The Pixel 4a features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor coupled with 128 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM. There’s a hole-punch cut-out on the front in the top left corner for the camera, and the bezels are also relatively slim. Just like the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3, the Pixel 4a uses the same main camera unit and image processing as the flagship Pixel 4, so you’ll get amazing photos out of this thing.
The phone features stock Android with updates for at least 3 years (which likely means Android 14). It comes with exclusive Pixel features like the advanced Voice Recorder with transcriptions, Personal Safety for emergency notifications and car crash detection, Live Caption for real-time captioning of your video and audio content, and the new Google Assistant interface for faster multitasking.
The phone only comes in one color — Just Black — and the headphone jack and rear-mounted fingerprint scanner are also here to stay!
The best part is the price, though. You get all this for just $349.
