    Picked this up for my girlfriend after her phone was stolen. It does what's needed. Unfortunately, unlike the Galaxy S20 she had, you have to download apps for video, etc, that are actually native to Galaxy. I nice phone for the price to do minor things with.

    I really enjoy this phone. There are some features you may miss if you're used to flagship phones from the major brands, but what it has is fantastic and a major quality upgrade from other budget phones I've tried in the past.

    Pros: Best budget phone out there with the best camera! No bezels so bigger screen, smaller overall size. Cons: Just need to get used to the new way to go back instead of a dedicated button/touch at the bottom left as it used to in prev versions.

    My husband needed to replace his phone. We selected this phone because of the positive reviews and price. Phones now are ridiculously expensive for what they do. This phone does just as much as the expensive phones without having to do a payment plan.

    I love this phone, I bought this to replace a samsung galaxy s7 edge and other than the wireless charging there isn't anything I miss about my older phone. The pixel 4a has everything you would need in a phone and comes at excellent price.

    I love this phone because it's quick and does not have any bloatware. The camera is just so so for a modern day phone but it goes with the better price from the Pixel 4 or Pixel 5. This is a solid phone and imagine it will last years like my Pixel 2 did.

    This is a very good phone for the price. I am very happy with it. Wish it was water proof and had wireless charging. Other than that it's fast and I like it that it has monthly updates not when the manufacturer feels like it.

    I needed a new phone after my old one died suddenly. After reading reviews I decided to pick up the 4a because I didn't want to finance another phone. So far I have no complaints. It's about 1/3 the price of my old phone and just as good.

    Nearly perfect. I love the size. It is great having the latest Android 11. It is very snappy. Wished it had expandable storage, but 128GB should be sufficient. Battery life is good for a full day, but it would be nice to have more juice for heavy use days.

    Replaced Pixel 3 with exploded battery. Almost identical, with a few new features, less wireless charging!! Really, Google?? Service at Best Buy was outstanding and would shop here instead of Verizon store next time!

    Picked up for my son, compared to my Pixel 5, it feels a little cheaper. He uses a large case though, and once in the case, you'd be hard pressed to tell it's different from my 5. Everything works, no slowness, very sturdy build.

    The Google Pixel 4a is a great buy for the money. Good picture quality, plenty of storage and great performance. I feel it is a little on the small side and I wish that it was waterproof. Overall this is an awesome phone for the money.

    The phone works well. The OS has taken some getting used to. It is very smooth but it relies heavily on gestures, where I'm used to buttons. I love that it isn't outrageously expensive. My only disappointment is the lack of waterproof cases available for it.

    Excellent smartphone at a reasonable price. I was primarily looking for a phone with eSIM support so that I can purchase data eSIM for travel, and it works just fine ! Impressed with all the feature of this phone so far.

    I bought this phone because my old phone was starting to age. I started looking around for new phones and the pixel 4a came up. This phone has a snapdragon 730g which is able to play most emulators, so far i have tested psp and 3ds. Psp emulation works like a dream and I can increase resolution by 2x. 3ds emulation is still new so there are a few hiccups but for the most part the pixel4a can handle it at a decent pace. The major pro for this phone was it having a headphone jack! The only con I have about this phone is no sd card slot, so far I've used about 38gb out of 128gb. All in all this phone is really good and I'm glad I made the purchase.

    So far it seems to be a good phone. Still getting used to it and the subtle differences from my previous phone. I'm not a big tech geek and these things don't come natural to me. for the price it seems a reasonable device. Time will tell.

    The Pixel 4a was my best option at this price range. Google put the emphasis on the things that people prioritize on a budget smartphone. The camera quality is great, the phone has 128GB of memory, and you can expect regular android updates.

    Best phone under $400 I have been using it for a month and I am loving it. Pros: +Stock Android (Clean UI) +Android Updates for 3 Years +Premium Camera +Good size for small hands +Good display +Headphone Jack +Price +Good Battery life (not great not terrible) Cons: -Battery Capacity could be bigger -Weak vibrator motor -No Wireless Charging (I personally don't care about WC but in case you are looking for it, this is not your phone) -No IP Water resistant certificate (I personally don't care about IP cert but in case you are looking for it, this is not your phone) Just stop overthinking, buy it, you won't regret it. WARNING: My charger brick stopped working 2 weeks after purchase, I probably received a defective one however try to look for reviews with the same issue.

    So far so good. I've had the phone for 3ish months now and am still loving it. I like that it doesn't have a ton of extra stuff loaded on it since it uses all of the Google apps. Good battery life. It was easy to set up with Verizon.
