to keep your phones for a long time and if you buy your phones outright.

    I have been using the Pixel 4a for about a week now. Light and relatively compact, lots of storage, speedy when using the latest apps, and the price can't be beat. Coming from a non-Google phone, it took me a couple of tries to get used to the interface, but now all is well.

    So far so good. I wanted a inexpensive phone bit was still hoping to get a good camera. The camera is excellent, having night mode is fantastic. I like having a phone that's a smaller size. The operating system is quick and the 128gb standard is great. Definitely recommend

    I've owned it for around 2 weeks now. I purchased it mainly for the camera and eSIM capability. Also, my old phone was 4 years old and needed to be replaced. I only gave it 4 stars because Google does not provide a User Guide. Yes, there is online help, but I prefer something I can page through and checkout all the capabilities without trying to figure it out all by myself or watching various u-tube videos. Regarding eSIM. I'm trying to get the cheapest phone service I can. The big 3 US carriers don't appear to be interested in offering their prepaid services on eSIM. This is confounding as they do appear to offer them for iPhones. However, I did find data-only eSIMs for a pretty good price, although they all route their networks through international networks, which leads to some funky search results. Overall, I'm very happy with the phone. Also, I purchased after the release of the 5g version and after Black Friday, neither of which caused a price drop for the 4a.

    Great phone with a great price it's speedy for the minimum specs it had and the screen looks decent the best thing about this phone is having the latest version of Android at a low price and runs stock Android which looks very clean the Google softwarw features are also a plus.

    This is such a great phone to buy for the price. You don't get any extra frills; just a phone that works great, and takes exceptional photos! This 4a is used over the sister-in-law-s iphone 12 Pro for pics of the little munchkins You can't beat it for the price

    Amazing phone, amazing value. Has the camera of a phone twice it's price, with performance and storage space of a phone more expensive. You really can't beat the value this phone provides. It's the first time in my life of buying value phones that felt high end to me.

    The Google Pixel 4a is as advertised. Clear, vibrant display, plenty of memory, camera w/ software makes great pictures. I get 2 days out of the battery with mostly internet surfing, fitness app and a chatting app running most of the time.

    After having a Pixel2xl, I was hesitant to get the Pixel 4a, due to its size difference. After trying out the 4a, I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner. It especially fits my hand and has the same great camera, which is why I got my first Pixel.

    First off, the battery life is AWESOME! It's so nice to be able to actually use my phone and not even have to charge it for two days! The camera takes gorgeous shots. Easy to use, and is definitely the best phone I've ever had to date. I highly recommend!

    I've only had this for about a month but I'm totally impressed!! There's been one minor instance where my speaker sounded like static but it hasn't happened again. Also one morning it was not letting my calls or texts come in. After I made a call out and restarted it, this was corrected. I'm hoping this will not become an issue. In that same episode, my car could not recognize any contacts on my phone. Unpaired the two and paired again after the initial reboot of the phone and all was ok. Other than these events, I couldn't be more happy. Battery life is beyond excellent! Picture quality is beyond excellent! One thing I've yet to figure out is why I can't use the volume control button on the side to adjust volume when I'm listening to music or videos. I have to pause, go to the settings, adjust, go back to what I'm listening to and see if the sound is now appropriate. Very odd. I'd love to give this 5 stars but time will tell.

    My first time experience with stock Android and it is awesome. Phone is great value for money and has decent camera. It is small and handy and great as daily driver. No bloatwares like those from Samsung makes it simple to use and iOS like.

    Can't say enough great things about this phone. It does literally everything my previous smartphones did but at about half the cost. Its fast, reliable, and has a good camera. This is the best mid-level phone on the market. Period.

    Finally a phone by google that I can actually afford. I've owned several google/nexus phone before starting with the G1 then nexus 1 up to the nexus 5 where it died during FW upgrade. Since then I've had change of priorities and I could no longer justify the cost of pixel line or any phone over $ 500 price range for my use case. So I bought mid pack phone which I was happy using but still wanting a google branded phone so when this came out with very affordable price i got it. So far it's perfect for my needs, display is much better than I expected, and of course the google android experience is the reason I bought this phone. The camera is solid all around, the best point and shoot which is important to me. So far no issue with build quality. Overall a very nice phone and highly recommend it for people wanting a simple smooth android experience with a great camera.

    Had the phones for her 2 months without issue. The camera is amazing for the price, we've had other budget phones (Motorola's, lg, etc) and were about to get the new Motorola stylo but luckily we went with the pixel. Battery life is decent, UI is great.

    Overall I have been using this phone for a week now.First day it seems that the battery is ok it last the whole day but I was used to my old phone battery which last like about one and a half day but the next day I uninstalled some apps which were in the phone but I don't use them that makes a difference in the battery usage. On the other hand camera is good. The brightness is not the best if I have it on 50 percent it's not that bright so I mostly have it on 65 that's sounds good for me. Overall I like the size it is really slippery because of its lightweight for that I consider using leather cover for it that will have a grip. I made a short video with it's camera that was amazing.video quality is excellent even though it was night. It will be good if you use it with 4g data service with 3g or 2g you will be having blurry videos.
