Although I've only had the Pixel 4a for a few days, it's great so far. The phone was about 60% charged and didn't need immediate security updates as far as I know. I was able to open the box and start building right away without having to wait for a fee. The assembly instructions were good. There is a cable in the box so you can easily transfer everything from your old Pixel phone to your new one in about 15 minutes or less. It also included a small SIM card removal tool. It was a nice and unexpected bonus that saved a lot of heartache. Moving everything from the old Pixel to the 4a was smooth and didn't take long; The most frustrating part is having to remember your Google password and every other app password you had on your previous phone. I also had to reconfigure some settings. At the moment I don't seem to have lost anything, even though 8 of my contacts were transferred without names. To clarify, the numbers were there in the last few texts without names, but I was able to read the previous texts and identify which number it was, so I was able to add them as new contact text, each with 3 small vertical dots. I loved my flagship Pixel, but knew I needed a new one because the old one was unsupported and performance was dropping. I chose the Pixel 4a mainly because the Pixel doesn't have all the malware that comes with Samsung and other brands. I don't use FB, Twitter or many other apps that take up storage space and not having these unnecessary apps on my phone was a big problem for me. I like it when we decide whether to put the application on my phone and not force it on us. I also like Google Keep for Notes and Google Calendar as I've had them on previous phones and it all transferred smoothly to this Pixel 4a. Another good factor is the 4a's price (that was important in our decision), especially since it has everything I need and not a bunch of stuff I don't need or need. An additional plus is the large screen (no bezel) while maintaining the small size of the phone. The screen looks stylish and is small enough to easily take it out of your pocket or purse. Everything runs faster and smoother than the old Pixel. I don't really care about the plastic hardware because I use a sturdy wallet case for my phones so it's protected and people can't see the phone from the outside anyway. There are some nice new bells and whistles to see if you're moving from an older Pixel, but those are good things and haven't been a huge disappointment so far. I'm still struggling a bit with gestures β and how to double-tap to bring up recent apps so we can close them all. I liked the way we did it better on the old Pixel, but I'm adapting. I also noticed that the new camera seems to save 2 of each camera shot (probably one for editing) and this is annoying because they take up extra storage and we rarely edit our photos so we end up deleting the duplicate almost every time. I really hope Google Photos fixes this problem soon. I hope this review can help others who are considering upgrading to the Pixel 4a. All in all, the move away from the flagship Pixel (or Pixel One, or whatever it's called now) seems like a good move.
