        joe nodden, 06 Nov 2020Isn't this like 3 months lateThe Pixel 4a I ordered two months ago has still not shipped. So, no, the phone had only been announced and shipped to reviewers prematurely, before everyone could have it.

          I actually don't mind having a plastic body. People are still going to put casing anyway, so having a glass body is not that important. But plastic frame? Sorry OnePlus Nord, that's not a good choice.

              Ranita, 06 Nov 2020No at all durable..My Google pixel 4a is damaged within 10 ... moreWow your comment, your logic. Let's say that somebody says this Volvo car is super safe, it got maximum points in safety tests etc. etc. Then you show up all white, with a little skid mark on you pants and say "hurr durr, not safe at all, my friend drove one into a tree and died".
              If you are such a child that you can't hold thing in your hand without dropping it, then buy one of those rubber phone protectors for child's.

                        Dropped mine two weeks after purchase and now have big cracks in corner of the screen. Love the phone, but not impressed with the durability.

                              Isn't the 4A polycarbonate? I thought that was a tougher material than aluminium? Might not take so well to a knife as I think it can be soft, but it's superstrong to flexing and impacts.

There have been days where I'd get in my car and drive for like an hour, then realize my smartphone was in my back pocket the whole time. Mistakes happen, and devices that get used daily should at least be able to survive that kind of a mistake.

                                      you can search on google and see how durable the pixel 4a is
                                      simply search for pixel 4a creaks and you'll see the horrors of the durable back creaking terribly on many units

                                        It's all about structural design. Though, these days, hardly any phone really fails badly. Even cheapest Realme all plastic models survive serious bends. And all this happened thanks to people like JRE torturing phones. No one wants to be on Shelf of Shame.
