Editor Rating
/5

Google Pixel 4a was launched as more of a mid-tier offering when compared to its flagship cousins, although you get the same Google aesthetic and build quality. The finish of the rear panel is a bit plainer, and the camera cutout isn’t glossy either, but you do get the same refined design and comfortable grip as you would in the more expensive models. The place where you can really tell the difference is the performance of the phone itself, which is slightly hampered by the lower-tier processor and the more rudimentary camera hardware. Thankfully, the Google software experience is more than enough to make up for it.
