#22Bit confused as to why mtgx's comment has been voted into oblivion, as it's a legitimate complaint with the Pixel line. My girlfriend has a 3a and it has taken about 3 months for the battery life to start being a minor issue; i.e. she makes sure to charge it during the day if she has somewhere to be in the evening.
It's really the only complaint I have about an otherwise good phone, and it doesn't look like the 4a really addresses it. It appears Google is looking for a software solution to battery life, which I don't disagree with, but that whole approach is basically pointless if someone happens to install Facebook on their phone.
On the positive side, the 3a has a great camera and it looks like the 4a is continuing that. I've been particularly impressed by the 3a's low-light capabilities, such as taking good photos indoors, and it's especially good considering its price.

#23The Pixel “a” devices and the new iPhone SE are really great news. Until recently it seemed you had to choose between a $1000 flagship phone and a $200 piece of garbage. I’m really happy to see a sensible middle ground developing at last.

#24This almost puts it in the price point of an iPod touch. There are so many business options with devices like iPod touches but I have yet to find similar for Android.

#25Somehow Apple is able to build these pages in a way that doesn't feel so janky like this does. I have no idea what the technical differences are.

#26One of the biggest reasons I'm happy with the increasing competition in the budget segments is that they're starting to make the 'right' sacrifices, slightly negating the distinctive features and advantages of flagship phones. Flagship phones will either have to adapt (introducing more useful features and not extra camera-bloat), or people will just keep buying the cheaper ones.

#28Is it just me, or does every single photo supposedly demonstrating the quality of the camera have awful artifacts? (I'm not saying this means it has a poor quality camera, I suspect that whatever process prepared these photos for the website cranked up the JPEG compression or something.)

#29Still no gorilla glass what makes this device useless without cover. EDIT: OK. I'm wrong. It actually has old Gorilla Glass. I hope that will make this phone way better than Pixel 3a which was completely disappointment because of poor glass choice (e.g. here is example of users experience https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/9205039?hl=en )

#30I can only hope they will revisit face unlock in the era of face masks. I greatly prefered fingerprint unlock. I treat either of these as tamper resistance rather than actual security, but I find fingerprint unlock to be a much better experience.
