Conchita Fernandes puts the Google Pixel 4a to the test to find out if its camera is as good as its predecessors.
Google Pixel 4a - Simple & Intuitive
Last year, Google released the Pixel 4a, 4A 5G and the Pixel 5. Amongst these, it was only the Pixel 4a that was launched in India with no clear indication of when the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5 will be launched if at all. One could look at the Pixel 4a as the younger budget-friendly sibling to the Pixel 4, which was launched in 2019. Priced at Rs. 29,999,

it is currently the most affordable phone amongst the devices sold on the Google Pixel India website. Let’s find out if the phone packs a similar punch as its predecessors in the camera department.

What You Can Find in the Phone

The Google Pixel 4a comes in a polycarbonate unibody with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 cover. It has a matte finish that eliminates the problem of smudges caused by fingerprints. While it is not the most sophisticated-looking phone, its charm and refinement lies in its simplicity.

The phone comes with a 5.8-inch FullHD+ OLED display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor. It is not the fastest processor in the market when accounting for other phones within the Pixel 4a’s price bracket, but it does not cause any functional issues in the phone.
