Karlston Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Google Pixel 4a is off to a strong start, as the cheap phone sells out on Amazon The Google Pixel 4a is capable budget smartphone (Image credit: Google) The Google Pixel 4a is flying off virtual shelves and has already sold out on Amazon after pre-orders opened on Monday, August 3. Google’s budget smartphone packs in all the desirable features that make the Pixel range so appealing, such as a fantastic camera that excels at low-light photography, and a stock version of Android OS. The phone has proven to be such a hit, that it’s already become the ‘#1 Best Seller’ on Amazon’s unlocked cellphones list and is currently unavailable. For $349.99 / £349 / AU$599, the Google Pixel 4a sports a 5.81-inch screen, 6GB of RAM and is powered by a Snapdragon 730G. There’s only one color available, Just Black, but that hasn’t stopped people from pre-ordering the phone in their droves. With phones continuing to attract a more premium price tag with each new iteration, there’s a sizable gap in the market for capable, cheaper phones to dominate. Apple has also set its sights on capturing the consumer who’s after a phone that won’t cost the Earth with its iPhone SE, which is significantly more affordable than other iPhone models. Cheap and cheerful We believe Google could be onto a winner with the Google Pixel 4a and enjoyed its compact size, clean interface and great point-and-shoot camera in our review. It isn’t perfect, though, as the battery life could be better, and we noted that the phone feels rather cheap in the hand. We're expecting to see another phone from Google in the coming months: the Google Pixel 5. This likely won't match the low price tag of the Pixel 4a, however, as it will likely warrant a more high-end price tag.

Karlston Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Google Pixel 4a unboxing and first impressions Just a few days, Google announced the Pixel 4a after months of delays. It was originally supposed to be shown off at Google's I/O developer conference, just like the Pixel 3a was in 2019. I/O ended up being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so Google held off on launching the Pixel 4a for a while. The budget Pixel comes in at $349, and it's all about bringing those flagship features down to a lower price point. It has the same 12MP single-lens camera that Google has been using, and since the company relies heavily on software to take good pictures, it has the exact same feature set. The only thing missing is the 2x zoom lens that's found on the Pixel 4. It supports things like astrophotography, Super Res Zoom, and more. The device comes with a Snapdragon 730G processor and 6GB RAM. If you want something that's a bit beefier, there is a Pixel 4a 5G coming later on this year, and that one will likely include the Snapdragon 765 chipset, although it will also be pricier at $499. It comes in any color you want, as long as it's Just Black, and the only storage configuration is 128GB. This is also the first Pixel phone that doesn't have a corresponding XL model. But it sure feels good to use, fitting nicely in my hand and bringing back the fingerprint reader, making it easy to use with a mask on.
