Google Pixel 4a 5G

We may see another flagship priced twice as much as the Pixel 4a 5G, but I'm a fan of this strategy of providing a solid stock Android phone with all the great camera and Google goodies that set the Pixel line apart from the rest.

Pixel 4a 5G might just be the best value Pixel to be released this year

It's top marks for the Pixel 4a 5G...Google has somehow stumbled on the secret ingredient when it comes to offering high-level features at the fraction of the cost of pricey flagships.

There are smartphones that offer better hardware for similar money, but they simply can't match the Pixel on camera or battery life.

Pixel 4a is an excellent value, but its 5G-enabled big brother offers a significant upgrade for not too much more cash.

Android Authority | Oliver Cragg

The Pixel 4a 5G takes the best of the Pixel 5 and combines it with the value package of the Pixel 4a.

Engadget | Cherlynn Low

If you want a new Pixel with a bigger screen, wide-angle camera, 5G and a headphone jack, the Pixel 4a 5G is the phone for you.

Pixel 4a 5G does everything it needs to do to be great, and doesn't do a bit more. For most people, that's all you need.

If you do not need 5G, then the 5.8-inch Pixel 4a is a good alternative to the Pixel 4a 5G:

The Pixel 4a 5G is a very good phone, boosted significantly by its highly impressive camera performance

... if you can afford it I think the Pixel 5 is a better buy.

In short, while Google's tweener phone is good, I'm not sure the Pixel 4a 5G does enough to stand out from the great phones that sandwich it.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

The Pixel 4a 5G is a good phone perched in an awkward place in Google's 2020 smartphone lineup.

NextPit | Benjamin Lucks

If Google did not release the Pixel 5, I would have given you a clear recommendation to buy the Pixel 4a 5G.

Android Central | Hayato Huseman

It's priced a bit awkwardly between Google's best and cheapest phones, but it's still an excellent option.

Tom's Guide | Philip Michaels

That makes it a better option if you want a 5G phone from Google.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

For those looking for an even more affordable device there's also the Pixel 4a, but when it comes to bang for your buck we'd take the Pixel 4a 5G.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

As with all Pixels, the 4A 5G's strengths are hard to put on a spec sheet. It's more unassuming than other Android phones, but its software is also more elegant and easier to use - and of course, the camera is almost surely better than the direct competition. It won't turn heads, but the Pixel 4A 5G won't let you down, either.
