The Pixel 4a skips out on the flagship 'features' of the Pixel 4 to offer the essentials in an affordable package.

The Pixel 4a 5G starts at $499 and features the same Snapdragon 765G processor as the $700 Pixel 5.

Here are 10 cool things that the Pixel 4a can do. This includes software features, cool camera tricks, and some lesser-known or hidden features on the Pixel 4a.

Google Killer camera feature — Night Sight mode has been one of the best reasons to own a Pixel and Google has made it even better on the Pixel 5 and 4a 5G with Night Sight for portrait mode.

The Pixel 4a 5G has 6GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB internal storage. Under the hood is a Google-designed Titan M security module that works with the "Pixel Imprint" fingerprint scanner.

For those frustrated consumers patiently waiting for Google’s next mid-range phone - the Pixel 4a - to land, OnePlus' new “Nord” phone must be tempting. Google has its work cut out.

The Google Pixel 4a is the new way to get the best Android has to offer, without paying a flagship price. But is the Pixel 4 still a better choice?

The 4A lacks some features that were in the Pixel 4 — such as wireless charging and a face scanner for unlocking the phone. That’s not a dealbreaker for a device this cheap.

The price, too, will obviously be a lot lower than the flagship Pixel 4 range. These two features are a given. The question is: what else can Google do to make the 4a a more attractive purchase?
