Editorial report

Google Pixel 4a 6 GB / 128 GB / Japan technical sheet

The Google Pixel 4a suits buyers who want a compact, light phone and can accept a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. At 143 g, it weighs less than most of its peers, while its 3,140 mAh battery holds less charge than most. Its 18 W charging power is average.

The 5.81-inch OLED display packs 443 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of its time, with a resolution of 1080 × 2340 px. The AnTuTu result of 268,714 is above average. A Snapdragon 730G works with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with no expansion option.

The camera is above average overall. Its 1/2.55-inch main sensor is smaller than that of most phones launched around the same time, but its f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest. Optical image stabilization and 4K video recording are included. Connectivity is better than most phones of its time, with NFC, eSIM, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

With a NeoScore of 4.9, the Pixel 4a is a compact choice for buyers who value a sharp display, low weight, and optical stabilization, and are willing to accept modest battery capacity.
