 Hey guys, Thundee here and welcome to my review of the Pixel 4a after month. Now this is the device that could and can. That's how I actually determined because the Pixel line devices are one that I haven't been fully fond of. Now Pixel's got great cameras and the main Pixel line has had some solid camera improvements that has shocked everyone but a lot of things in the devices have been left kind of just middle of the road. Now I've always liked the A line and with the Pixel 4a this year I think you know Google has really found their stride with their devices. Now when it comes to budget smartphones 2020 has been that year where a lot of people have been looking for a smartphone that isn't expensive but one that will actually fit their needs. So we started off the year with the iPhone SE and everyone was so excited about that device and you know we said look we want something on the Android ecosystem then came over the OnePlus Nord which really hit the stride especially with high performance right in terms of gaming and things like that but looking at the Pixel 4a as it stacks up to both devices and I'm not necessarily comparing them in this video you can see why this device really takes its own place. So you've got a smartphone that comes with a 5.8 inch display 1080p just about the right kind of size so you're holding your hands it feels comfortable now granted you're looking at this video and it looks really small in my hands I've got larger hands but I still find it comfortable using the device. I think the look is really nice and symmetric and then you also look at the back as well I've got it in black and it looks really nice and simple. Fingerprint sensor location is correct the size is solid built-in stereo speakers you've got fast charging in 18 watts I can list the specs over and over again so you've got enough features to last you a lifetime. Now you know battery life is one thing and I think the battery life is actually solid it's a 31 40 milliamp battery and I'll say I can do a whole day with it not as a power user but as a regular user in that sense now this is of course is running latest version Android at least Android 10 on here very smooth really nice seamless operating functionality powered by the Snapdragon 730G which you would think okay in 2020 this is not a superpower device right but when you use this on a daily basis you find that it fits those needs and that's where I think Google has done the best with their software optimization on all the piece of hardware right to give you something that works well and is easy to use those are the main parts now the biggest thing of course for the Pixel 4a is the camera you're bringing the camera technology from the main pixel line down to something cheaper at 350 bucks and what do you get well daytime you've got lovely photos they take some really good photos portraits come up well the ability to snap photos that look really good that you can share with family or friends and then you can say I'm gonna be 350 bucks for this thing right here that is truly awesome now we move to nighttime photography as well low light capture with pixel software is phenomenal I mean every year Google tends to shock us with what they do with your software especially with just a single camera module whether you're doing telephoto you're doing low light shots it is really nice to see how well the images come out now it's always interesting to see how well those kind of that software trick will do with a better sensor but I think Google has showcased how well they can optimize something so that you spend $350 you take photos compared to your friends or have say iPhones or Galaxy they're going wow that looks pretty nice that's what you get off this device so a lot of things though I do like now when it comes to audio and speakers it's quite surprising it's called stereo speakers and the way it sounds the audio quality itself is really good I like you to take a listen here very much my very good friends you know guys back and I'm here to give you my same to how I review hope the Galaxy Z42 or Z4 if you're from London so yeah audio is great it sounds really nice and you've got a device that fits almost all your needs now having a device like this is is great and one thing you should do also is protect your device right and which is why I always use cases from our partners in this video speaking I've been using them for a long time and I love their cases especially the thin fit case for me on this really matches the color and also the texture of the pixel for so it feels like I'm actually holding the the device itself now another case I do like is the a tough armor case it's a bit more rugged so if you want something with better protection all around and keeping your device secure with some nice cushions around the case itself I think that's something that you definitely would like now what's interesting to speak and also has cases for the pixel buds which I found out and I thought that was really cool I actually like this case because of the color matching with black and white with pixel buds so that's something you know it you can also add to your collection if you're looking to protect your pixel buds or at least keep them safe because you know how we are with wireless buds now speaking of cases though another benefit of having a case on your device is while you are gaming now you guys know I like to do a lot of gaming on the channel and gaming this device is pretty good it's actually good for whether the device is but it does give you some really high temperatures that's something you're going to know you're going to get over 100 degrees like 104 degrees so this is not built for gaming doesn't have any special kind of cooling so when you're talking about benchmarks on this device it's actually pretty decent with the settings we had call of duty a mobile 59 frames per second 59% fes stability you're looking at CPU usage of 70% GPU wasn't shown about a gig of RAM now PUBG mobile ran at 43 per second which is much lower than we would like and it used about 839 megabits of RAM so RAM usage was low on that Fortnight and on the hand ran at 27 frames per second Fortnight runs at 30 and most Android devices max and use about 1.7 gigs of RAM which is quite high now stadia which of course is Google Street game streaming service and I actually got some really good stability this time playing stadia so that's actually nice 59 frames per second so 60 frames which is good because you expect that there's no CPU GPU usage and used about about 863 megabits of RAM so performance wise gaming you're going to get okay performance for you to actually play the games you want to play whether it's the call of duty PUBG Fortnight those kind of games just don't expect the highest level of graphics but you can definitely stream games on this whether it's stadia or you know Xbox game pass you can use those services on here to play and I think that really sets the tone for what this device is this is the everyday smartphone and the reason why that's in the title is that this is a smartphone that you can give to anyone and they can use right away and there's just no complexities to it the simplicity with the software there is simplicity with the use of use of camera and this is a very nice simplicity with design it's got almost all the things you need in the smartphone for you to carry day to day and I think a lot of people like that so if you guys have any questions any comments about the Pixel 4a if you're looking to pick one up I say yes I definitely recommend this device to pick up and you can use our link down below and also if you want to pick up any of the cases I mentioned definitely go ahead and use them otherwise guys don't forget to like share definitely subscribe to the channel and I can't wait to see more from the Google Pixel team I'm quite impressed with this device I've been on the side where I haven't liked Pixel devices in the past as much I've had great features but I think the Pixel 4a has put me on that camp of saying Google is finally here so thank you very much guys and always enjoy your entertainment
