    Nice Phone, Great Price

    After reading all the attributes of this particular phone, larger screen, bigger battery, headphone jack, I decided to get it. I couldn't find one through Verizon, and this one was advertised as a Verizon phone, so I ordered. This is a really nice phone. I was able to set it up easily through the on screen instructions. I had to go to the local Verizon store to get a sim card and to switch my account from my old S9. The salesperson was highly incensed that I didn't buy the phone from Verizon, and informed me that wi-fi calling would not be available. This was bad news since I don't have service at my home in the mountains. So I dug out my old network extender and plugged it in, but it couldn't find a signal. I finally got in touch with a live individual at Verizon tech support, which was practically impossible, but she was able to link the network extender to my phone and everything seems to be working. To be on the safe side I got the Google Voice app and selected another number that works with wi-fi. So I'm all set, getting used to the phone. Everything is working great, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to not having a back button. Everything else, display features, camera, no Samsung bloatware, no Verizon payment plan, great price; super!

    Battery life! Processing speed! 5G if you care

    GOOD: Battery lasts almost 2 days even with use, seems to feel just as quick as the flagship 3xl I replaced, even though the old 3xl technically has better specs across the board. OK: Still kind of expensive, but if you're in the Pixel eco system, it clones your old phone almost perfectly. I was impressed. It is not water resistant, and does not have wireless charging (both of which I ended up using by accident while my 3xl lasted) and I prefer the Google XL series sizes for my hand and my eyes. 5G: Haven't petitioned my carrier for a 5G sim card because I flat just don't care. As you go up in frequency and speed, you go down in building penetration and range and I barely get 4G in my house now, and I remember standing outside to get 4G when it was just starting out, and it really never saved my life. 5G is basically adding a full color page to a newspaper; its nice when you see it, but its not always there and you don't care if its gone.

    Great phone, snappy and excellent camera and batteries

    Most people don't understand good value. Everyone wants the latest and greatest with technology like it's going to magically fill the void in your life. This pixel checks all the boxes for me. Great cameras to take amazing pictures in any light. Googles image processing using AI can't be matched. The phone is fast, comfortable, lightweight. Processor is snappy enough for me. Battey life is incredible. I picked up this phone practically brand new for $360 that was a great deal. I use Mint mobile and this device is very quick on their service, call quality is clear. Very happy with this device but I'm not the normal person I don't need all the bells and whistles. Just want a phone that takes great pictures of my family everyday and on vacation and isn't attached to a phone charger 24/7 (apple). Had a pixel Xl and pixel 4a before this. Take some advice the latest and greatest isn't worth it. The only thing worth monthly payments is a mortgage.

    Bought Another - Great Value and Performance

    Replaced a Pixel 2 with this 4a 5G. Of course, everything is vastly improved as expected - the Pixel 2 was great by itself too -- but, this unit goes to a new level. I like that the size is not huge but the screen fills out the full-frame so you get big view but with a reasonable size and weight. Pictures and videos are superb even in nighttime conditions. It is running Android 12 so there are many nice bells and whistles in there. I purchased in "Used" condition and it looks new and runs like new but at nice discount to new price - so total win there too! Bought 2 actually and both are great.

    Everything you need

    It's having a hard time competing with Chinese offerings by Xiaomi, Huawei and Realme, however the superb camera stabilization and quality with the security of the Titan M chip make it the perfect choice for the Android users that prefer security and functionality over flashier designs and cheaper hardware. Pros:Clear and loud stereo sound, audio jack, decent battery, 60p 4k video capture with cinematic optical image stabilization and a large amoled screen, this is a true workhorse in this price range. Cons: pixel density could be better for the size, front camera isn't wide enough, hard to disassemble for repairs, scratchy glass requires protection, price, no led indicators

    A+++ affordable phone

    Super happy with this phone. It's my second Pixel and my 2XL only recently began to show signs of wear (short battery charge, tended to run hot) after 4 years. I love the way the product works and the size is perfect for me - comfortable to read on the screen, not too heavy and still fits in pockets. It's also fast to load web pages and apps and has a great camera. I'm very pleased, and feel I made the best choice for my needs and the price point. Get one while you can, they are a great investment in a handheld device.

    Great value for a mid range smartphone!

    Spent a long time looking for a good budget phone that takes great pictures and battery life. I found it with this phone! Based on all of the online reviews and especially Wired magazine, it meets all my needs. I am very happy with it. I have always been an Android phone user - many try convincing me to go Apple - but I remain an Android fan. This phone is a huge upgrade from my LG6 and has some features that are comparable to iPhone. I chose the 5G so I am ready for full roll out - highly recommend it!

    Best smartphone I've owned so far

    I was hesitant to buy this at first because compared to similar ones advertised, this had the lowest price advertised, so I thought it would have some cosmetic defects and the battery won't be that good. But here it is and I love it. Doesn't look like used or refurbished, more like a new device; no dents nor scratches and has long battery life. The phone is lightweight and fast with lots of great features; much better than any other phone I've owned so far. I've only had it for a week and I'm loving it.

    Pixel 5G goodness for less $$

    This was a present for my nephew, I have a Pixel 6. He absolutely loves it, says it's super fast and was blown away by the call screening features...also many features (like nearby photo sharing) existed on other phones he's had but the pixel made them easy to use! The screen is great, and the 5G speed is fantastic (even compared to his last 5G phone -- an LG). This is a great device, and after using Samsung, LG and even OnePlus...Pixel is the way to go. The software really is worth it...

    Google Pixel 4a5G

    The Google Pixel 4a5G is lightweight, has a large screen and an EXCELLENT battery life - which I need because I travel extensively for work. It charges quickly and has a great camera and of course it all backs up seamlessly to my Google drive.
