Welcome
0:02
If I let me say Google Pixel 4A, it's kind of obviously see
0:11
And today I'll go over unboxing along with an overview of this phone
0:15
So without further to zero, let's get straight to it. So a box I would say fairly standard
0:21
It does have a good logo here. I guess you signify that this is an official pixel, not some kind of fake
0:29
a fake. Now you can also see these stats of the phone here, so 5.8 inch, 128 gigs. I love their
0:37
naming of the devices, so I believe they have only like two colors and the name is just perfect
0:46
just black. Now I'm not necessarily a fan of these ideology of like naming phones
0:55
the colors, for instance, like Aurora Blue or whatever. some companies want to call it so this is I guess Google's way of kind of making
1:05
fun of them saying just black which I find it kind of funny so let's pop it
1:12
open so in here we add some additional thickness to it I guess so the phone
1:18
doesn't get bumped up and as you can obviously see I think the case or something
1:23
was dropped as you can see it is kind of beat up in the corner
1:29
Now I also mentioned that the phone was already set up so I don't have to
1:37
As you can see that's kind of why it looks kind of a little bit trash here and that's why also there is a protection on the display
1:45
But there we go, so there's the phone itself. Then furthermore inside of here we got some Google booklet, such as instructions, SimEject tool and we'll not
1:58
really don't care about instructions or straight to the side. Then we got, interestingly, we got a Type C to Type C cable
2:08
So that's kind of nice. And we did also get a charger, which some companies decided that it's not important anymore
2:17
And let's see how quick this one is. So this is a 15-watt charger
2:23
Now, it's nothing special, I would say. it does extend now this isn't necessarily
2:30
this isn't really for my region we have the European standard I believe
2:38
which are just kind of like the two pins and not like these ones
2:42
so this won't work for me but so then we got also another nice
2:49
thing here I can actually pop it out This looks to be holding in there somehow
2:59
There we go. So this is a type A to type C conversion and if you're wondering what this will be used for
3:10
for instance you have a USB stick you can plug that into the device and then just straight
3:15
jam the stick in here and your phone should read it no problem
3:18
So just a nice way of including it. Now I'll mention not very many companies include those
3:24
For instance, Samsung I know was one of them, at least with their I believe Note 10 lineup
3:32
and then they just kind of dropped it. Not sure why, I really like the inclusion of it, but it might be not very cost effective
3:41
to them. That's why they just don't bother including them. So I'm just going to set that to the side neatly here just so we have it displayed what's
3:48
in the box. And honestly that's basically all we get in the box
3:52
Now going to the phone straight away, you can see there's the display
3:57
And, oops. So this is a 5.8 inch display, like I mentioned before
4:06
It is a 1080 by 20, 340 pixels. So basically full HD OLED, or HDR certified
4:13
Now, fortunately it's not HDR 10 plus, so it's a little bit of a shing
4:18
It's a little bit of a shing. HDR. Just a standard HDR can be fairly lackluster, I would say
4:28
Basically, the plus gets brighter and just looks a little bit better
4:31
when you go to HDR 10 plus, I mean. So this may not be the best experience, but still, it's OLED
4:39
so it should be fairly good, I would say. And outside of that, it has an 83.3% screen-to-body ratio
4:46
along with 443 pixels per inch. The display is fairly densely packed here and that is primarily due to the fact that this is a 5 inch display with a full HD resolution So overall a full HD resolution in this year or 2020 I recording that
5:03
already in the new one. But let's just say because this is a already device that has been out
5:10
for some time. In 2020, 1080p was a, and is basically the, I would say, bare minimum resolution
5:18
that almost every phone gets to. And yeah, so really nice. Now, unfortunately, this device doesn't have
5:25
or the display doesn't have any kind of high refresh rate. So that is a little bit of a missed opportunity here
5:31
Some of the even, like, mid-range devices or budget ones, came with a higher refresh rate
5:37
This is just a standard 60 hertz, so you won't be getting any of those better smooth animations, sadly
5:44
Now, also, when it comes onto the glass on the front, It is, I believe, a Gorilla Glass 3
5:50
And then we also have plastic back and plastic frame So the device won't be necessarily
