Google Pixel 4a specs: Upgrades in performance, display and battery
Google's Pixels never go overboard on specs, and that's particularly true with the "a" series phones. The Pixel 4a, like its predecessor, is about giving you a great all-around experience by being very selective about which specs and features are included. The 4a thankfully provides a healthy amount of memory and storage, with a nice-looking display and a slightly larger battery than the 3a. The cameras haven't appreciably changed, which isn't much of a surprise, but we also still have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Here's the complete spec sheet.

Google's affordable phone continues to deliver a great value.
It doesn't have a head-turning design, and is smaller than the competition, but the value is phenomenal. Good specs, great software and an incredible camera combine for just $350.
