Bought new Pixel 4a over Black Friday weekend because of compact size and reported good Camera. After initial set up found that incoming phone calls (when phone was in use) triggered the notification bar at top of screen but neither the 'call accept' or 'call reject' options would work (unresponsive) and I lost the call. However if the phone call was received when the lockscreen was in operation (phone not in use) then the call triggered the full screen notification page and the green call acceptance 'button' could be slid upwards and call answered as normal. Did a software update and the fault with the notification bar not responding when the phone was in use was unchanged - couldnt answer the call which was lost. Not only that but after the software update I could not be heard in a call - microphone had gone faulty. Camera seemed excellent but I returned the pixel 4a for a full refund. Wasn't impressed.

Not impressed. 14 months on from buying and due to covid I have not had the change to use the camera much and the phone is failing. The image on the screen is full of horizontal lines. It is not that I am hard on phones or have mistreated this phone. I phone, text and use a camera on my phone. I work in a call centre so it spends 90% of it's time switched off in my purse. I use it SO little I am on a 1 gb data plan and rarely even use that amount. I spent way more than I usually do for a phone on this one because of the camera. Usually I get about three years use from a phone. I was quoted $250 to repair, and I have not even finished paying for it on the plan I have so can't afford to repair or buy another. Very annoyed and, like I said, very unimpressed.

Specs, camera and os is pretty good. But considering pixel 4a is not compatible for 5G and all mobile operators are moving to 5G. Is it worth paying 32k for pixel 4a

I do understand it is because of budget, but how is Gorilla Glass 3 against shatter? I just recently dropped my 3a from 1m downfacing wooden floor, it shattered all over. But that glass is named Asahi - whats the difference there?

A friend of mine has GP 4a. The problems he has with this phone:
1) Screen is not as good as it could be. Outdoors in a sunny weather it's difficult to see it
2) Battery life, sometimes he has to recharge battery 2 times per day. No gaming
3) Quality. Telephone itself feels cheap.
4) Camera. It's slow, AI smoothes images (I guess a filtre by default).
For this price it could be better.

Battery just a bit small, hopefully the new extreme saver function coming soon helps those of us who dont like to worry about a charge every single day.
