3 Reasons Why You Should BUY Pixel 4a In 2022!

41 Comments

1. I have both a Pixel 4a 5g, and a Pixel 5, and IMO, those are better overall Pixel devices than the 4a, cost notwithstanding. 5.8" is just a tad too small for media consumption, or even for the on-screen keyboard if you have bigger fingers. The Pixel 5 is almost the perfect size and weight, especially for travelling, but the 6.2" screen on the 4a 5g is nice for watching videos and movies too. I'm only comparing up to the Pixel 5, because unlimited photo storage stopped after the 5.

2. I got my Pixel 4a last August 10, 2021. Nearly 2 years later, I still have it as my daily driver (w/ my laptop for school). This device never let me down since then.

3. Watching this on my pixel 3❤

4. Today I got my pixel4a 128gb 160 eur battery 90% in Amsterdam i came from iphone 13pro max

5. Good

6. Can I use Open Camera App on this phone using Camera2 API,? I need a budget camera that I can control ISO, Shutter Speed and White Balance. Focus.

7. It’s a great camera budget phone and a good smartphone, still regret selling it to a family member

8. I got my pixel 4a when it launched in 2020 and I still love it! While I wish it had more customization (themes, fonts, more phone cases!) like Samsung, as a phone it's a massive upgrade from my previous (Nexus 5, funny enough also a "google" phone) and it is still extremely fast, faster than my laptop haha ! The pixel android is streamlined and very smooth to use compared to some other companies' androids imo. My old phone also crashed all the time and this one barely ever does

9. Iv had a pixel 4a for a year plus. I formally had a low/mid price Samsung.The Samsung was good and had a lot of life left, but i really wanted a pixel.
   Its a good phone and i'm going to try to keep it as long as i can and not discard it for a flight of fantacy.
   My only gripe with this phone is making a text. Scrolling to be precise.
   To scroll up or down to check what iv written before i send is a nightmare. The text box flies up rapidly or down rapidly and i cant seem to sort it.
   Thankyou for the vid.

10. I have this phone google pixel 4 a 4G …coool phone!!!!

11. "Upgraded" to a 6a and regretted it, despite the $300 trade-in for my 4a, which made the price only $150. The touted "huge improvements" turned out to be almost unnoticeable. The only noticeable improvement is the camera, but there's not really a big difference in good light. However, the abyssmal fingerprint sensor, loss of the mini headphone jack, and clumsy increase in size are big downgrades in the everyday user experience. Miss my 4a!

12. I have had my 4a since early 21 and I bought it as an experiment. I wanted to buy a "budget" phone to see how long I could use it for before having to upgrade. I use the 4a primarily as my personal phone/media device as I'm pretty much invested in the Apple eco system from a work and productivity point of view. So I also run a iPhone 13 mini as my business driver. Long story short, the 4a has not slowed down at all and it is by far my favourite piece of tech. Android 12 certainly has something to do with that too. I have bought 4a's for my entire family and everyone is as happy as can be. My conclusion is that we spend too much on tech that we never use the full potential of. The only thing I would like is an IP rating for piece of mind.

13. Bought it last year. Best phone I've owned. I got fed up of using my iPhone 6s plus found it way too large and was a pain to pull out my pocket.

    I don't use phones as a daily driver, that's what my desktop and iPad is for. For phones I need something small and fast. Pixel 4a delivers on both.

14. I have pixel 4a for and a second phone..and i use it more often than my iphone 13pro.. haha

15. I find the flares when shooting at night a total letdown, I didn't get them on my previous pixel 2, have they come up with a firmware fix for it yet? Thanks

16. Serious question, no shade: I like this phone, but why would you buy a two-year-old phone that would only have one more year of OS updates?

