Pixel 4a is bit different mid-range smartphone

Pixel 4a competitors iPhone se, one plus nord, and Samsung Galaxy 71. It's more affordable than its competitors.

Overview of pixel 4a

It's just a basic android phone. There are no-frills.

Simply design the punch-hole display, not too bigger like today's smartphone. Pixel 4a has a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you want a simple, responsive, and excellent camera phone you can go with pixel 4a.

Display

Pixel 4a 60hz 1080p Oled display with punch hole camera. The screen is a 5.81-inch, Full HD 1080p and OLED panel, and it looks incredible. Especially, this is one of the best displays I’ve seen on a budget device. The Gorilla Glass 3-covered screen gets relatively bright, maxing out at about 719 nits in our testing. The color balance was among the most proper we’ve tested this year. But It’s clear Google learned how to make a good display.

The front camera is left-top of the display in the punch-hole which make the pixel 4a bezel-less compare to the last year launched

Pixel 3a. And the matte finish makes it more premium and reduces overall fingerprint. These physical features make it modern and premium in the budget segment.

Performance

Google pixel 4a is an affordable device due to its processor Qualcomm snapdragon 730g 

Which is a bit outdated, it's good but not powerful as a Qualcomm snapdragon 765g. Not the best experience in gaming. In daily use, it really works flawlessly no hiccups and stuttering. If you are not a gamer and not using the phone too much then this phone is made for you.

6 GB RAM makes it more effective and now it can not kill your background applications because Google's previous smartphone pixel 3a was disparaged for its ram management.

Now Google clears all the issues and comes out with a reasonable price.

The 128 GB storage was also a very good and promising decision by Google. Before a few months, Google introduced Pixel 4 which has 64 GB storage, Due to fewer features, pixel 4 can't attract customers.

• 128 GB ROM
• Adreno 618

Camera

The camera is the main highlighting point of this device. Pixel 4a has an excellent single-lens 12.2-megapixel sony IMX363 rear sensor

A similar sensor also in pixel 4. Google has not changed camera hardware but the software of this phone will not give disappointment it provides better images.

Most of the features of pixel 4a has taken from pixel 4 like dual exposure slider and astrophotography mode.

Due to similarity in pixel 4a, 4 and 3a camera features. They capture similar pictures. In such we can say 4a can be produced good images with the best dynamic range and color. And maintain color balance as well as more contrast.

Like this device, many devices already present in the market but they capturing brighter shadows, but The Pixel 4a adds just enough while maintaining shadow and highlight detail, leading to a very pleasing image.

Pixel 4a produces a sharp picture with proper white balance and a warmer tone. This combination gives a picture like a professional

Selfie camera

Video

And The Pixel 4a can shoot 4K video at up to 30fps, and 1080p video at up to 60fps. 4K video looks quite good with good stabilization, but it did regulate to overexpose just a tad on a super bright day. If you’re in a more formal situation, lighting looks much better.
