Pixel 4a review: the best phone Google has made in years

Cut-price Google phone has great camera, screen, performance and battery life, in small and light body

The Pixel 4a is a return to form for Google's smartphone efforts: a lower-cost, mid-range phone that is high quality, long-lasting and fairly small, with a great camera.

The 349 Pixel 4a is very much an attempt to boil down a smartphone to only the essentials and then make them all work really well.
