    For the past years, only the flagship phone can offer really good camera. But with the release of pixel 4a , for $349 one can have flagship camera performance (photo) without spending crazy $1000.

    You get a lot of phone for a reasonable price. The camera on pixels take incredible pictures, especially in low light. I highly recommend any of the pixel phones, and I'm very happy with this one.

    I just love it. It is fast, smooth, and I like its size. The camera is great...maybe too much because now my big camera is kind of useless except for its zoom. I would totally recommend it

    It took a some what time to used to without home and back button but I am getting used to it. Battery life is good (It is about 35 to 40% after three days with minimal use). Speed is pretty good.

    I switched from Samsung to Google and so far pretty much satified. Processor is very fast and it automatically updated to Android 11. Camera is only 12MP but it does take good pictures. There are few draw-backs compared to my old Samsung: 1. The alarm function keeps ringing until you snooze it or turn it off. It does not shuts off on its own which is bad if you are not by the phone, or left it in the car, etc. My old phone would auto shut snooze the alarm after a while, and then turn off after 3 auto snoozes. The alert on the phone for messages and news updates is the same. Would like to be able to distinguish between the two so that I know if a message is on my phone. But overall, so far I like it.

    Great Upgrade from the Google Pixel 2 XL

    I've had this phone for about 2 and a half weeks and it honestly feels amazing. The camera quality is superb, the load speeds are faster than my pixel 2 XL and although it is smaller, the screen goes all the way to the edge of the phone, even passing through the front camera. One thing that is a bit difficult to get use to is the gestures, the swiping left and right to go back is somewhat odd to me but I'm still getting use to it. Also one thing I did find weird is that when I have my headphones plugged in and I call someone, they say I sound quiet or that they can't hear me but when I take them out they can hear me just fine. Not sure if it's a bug or not but I turned on WiFi calling and hopefully that'll make it better.

    I'm very happy with the phone so far. Battery life is excellent, pictures are amazing. The screen can be hard to see in the sun even with full brightness on but all cell phones have that problem a bit. One annoying thing is how the gestures don't have a forward function. If you swipe from either left or right it just goes back to the previous screen. There's a bit of a learning curve for settings to get the phone just right even if you own any other Android phone. But that just shows how much crap other manufacturers add to plain Android when they get their hands on it. Nothing in life is perfect, hence the 4 stars. Wireless charging would have been nice to have but at this price point, it's not a big deal.

    Great camera, frequently updated. I suggest a screen protector as gorilla glass 3 scratches. one of the very few small phones on the market these days making it all the more important.

    This phone rocks. I had the pixel 3 before, it broke due to me not having a case.. my dog thought it was a snack.. anyway. I had to temporarily switch to an iphone.. oh boy.. no apple for me sorry. I have big hands and this pixel 4a fits perfectly. It's not too big, not small, just right. Camera is superb. Sound is very clear. I love the google pre-screen feature so you won't get bombarded with spam calls. Apple could learn from that. Battery life is wonderful, not used to that, it holds a charge for more than a day with light use. For the price/quality you get imo a flagship phone. I bought a case right away because this phone is a gem.

    Phone Review: This phone is my first Google Pixel phone and I admit that I like the smooth OS experience that the Pixel phone has for Android. Even with it being a low-range phone regarding specifications and price, you won't be disappointed with what it has to offer. If you need a new phone and don't want to spend 400 plus for a phone, then this is the phone for you. Best Buy Review: Best Buy ships their packages with care, and they always come on time and at times earlier than customarily projected. Even though I bought this phone open-box, the phone still looked brand new with a minor scratch on the screen if you were looking hard enough. Excellent overall.

    Good camera and not too expensive. Bought it as upgrade to my LG VS501 (which was free with contract, but had a decent camera). Generally been pleased with the camera, which is what I bought it for.
