[Pixel 4a] Performance a Year Later

[rexxsor]

How is the performance a year on? Still recommended? Any concerns to highlight?

Thinking of getting my mom a Pixel 4a in the next couple of weeks, so would greatly appreciate some input.

Ended up going with OnePlus Nord 2.

The Pixel 4a was out of stock unfortunately.

How you like the Nord 2?

Still 2-3 more days until delivery (hopefully no delays).

I will put it through a heavy couple of days of use to see how it does before handing it over to my mom. Seems promising, at least on paper.

First impressions after a few hours of use, I am thoroughly impressed.

Now I understand the OnePlus hype a bit. Some very handy features on here (app lock, app clone) and Warp Charge is a beast.

Suddenly my aging Google Pixel 3 seems a tad bit sluggish... Lol

Software wise and overall feel of the OS, I still prefer Google "stock" Android.

Had Google not done anything different with the upcoming Pixel 6, I would definitely consider trying OnePlus next.

Anyway, will stop posting about OnePlus on this Pixel 4a thread. Just wanted to give an update.

Of course it's worth it a year later. Still one of the only somewhat compact (below 145mm height) well supported good overall phones out there.

Any phone not worth it a year later...probably wasn't worth it even at launch.

Been using a used one I got from Amazon in early June. Stands up well to an IPhone 12 MINI I got to replace my Key2LE. At least for my use case.
