Depends on what u use the phone for.. the 730g performance wise is comparable to 845 which is 2018 flagship.. If u compare like this the 855 is 1year ahead of 730g and won't "age" as fast ba..

On top of processor, I guess phones with the 855 would have better build quality and hardware and software as well..

It’s a very nice piece of kit. Hands on, it’s pleasant. The back is sort of a durable matt texture with a fairly grippy finish. The screen pops in your faces it’s bright and vibrant.

Camera wise, due to how it’s tethered, I couldn’t really test it, but first impression wise it’s like any pixel - though I note hat it takes some effort for it to focus and take close up macro shots.

Unprotected, the matte texture will wear down unevenly and make the phone look cheap.. in fact one reviewer already observed signs of wear after just 25 days. I'd be putting mine in a case for sure!

It also already has small areas that have been polished smooth by taking it in and out of my pocket all day.

Maybe is the color setting ?

Night mode wasn't on, we kept flipping the color modes. Then we decided to check out challenger 4a display set comparing 3 4a. Even the staff say the screen different. Most likely will be returning the unit or go CDTi

Anyone pre-ordered on or before 9th August from Challenger but have yet to receive any update on your preorder? :(

I am reading through the thread with envy for those who have already received their Pixel 4a.

Just received my 4a yesterday, and updated it to Android 11.

Not sure if this is to do with adaptive battery but I found after I charged whole night, the battery is only 90% charged, is this normal? Should I disabled it?

Thanks.

Doesn't sound right i feel.. maybe monitor and see if you can fully charge it? Maybe best to restart it.

Check with their Cs team, I got a reply the next day. I ordered mine on 10 Aug. No reason why you haven't received it.

Ask u all ah. Why pixel 4a the charging wire has 2 same heads? Like this, we can't use back our old chargers if we are a new Pixel customer.

Er...USB C is the way to go. Even some newer laptops now no longer have USB A ports. The newer iPad models also switched over to USB C ports.
