Review on Get Google Pixel 4a - Unlocked Android Smartphone with 128 GB Storage & 24 Hour Battery Life in Barely Blue Color by Jaewon Hahm ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

I chose a phone in the search by setting the dimensions, I didn’t even bother with the company at the first step of the search. After a year of searching, something worthwhile finally fell out . I do not regret the purchase at all, but I must share my experience of using it. 1. The on / off buttons and the sound have changed places - as they write a matter of habit. In general, after a month of use, I definitely do not feel any inconvenience. At the same time, it became less convenient to make screenshots - you have to spread your fingers wider. 2. In the first 3 weeks, GPS worked very badly - it was just terrible in the navigator and 2gis, it constantly turned the wrong way, sent it to non-existent turns, now 2gis is working stably, the navigator at least yesterday was not naughty. Hope it's fixed. 3. The list of running applications is opened by a slow swipe up and a short delay on the screen for 2-4 seconds. When you try to transfer something from application to application, it takes an extremely long time. 4. Data transfer - a convenient type c to type c cord - that is, I connected 2 phones to each other and you're done, everything you need is installed and transferred. At the same time, the plug is Chinese, I use the plug from the old phone (string was also with type c) 5. Otherwise, the phone is just super-duper - the sound quality is like from an expensive speaker, for the first time when I heard it, I thought the speaker turned on. 6. Gorgeous photos - the sides do not expand the image, you can see everything clearly, the colors are excellent. 7. The battery lasts all day with active use (Internet, games, multiple applications, watching movies) 8. Applications are installed on the desktop, but they can be removed simply in the menu without being reflected on the desktop, the last phone was annoying with this - the desktops were always filled with no idea what. 9. 2 sim cards are also a plus, though I haven’t yet appreciated how convenient it is to choose when calling a sim through a pop-up window. In the past, both buttons were visible and the choice was on the screen with the phone.

Pros
  • I was looking for a phone in size, and this one fits very well in my hand. Very good photos. The sound of the conversation is clear and loud. Charging (perhaps while new) is holding up perfectly.
Cons
  • A very serious drawback for me is the lack of Google calendar notifications: what I just didn’t do - and vibration and sounds and songs and pop-ups - the result is zero, only daily monitoring of friends' DR helps. The second negative is the backtrack: it has a swipe left feature to go back. Therefore, I can’t get to the last photo of several posted on Insta (on ebay or Booking) . once every other time instead of the next photo - return to the top of the list (as an example, there are many such situations)
