Is it Worth Buying Google Pixel 4A?
Yes, Google Pixel 4A is worth buying smartphone because the phone has best camera setup, I mean, you won’t get camera like Pixel 4A in any budget smartphone in India. In short, if you want best cameras then Pixel 4A is the best option for you.
Also, Pixel 4A is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor which is good for normal use but if you’re a hard-core gamer then you should skip Pixel 4A and take a look at Asus ROG Phone 3.
Who Should Buy Google Pixel 4A?
Those people who want the best cameras in the budget segment and also want to experience pure stock UI but if you want to phone for just gaming then Pixel 4A is not for you.
Why Google Pixel 4A is priced at $349 (approx Rs 26,300)?
Google has used a plastic build and Snapdragon 730G processor on Pixel 4A. Old chipsets are not that expensive and plastic is way cheaper than metal build or glass unibody. Google has done some cost-cutting in some areas, that’s why Pixel 4A is priced at $349.
Conclusion
As I have said, Google Pixel 4A is not for everyone because the phone does has the best cameras but it doesn’t have the best processor. So if you want to play games like PUBG Mobile or COD Mobile then Pixel 4A is not the phone you’re looking for.
Update: If you want pure stock UI experience with three year guaranteed updates this is the best phone you can buy. Yes, the phone has Snapdragon 730G which not worth at 30k but you’re getting the best camera, clean UI. I would say, this is good option, if your budget is below 30k.
Google Pixel 4A Price and India launch date
Google Pixel 4A is coming to India on October 2020 through Flipkart. Yet there are no details on India price but I think Pixel 4A will be launch below 30k in India because OnePlus Nord is also available in India under 30k. So I think Google will be aggressive this time.
Pixel 4A is priced at $349 (approx Rs 26,300) for 6GB of Ram and 128GB storage and it’s available in Just Black Color option.
