One-handed use possible Powerful single camera Headphone jack

Mediocre battery life No 5G (yet) or wireless charging Cheaper-feeling design

The compact size, clean interface and great point-and-shoot camera of the Pixel 4a will appeal to those looking for an affordable, reasonably sized handset with enough grunt to handle the basics, plus the ability to capture some excellent pictures.

Solid camera performance ; Guaranteed software updates for three years ; Refined design

Underwhelming display ; Lacks wireless charging ; Questionable durability

The Google Pixel 4a is one of the better midrange Android phones on the market, particularly for photo buffs.

Only $349 for 128GB of storage ; Excellent camera for photos ; Decent battery life

Sometimes stuttery performance ; Mediocre camera for video ; No wireless charging

Google has priced the Pixel 4A at just $349, which is $50 less than the iPhone SE. Even at that aggressively low cost, the phone delivers a best-in-class camera for photos. Will the slower processor hold up to years of use, though?

Surprisingly nice design with lots of screen ; Incredible results from just a single camera ; Amazing price with more storage than the Pixel 4 ; Stellar battery life

Performance can be pokey at times ; No color or storage options

Whether you’re budget-conscious, feature-conscious, or are just tired of paying too much for phones that barely fit in your pocket, the Pixel 4a is a fantastic option that won’t make you feel like you cheaped out.

Great camera ; Plenty of power ; Great display ; Compact format ; Clean Android software ; Great speakers

Battery life a little variable ; Might be too small for some ; Not the latest hardware

As a mid-range phone we can hardly fault what the Pixel 4a offers. It's very capable and delivers a great camera experience. Some people might find it a little too small, but for those looking for a compact phone we can't really see why you'd need to...

Aggressively priced ; Camera rivals flagships ; Solid performance and battery ; 3.5mm headphone jack

No wireless charging ; Not waterproof or dustproof ; Bland design
