Overview

The Pixel 4a is a mid-range spec smartphone that can rival its current competitors out on the market. It features a budget-friendly price but a capable processor and a 60Hz screen refresh rate that is also ideal for gaming or watching movies. The 5.8-inch screen is an AMOLED with a small hole for the front 8-megapixel camera and at the back it only has 1 12-megapixel camera shooter but it takes very nice picture especially in lowlight conditions. This smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 730 with 6 gigabytes of ram and a 128gb internal memory with no memory card slot for expansion.

Pixel 4a Top 5 Features

1. 60Hz Display

2. Snapdragon 730

This is a mid-tier processor that is still capable of gaming and it is very efficient on battery life. The Pixel 4a can detect apps that are rarely used and can lessen the CPU usage to prolong battery life.

3. 12 Megapixel Rear Camera

It may only has a single camera as its main shooter at the rear, but this camera packs a punch in terms of low light performance and it is one of the best for in terms of its price range. While the front camera is neatly placed on the screen with no notch, it is just a hole on the left side.

4. 128GB Storage

It has no expandable memory or memory card slot but the 128 gigabytes of storage is enough to store most games, files, movies, pictures and videos.

5. Dual Front Firing Speakers

Speakers are the front-firing types which means it doesn't get block while playing games compared to the traditional bottom-firing one.
