Pixel 4a is finally here, and the wild part is it’s actually $50 cheaper than last year’s 3a—while giving you more. In this video I break down why Google’s “keep it simple” approach (one color, one size, one option) really worked, and why I honestly think they nailed it. You’re getting a Snapdragon 730G, 6GB of RAM, a slightly bigger battery, and that clean Pixel design with the hole-punch front and minimal bezels. Of course, when you think Pixel, you think camera—and yeah, Google absolutely crushes it here. It’s just a single 12MP rear camera with an 8MP selfie cam, but the software is phenomenal, and the photos are straight-up some of the best you can get in 2020. My daily is the S20, and I still reach for the Pixel 4a when I actually want to take a photo. You’re not getting wide angle or telephoto, but at $350 the results are kind of mind-blowing. I also talk about the 5.8-inch 1080p OLED (deep blacks, great outdoor brightness), surprisingly good dual stereo speakers with warmth and bass, and battery life that easily lasts me a full day. The only real adjustment for me was going back to 60Hz after using 120Hz, plus a little worry about long-term performance—but for everyday use, this thing is a budget beast.
