Same, I literally just want to snap pictures ocassionally and take calls. Seems like the perfect option.

Bro i bought the 3a after the first wave of stellar reviews came out and it runs League of Legends Wild Rift without ever dropping frames. Obvi not crysis but the cheaper processors still got kick too! (So i also hope they continue the a line)

I guess by crysis you mean genshin impact lol

Exactly. Im super happy with my 4a even after almost 1 year of use it feel completely new. Some phones died on me after 1year. Ill for sure stick with the A-Series. Next phone ill buy will be the 6a if they going to release it. The only reason why is skip the 5a is because my 4a is still working so well. The only think that is missing for me is a Pixel watch.

Yes. agreed. I first tried the Pixel 3A after having the Pixel 2 And loved it as a budget phone. It did everything better than the Pixel 2 did. Later upgraded to Pixel 4A which I have now for the 128gb storage! I think I'll always stick with the A series.

@@Matanumi 5a is not expensive

I dropped 4a into the water today. Now, I'm here for 5a 😭😭😭.

If the 5a was the 6a, I'd happily get it. My contract ends in October though so the 5a will just be a bit too old for me to commit to on a new contract. My 4a has been great, less powerful, worse battery and slower than my OnePlus 5T was, but it's all I really look for in a phone. Runs well, great camera and gets updates. The latter two the OnePlus failed on. My 4a has had its own hiccups though and I don't like it. It's fine 90% of the time but I have to restart it every now and then and the RAM is noticeable. I'm kinda stuck because I don't like what they're gonna do with the 6a so I don't know what brand or phone I'll go with.

@@braydenkenney3313 I hear the wireless charging perk but with my Pixel 5 the battery is so big that even with a Google wireless charger it will take over an hour and a half to charge from about 25%. It's still nice for a few minutes here and there like eating dinner and taking a shower, and the reverse wireless charging is nice too, but since my 5 I have used wired charging much more often than with my 3 before it.

well i dont know if the lasar autofocus itself costs a full $50 to add to the pixel but yeah

No I guess auto focus sensor didn’t cost that much, i guess it about 3$ to 6$/pies But just imagining if they can sell 100000 units of this…… How much money they will save? 300000$-600000$ That why !

Mauro Analyst

The reason they're able to cut price is because it never costed as much as to go for $500 in the first place. The 2020 releases included at $350 Pixel 4a and an upgraded version of that, which they really needed to separate in price, so that people looking to buy the 4a wouldn't look at a $450 Pixel 4a 5G and struggle to pick which one to buy, only to end up looking for alternatives to Pixel. When there's multiple offerings, there is always price separation, which doesn't have to reflect the manufacturing costs at all.

they never had laser auto focus since pixel 2, they removed the spectral sensor

Yea , that's how I feel about most of Google's products tbh. They are different than the crowd and the a series has just been the best fr. My favorite back of a pixel was the 3 / 3a with that single camera setup and the not pink color 😩. Good thing I was able to get a nice case with my 5a . And on another note google makes the best cases for it's phones. No company comes close to that

Even with a matte finish or simple metal back, I do wish they had a wider range of colours to liven it up a bit. Sometimes their design choices don’t feel very considered and feels like they’re using excess stock of whatever colour thermoplastic they have left be it black or greenish black

Yupp! Stock android and matte black everything, simplicity at its core! Best for introverts who don't like flashy phones 😀

yup, i'm gonna keep using my 4a forever possible..

Actually I think the 4a 5G is still a better deal as after a year, it's price has gone down, probably to 399. So for 50 more, you get water resistance and a bigger battery from already good battery life? Doesn't seem like that much of an upgrade.

You still have unlimited storage saver quality photos on the 4a 5g. The 5a doesn’t have this to my knowledge being they said the 5 would be the last one.

4a's camera quality is the same but it would be the better focusing camera. How much of a difference? You would have to make/watch a comparison video to know that. Bigger battery is enough for me to go for 5a

I have to agree with that, even though I love the new Pixel 6 design the older Pixels settled on a very pleasant design that worked and wasn't fussy. I've used my Pixel 2 for so long because it just worked and I was very tempted to get a Pixel 5 or 5A before they quietly discontinued everything but the non 5G 4A in preparation for the Pixel 6 launch.

People kept assuming the worst because bad news is more entertaining, but it always felt obvious the pixel 5 was simply a place holder while they worked on a true ( hopefully) flagship

@@douglasrogers4675 If it has a 90hz display and it's 6.2" or below then it's an instant buy for me.

You're talking about same year-series. 4a and 5a are (and should be) different.

Ok first of all for your first and second about the iPhone and s series take is the 6 and 6s difference are the processor and mostly material that house their phone, since Apple got a controversy about the "bendgate", they only made the 6s just to make the phone less likely to bend easily like the 6 did and the only same thing Apple has in the X and Xs is the design there are still some changes in the phone like a more powerful process or bigger sensors on the the camera despite the same dual 12 megapixel cameras. Second of all for your third take about the 8 and the SE are those two are different lineups of the iPhones, 8 is a flagship and the SE is a midrange and still there are some changes with like the most obvious one the price from $699 to $399 and other changes are the 1GB extra ram and like the X and Xs is the processor. Im not entirely defending Apple in any means only the part you called out, I acknowledged that Apple has many problems with its products.But so are the Android companies have problems with their products. But the fact that you couldn't bear the criticism the Pixel 5a takes like the phone almost the same like the 4a and adding Apple that you probably hate to comparison that not even closer to what Marques described the Pixel 5a is just sad. The Pixel 5a on paper looks good, but the face that there's the 4a and its the same except the different name just makes me choose the 4a instead the 5a.

That is very true not much difference in iphones each year. I was a apple user for years. I gave my wife my iphone 11 pro max and got a pixel 4XL. I am happy other than the battery life is getting really bad.

@@f2pgamingcastleclashmore119 4a has literally one of the highest price to user experience ratios. Pixel 3a was pretty good tho, but for sure 4a was the best so far

It's because the A series has stuck with its mantra since its inception. Unlike the flagships where Google have no clue as to which direction to go. Each year they change the design language, the performance-ratio, add gimmicks and then remove them next generation and whatnot.

And I'm here for it.

If it was the regular 4a body that had that treatment, I would have loved this. But the 5G variant (and so the 5A) are too big. The 4A and 5 were so tiny in the hand it was so great.

If anything is is a stop gap phone. Everything including the kitchen sink is going into the Six with the new Tensor chip. Google didn't want to NOT have a new 5a this year but like soo many have been constrained by the chip shortage. In doing this they can have a new limited run of the "a" series using most of the same components from last year. In so doing making it cheaper. As was mentioned next year's 6a will more than likely have a tensor chip in it at a reduced price compared to the 6. So if you need a lower cost phone right now this 5a might be what you are looking for.