17. But currently google pixel 4a not available 🥺

18. been having the 4a for some time now, and i love its size&performance. It fits to your pocket, which most of new models don't… it's well built (till today it has survived quite some drops), a textile-covered bumper makes it look nice – don't mind the plastic housing,… and missing out the extra software features – the higher models have – is no big deal for me either,…
    i think, we sure can enjoy at least one year of free upgrades, … but i suspect&expect, that with the upgrade to A13, the performance will start to degrade/decrease.

19. would like to know from where I could get that wallpaper 🤔

20. I traded in my Moto G for the Pixel 4A in 2020. Two main reasons: 1) a sensible size – I want a phone in my back pocket, not a small TV, 2) 128 GB storage, sufficient to store Ordnance Survey Maps for the whole UK and as many photos and video clips as I can imagine taking.

21. Oh shit he know about backdrops

22. Ты умный мальчик какого ты включаешь видео на английском? Заглавок на русском.

23. i had 4a last year sept and got stolen by feb i want to get new one again but the security patch hindrance me because next year august is the last one security patch 4a will get so that's a no for me

24. I am praying hard that my pixel 4a battery last as long as possible, because I am going to use it until I found another decent budget small phone.

25. Going to buy this and wait for the pixel 7 or 8 depending on how im feeling about their new chip

26. i lost mine (barely blue 4a) and now the only available pixel 4a costs 470 euros. Whould you pay 100+ or just go for pixel 6 an other pixel?
    pixel 5a 560 euros
    pixel 4a 5g 540
    Pixel 6 560

27. Software issue with Google imprint in android 12 update.. completely clearing out the Google imprint

28. I got the barely blue color and believe me it's really beautiful in the eye.

29. most pixel 4 a i find to buy are "new" costs around $300 and come from
    china, are they all fake or is it a genuine model that price dropped
    because it is discontinued ? thanks

30. Pixel 4a is one of the lightest and smallest phones under 6" with android 12. It's an amazing phone that can do anything. Bigger doesn't always mean better especially if you're like me that's active and don't want a huge phone in the pocket.

31. I love this phone so much but I had massive problems with it just randomly never turning back on , I got in contact with Google and they sent me a new one immediately no questions asked said it was their fault (this was a year ago) then this happened again around a month ago – makes me nervous to buy another enough though I love them

32. A pixel 4a user since 2020
    My first pixel device
    It is a great compact phone
    I can hold it phone just using one hand and it feel great
    My whole family love the quality of the photos it shot
    The price is great and it suit most of my requirement of what it take to be my phone
    I don't play game usually and I don't need too fast network speed so i don't need too fast cpu and gpu and 5G not even useful for me
    I usually stay at home using wifi so the battery really doesn't matter to me
    I compare it with samsung galaxy S10E and Iphone SE (both of them are compact phones with mid-range to flagship performance)
    I don't want to use an Iphone because it would be a nightmare to follow apple stupid UI
    Samsung one UI is not my taste either

    BTW
    Now, my pixel 4a is running Pixel Experience 12.1(custom rom)
    It is a great device for custom rom and root players 😉

33. There's a black screen of death issue on these phones. People make videos and never talk about this. Samsungs don't have this issue.

34. Love my pixel 3a and moving on to 4a. Be aware this device only gets security updates until 2023.

35. Just baught one for 120$ today and I love it. ❤️❤️

36. So I have the opportunity to buy a Pixel 4 or 4A for about the same price, $200'ish. Since you have had both phones, what would you recommend? Pixel 4 with better build quality, higher refresh rate, IP68, faster processor, 2nd camera lense but that sucky battery and software support ending this year; or the Pixel 4A with the headphone jack, better battery life and software support to the end of next year?

37. 349 huh got my 4 xl for 220.

38. Better realme 6 pro or Google pixel 4a ?

39. What wood be a better buy Goole p 4 or LX or Goole 4a or 4a 5g !!!

40. Sad that small phones aren't the trend anymore. Getting tired of expensive huge phones that are the prices of gaming laptops these days. Wish more manufacturers made small android phones.

41. Where can one buy this phone new in 2022?
