I just got his and hers 4a 5G phones. They're fantastic for the price. Stock Android with minimal bloatware. Cameras for me are meh, I use my phone for many things I used to do on a desktop. It's fast, the screen has a minimal bezel (the edge wrapped screens I never cared for,) thin and the battery life and chargjng are fantastic. My carrier hasn't rolled out 5G yet, but when it does I'm ready for it.

    How is the 4A a loser? Are you out of your mind? That's one of the best phones of the year.

          "It costs just a bit more than the Pixel 4a and yet it offers a bigger display"

          Stop GSMA! A bigger display is not always a pro ! Some of us want a compact phone.

                I disagree, I came from the pixel 2xl to the pixel 5. I find it great. A little different to get used to as it's smaller, but the picture quality is awesome. I use a variety of Google products.

                            Google, for the 6, should have both a regular and a Stadia version:

                            Regular: triple cam, Snapdragon 77X, 6.2" OLED 90Hz, 4,300mAH with 21W charging minimum, 8GB RAM/128GB ROM minimum, 15W wireless charging, IP68, and bring back front facing stereo speakers for $700 MAX

                            Stadia: same as above only with Snapdragon 888, 2K@120Hz OLED, headphone jack with DAC, 7.0", 5,500mAH battery with 25W wired charging, 8GB RAM/256GB ROM, and free 4K Stadia for a year for at MAX $900.

                            Only then will Google bounce back the way I see it.

                              Yet another article that re-iterates the mantra that the device with larger screen is better. No wonder we are moving towards a market where all we have is phablets.

                                All Pixel phones are losers, they're all trash and no one likes them apart from fanboy review "experts". This isn't my opinion either, it's fact. Not even in the top 10 for sales

                                  Oh dear Pixel mine. I once loved you, shelled out 1100 usd. But you died. Then came to know about the dying motherboard issues, which is prevalent from Pixel 1 to Pixel 3. Not sure about Pixel 4 and 5 is just released. Take care of your hardware issues Google, so that I can happily come back to the one released in 2021.

                                        Even if picel 4a was released this month... it will still be a winner imo. The only downside at the price is the so-so battery
