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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

I chose this phone because I wanted something that would be very simple to carry. I absolutely dislike the current fashion for "shovels." I've only ever used small smartphones, and I've always found it to be really practical. The HTC Desire, the very first smartphone of its kind, came before it, and it was followed by the Samsung S4 tiny and the Samsung A3 2022. The latter has only recently started to noticeably slow down in current apps, and the battery was previously bad at holding a charge. I had to find someone to take my place. And from relatively small Android devices, such as the Google Pixel 4a, 4a 5G, and 5 in turn, or from incredibly underpowered cheap versions. The price requirements were not met by the first two. There is only the Pixel 4a model left. There is a significant likelihood that I would decide against buying it if I had the chance to see it in person before making a decision because of the low quality of the screen. However, this screen has a serious flaw that I have never seen before: the white color is distorted to a degree that I have never seen before. Without it, everything would be fine. Despite this, all of my previous smartphones had AMOLED displays. On the upper and bottom margins, white distortions are already apparent, and alternate waves of pink and green hues are emerging. Even when the phone is held absolutely perpendicular to the plane on which the screen is displayed, this still happens. Any of the earlier cellphones did not have this feature. When using programs with a white background, this is a huge challenge to overcome. It is particularly strange that technologies like VoLTE, flash drives with the exFAT or NTFS file system, and wireless connections to televisions utilizing the Miracast protocol are not supported out of the box. The Samsung A3 2022 housed all of this data (perhaps with the exception of NTFS, but I can't remember for sure right now). With the exception of Miracast, everything was accomplished through software modifications. So it's pretty strange that this isn't an entirely original thought. In Overall, I would say that the phone is worth the money it costs if the screen quality and overall build quality were better. I think the cost is high, especially in light of the possibility of problems of this sort (and the fact that they don't seem to be the product of the union of a particular sample). Consumers who want new mini androids, however, are regrettably without any other options.

Pros
  • High performance (everything runs very smoothly and quickly), the battery lasts for a day even with active use (six hours of screen operation), good sound quality from the speakers, good speaker volume (although it seems to me that everyone around you can hear the conversation perfectly), good main camera, relatively compact, pure android without any additional software, and excellent performance overall.
Cons
  • Construction quality (the case occasionally pops open while in use), screen quality (despite how bizarre it may sound, the white display changes into a rainbow at the slightest tilt), and the lack of out-of-the-box support for VoLTE, NTFS, or exFAT storage systems for flash drives connected via an adapter. Only Chromecast supports wirelessly sending a picture to a TV; however, some televisions, like the LG C6 TV I own, do not support Chromecast. In addition, the Miracast standard does not include support for this.