5:55
The pinnacle of sturdiness and durability But still feels nice in hand when you grab it
6:03
It does feel, I would say, premium even though In a way, this is a mid-range phone
6:09
The price is about $350 That's about maybe $400 if you add in tacks
6:18
And as you can see, the back is fairly plain. It does mask out the fingerprint sensor fairly well
6:23
Now, another missed opportunity would be for the fingerprint sensor to be under the display
6:27
That's something that I already came to be used to, especially in 2020
6:32
It's kind of weird to see fingerprint sensors on the back. Now, this would add to the cost of the device, but then I've seen devices that cost like $200 with it
6:45
and also have an OLED display so oh it was also curved so I'm not sure why it
6:52
can't be done here but yeah now moving on to the next part of this device
6:59
it's gonna be the cameras now as you can clearly see there is not very many of
7:04
them I haven't tested them yet but from what I've seen already on the internet
7:10
Google does fairly well with just a limited amount of cameras they do
7:15
some really decent software for it so the cameras do perform really well even though they're
7:21
i would say mediocre at best at the sensors themselves so uh at the front of the device
7:31
we have an eight megapixel wide sensor shoots at 1080p 30 and then at the back if i flip it over
7:38
it's also a single sensor as you can see even though the housing for it is a little bit big for
7:44
for what it's housing. This is a 12.2 megapixel white sensor apparently
7:55
And this can shoot at 4K 30 or 1080p 3060, also 120
8:00
I believe this will be the slow motion though. Now let's actually pop the camera and see how that actually performs
8:08
So, there you go. This is going to be the back one
8:13
Now before I actually get into it I want to see if the settings are what I want it to be basically maxed out
8:22
So ratio Go into settings maybe here we will have a little bit more
8:28
So the resolution is set to highest. I guess there is not many settings. There's only single lens so I'm much
8:40
many settings there's only single lens so I'm not sure what I'm expecting here
8:44
so let's get our plenty here and just capture a photo here oh that is actually
8:55
really nice that I have not seen before so as you can see I did say there maybe
9:02
I'll move it like this you can see that circle this is basically where I tapped and if you keep keep watching it it basically keeps
9:10
on point, where whatever the object I selected, it is still in the focus, and the focus is following that object, no matter where I move the camera
9:20
So that is really nice. If you're wondering what I mean by this also, normal circumstances, when you tap on the screen, for instance, like so, the circle will stay in the same position of the screen
9:35
So, for instance, if it was here, I move it, it will be, for instance, in this case, there
9:40
but if I move it right now, you can see that it changes the position where it focused normally on other devices would still be in this place So really nice I do have to say that I really like this And we also I can see we have a couple slaters
9:59
I'm not sure what this one does. I just only dark parts of, okay, so
10:06
So I can shift contrast. And then there's the brightness. Now I did blow it up
10:13
So let's make it back into the reasonable levels. Now I really like how those sliders are really quickly accessible
10:24
Okay, so there's a single photo. And you can see that when I zoom it in, for a 12 megapixel lens
10:40
and this is an outstanding photo. standing photo. The colors of it..
10:46
See the brightness. It is basically maxed out. The colors are close. They seem a little bit off like there is a little bit more blue
11:01
tint to it rather than what I'm actually seeing. But it's still really close and the photo is really decent
11:11
So I can't really complain here. Let's also do a zoom. So this is times two zoom
11:19
Now this is going to be just an optical, I believe. There is no additional sensors here
11:28
so it just kind of crops in on the resolution that it's already capturing at
11:33
And again, let's just zoom that in and see how it came up. So obviously, it still does a really good job now
11:40
You can see some blurriness overally. Then it captures some things really well
11:48
For instance, like the single thread, which is a little bit weird
11:52
But still, the quality of this photo when you zoom it in is there
11:56
The phone does capture a lot of detail, even though it's using a only 12 megapixel sensor
12:02
So I cannot complain here. It is a really good camera. Now let's also go to the..
