If you know how to flash roms you definitely can keep it alive. Solid review brother.

I am still using pixel 4a5G and yes although it is outdated but the camera is still awesome, especially the night sight mode.

[dlsisson]

It also has a headphone jack. That's a must for me.

Bought it in 2023 refurb in very good condition for 85-95.00. Absolute steal! Android up to 14, free storage for life in Google cloud for photos and yes, the camera is
I look shredded in my pics lol

Still using my Pixel 4a 5g since Jan 2022! Replaced the screen due to water damage while riding in the rain. Aside from that everything still works fine, battery says 80% capacity but still feels like nothing changed. Camera is awesome as usual!

I have a 4a5g that I bought when it was new. I no longer use it, but the other day I fired it up and it received the July 2024 security patch, so it's still getting updates, just not as frequently. It does have the lock screen customizations that came with android 14 and many of the photo AI features in newer pixels, just not all of them. It does have a headphone jack and a physical fingerprint reader that I think new phones should still have. I used this phone for 3 years and I loved it! Would recommend to anyone wanting the pixel experience on a budget!

How do you not talk about the headphone jack on this? It's the single most missed feature that I've had on every Pixel since Google stopped including a jack. No I know the headphone jack isn't a big deal for many but it certainly sets the phone apart and might be the only reason that I would consider using one at this point.

If you can find it under 100 bucks I’d say sure it’s worth it.

[Saiarts_yt]

It's the only smartphone with a headphone jack, runs on usb c, excellent camera quality, and the external feature is like an iphone but made from google. Of course I would like to buy this phone again!

[GiftMunthali-hh]

That's the phone am using right now

[mgician]

The 4a 5g is one of the last phones (pixel 5) that has UNLIMITED PHOTO AND VIDEO STORAGE in Google One (in High Quality). It's one of the best features of the device

[oneTOU]

It's $150 brand new at woot right now!

[stayic]

Im still using my 4a 5g currently but plan to get the 8a when its released supposed to be announced may 14th, hopefully it be available same day like how the 7a was

[curvythinking]

It's the last pixel to get free high res backup to Google photos cloud.

[Ssurence]

I cant find a str8 answer anwhere. Does the pixel 4a 5g have fave

[gcdriver]

Mine already died. Screen stopped working more than a yearsago. Stick to the solids.

[thatsbenkc]

My unit only charged when it is turn off after android 14 update, anyone know how to fix this?

[MrMosoani]

I'm using it and it's problematic.

Android 14 destroyed the experience.

It doesn't scroll smoothly. It stops where your thumb stops.

It auto-flows the keyboard at random.

It doesn't swipe off apps when you press recent apps.

It re-registers the device on some apps.

Issues were raised last year and still the issue to this date exist.

My only chance is to flash ROMs. or buy Xiaomi or Realme.

[SheBi-yk]

My phone dead after 2 month when i buy worst phone i have evere used

[stevenshackelford]

Don't waste your money, trade-in value is only about 20 bucks on Amazon. It's been my experience at tablets and phones made by Google just don't add up to what a good quality product should be. Even the camera that I loved one time has been updated to death and changed for the worse!
