Google Pixel 4a review: That ‘good phone’ feeling

At its core, there’s really only one reason to buy a Google Pixel phone – the camera. But it’s easy to argue that a fifty something thousand rupee phone should have no compromise when you’re discussing flagship-class Pixels. Cut that price down to thirty odd thousand and you have a much better argument.

That’s exactly what’s happening with the Pixel 4a. If you’re reading specs, the sole 12.2 megapixel sensor on the back doesn’t really impress. But Google, is and has always been, a software company. Which is why the Pixel 4a, like other Pixels before it, relies on top notch camera software to bring…well…top notch images. And I stress images, because Google still needs to up the ante on video recording.

The Pixel 4a produces more true to life colours than a OnePlus 8 and better low light photos than the iPhone SE (2020).
