Google Pixel 4a with 5G - Android Phone - New Unlocked Smartphone with Night Sight and Ultrawide Lens - Just Black

This phone is pretty near perfect. It's my second one, only because I wanted a new battery. Old one was was just fine though, and I even got $50 for it at a shop.

I love this phone. It has great value for the money and many newer features. The portraits are so clean and look like professional photography. The editing tools are much easier than my previous phone (another brand) and it is slimmer so it fits in my front pocket nicely.I was a little hesitant even though the Pixel has great reviews, but I am so happy I spent the money.

Tengo un Google Pixel 3XL, compre es te porque el anterior me dio muy buenos resultados. Ya lo estoy usando y hasta el momento es excelente su funcionamiento.

The Google Pixel 4A 5G truly sounds impressive on paper with its Night Vision mode, powerful videography capabilities, 5G connectivity, extensive suite of apps, large file storage capacity, all-day battery, video streaming, yadda yadda yadda. And it's THIN! And it's LIGHT! - Only 168 grams!There's only one problem, however. It is as fragile as a potato chip. Six days ago, I was walking through my neighborhood with my nine-month-old Google Pixel 4A 5G in my front right pants pocket. The Pixel was encased in a Spigen Tough Armor case and was equipped with a tempered glass screen protector. Due to an unfortunate encounter with a dog, I tripped and fell - on my back, mind you. I was fortunately not hurt (although to this day I hope that worthless dog gets struck by lightning), but when I pulled my Pixel out of my pocket to exchange phone numbers with the dog's owner, I discovered the damage you see in the attached pictures. The phone display showed what I can only describe as a "green screen of death." From that moment to now, the phone has been totally unusable. The front screen is destroyed, the headphone jack is destroyed, and the back cover has partially separated from the front of the phone. And all this from a drop of about 33 inches. (I'm not a tall guy!) A drop that occurred while the phone was not only in its protective case, but was still in my pocket!Which leads to two philosophical questions. First, if a phone has impressive capabilities, yet is too fragile to take with you on a walk, what good is it? I don't play video games, nor do I watch movies on smartphones. And if I want to take pictures, there are plenty of good cameras that I can buy. My Pixel's capabilities are worthless to me now, and I am out $500 dollars for a phone that's turned into a piece of junk.Second, what's with the obsession that manufacturers and sellers of certain things have with weight and size? We're constantly being bombarded with marketing that says that we should buy the lightest, thinnest versions of certain very expensive things - as if the presence of even two or three extra grams will pin us to the ground. It's not like we're competing in the summer Olympics! I am thinking right now of the Greek myth of Sisyphus being punished eternally by being forced to roll a large boulder up a hill only to have the boulder slip out of his hands just before he gets to the hilltop. And I can imagine someone coming to him and saying, "Dude - the reason you can't roll that rock over the hill is because of the smartphone you're carrying! It adds weight and slows you down! You should buy one of our phones, because they don't weigh anything more than air!" Thin + light does not always equal "cutting-edge quality." Thin + light = cheap sometimes.

El teléfono en sí es un salto adelante en la experiencia global, pero eso no lo hace exento de uno que otro problema. Vivo feliz, es rápido, todo carga según lo esperado, y soy incapaz de volver a celulares de menos categoría ya que la fluidez de la interfaz y la carga de todo se echan en falta.Ahora, cosas que he notado:- No he sido persona de protectores de ninguna clase, y en este se nota mucho la versión antigua de Gorilla Glass. Jamás había tenido tantos microrrayones en tan poco tiempo como los que he tenido con el Pixel 4a 5g. Comprarlo junto a un buen protector de pantalla debería ser obligatorio.- Siempre se lee que el teléfono no sufre de ningún lag, y eso es verdad el 90% del tiempo. Tan pronto empieza a calentarse un poco, sea por lo que sea, se empieza a notar bastante, especialmente en la cámara. Más de una vez he visto la pantalla congelada mientras trato de tomar una foto. No tengo celulares de igual o más categoría con los que comparar así que no daré más vueltas en este asunto.- A mi gusto, la pantalla tiene una leve tendencia hacia el amarillo, con colores más cálidos que otras.Por otra parte, un montón de cosas buenas:- Doble toque, levantar para despertar y demás acciones que usan los sensores funcionan excelente.- El lector de huellas dactilares funciona de maravilla. En mi anterior teléfono tenía que secarme el dedo cada vez porque con muy (MUY) poco sudor ya fallaba.- La cámara trasera, para fotos, es de lo mejorcito, ni que decir de la visión nocturna. En video si se nota que no hay procesado de Google, aún así los diversos modos dan mucho juego.- La pantalla se ve muy bien, y es muy espaciosa.- La batería tiene una duración aceptable.- El brillo máximo no es tan alto, pero aún así se puede manejar en exteriores.- Siempre al día, las actualizaciones directo de la fuente y sin intermediarios.Lastima que Google cape algunas funciones, bastante interesantes, si se está fuera de EE.UU.