12:09
go to the front sensor and see how that performs. If I can actually figure, oh there we go, there's the flipover. Okay
12:26
So this is a photo of me or whatever. Now, even though this is, what is it, like eight megapixels, I have to say that the photo looks okay
12:37
There is detail in the background. Even though the lighting of the back is a little bit weird
12:44
also consider the fact that I was literally capturing with the light behind me
12:49
And it still did fairly decent job, but just lighting my face up and keeping it controlled
12:54
So really good here. So I have no problems with it. There is detail in it
13:03
although it does when you zoom in, become a little bit more. and become a little bit blurry, so I would say that's probably the fault of the 8 gravity
13:12
pixels rather than the software itself. The software here is just really good
13:17
Okay. So moving outside of the camera department, which, as you've seen, was fairly decent
13:25
I really liked it. The camera app itself was really nice, I have to say
13:29
The controls that it gives you are basically controls that you want to have on, well, quick access
13:35
and just the focus that just follows the subject, something that I didn't know I wanted
13:42
and now I do want it everywhere. But moving outside of that and further to the specifications of this device
13:51
this phone, like we already seen, has 128 gigs built-in storage, comes with 6 gigabytes of RAM
13:58
Snapdragon 730G, and outside of that, Now, if you're wondering what that means, it's basically a mid-range device in terms of specifications
14:12
The battery here is 3,140mm, which I would say for the size of this device, it is an okay size
14:22
The charger is only 15 watts. I would really like to see a faster charger than 15 watts, but still 15 is, I would say, okay-ish
14:32
especially considering that the device comes with stock Android, the newest one as always, from Google
14:39
and comes without any kind of additional bloatware So you do get I would say benefits and drawbacks here Benefit would be just the system itself and the Android
14:51
Here it's going to be running, I would say, something like the best it can
14:55
because it is literally made by the people that made the operating system
15:00
on almost every device and this is their phone. So you expect it to run just perfectly here
15:07
Now, moving on to something that I actually did find interesting, the device does have a headphone jack
15:16
So, let me like it and move it up. You can see there is the headphone jack, which it came as a surprise to me
15:24
Now there is basically nothing else here. At the bottom, as you can see, we have the charging port and then speakers
15:30
I believe this tiny little thing here is a microphone. And what else we got sim tray
15:37
Now this looks like it's only a sim tray because it does look fairly small
15:43
Let me pop it out and see if I am correct. So yep, there is only a single sim tray here
15:57
So if you're looking to expand the storage of this device, you're kind of out of luck here
16:03
the 200 and or not 200 the 128 gigabytes as the only variant and you cannot expand it further
16:12
even if you wanted to so that's a little bit of a shame and instead of that there's nothing
16:20
more I can say about this device it runs really well it has everything that you'd expect
16:24
it comes at a mid-range specifications along with a fairly I would say compelling
16:30
price tag of three hundred and fifty dollars with personally I'm not necessarily well versed in pixels so I thought that it's
16:41
gonna be somewhere around like $500 for this device and seeing it at 350 really
16:46
makes it nice now the phone in hand is as you can see fairly small it's not
16:52
too big but honestly I really like the size of it I'm not kind of the person
17:00
that wants to have the biggest phone even though the bigger display is nice. This phone really feels nice in the hand with the size that it comes in
17:08
It's fairly accessible to basically almost every corner. The fingerprint sensor does have a nice place for it
17:17
Although I would maybe like it a little bit higher, it might be kind of weird. Because when I hold the device in this way
17:24
so I can actually access way more of the device, be having my hand in the middle. My finger is a little bit high, as you can see
17:33
So other than that, I would probably like to have that fingerprint sensor overly under the display rather than behind the device
17:43
But I cannot complain at 350. This is a fairly compelling device because it's made by Google and their operating systems on it
17:53
there is no additional bloat where basically it is a stock of an Android as you get
17:59
as well as that you do basically get a majority of the newest updates to it
18:06
when Google makes a new Android version you're basically guaranteed to get an update to it
18:12
assuming your device isn't really outdated so again another benefit of it
18:18
and I basically I'm kind of surprised by this device it works really well I really like it
18:27
even though it's not necessarily a flagship of any sorts, it's not best at anything
18:37
It's just good at a lot of other things. The display is fine, the cameras are okay, the system is okay
18:46
The display lacks a refresh rate, but like I said, it's an OLED
18:50
Build quality, plastic, but feels really nice in hand. performance is okay
18:58
it runs smooth I don't have any problems with it it's not a flagship though so in certain cases
19:04
it might be a little bit slower so like I said the device is good at a lot of things
19:09
and not best up nothing and that's not really a bad bad thing here for $350
19:17
this is a phone that I would most certainly want to use on a daily
19:21
basis and I have no problem with it Now, that being said, if you found this very helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe, and thanks for watching
