Google Pixel 4a specifications and features
We can say the most compelling reason to buy a Google Pixel is because of clean Android experience and Pixel’s camera. Pixel devices tend to get all major and security updates first. The OS is bloat free, smooth and less cluttered than other versions of Android. Also despite having a single main camera module Pixel’s camera is capable of beating multiple camera setups of flagship devices because of the unique software algorithm Google puts in their Pixel devices. The night modes clicks specially are really impressive.
For Pixel 4a, Google has promised 3 years of software updates. It packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage to accommodate most users. The processor used here is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730G, which is a fast enough processor of day-to-day use.

The battery can be charged using an 18W fast charging adapter.
Pixel 4a rear camera is a single 12.2MP camera with flash housed in rounded corner square, while 12MP camera on the front.
The device body is made of plastic with the fingerprint sensor on the back. There is a room for 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers. On the back it houses the main single camera module along with flash.
On the front there is a 5.8-inch 1080p display with a hole-punch camera on the top-left side of the screen. For the first time Google has implemented a hole-punch display. This has allowed the screen to go closer to the edges. The screen is an OLED display which is great to have at this price point.
