It has already begun, we have already sold our freedom and in return the world becomes slightly less dangerous. Lifestyle changes like diet and spending time outside and ahem refusing to be stress and scared all the time that will keep you from getting sick.

Is it just me, or does the panorama mode simply not work on the 4a. The resolution is so much lower. I expect the same resolution from each stitched image, as I get from a normal capture. My normal capture files are 12mp and even a very wide pano seems to result in only a 6mp image! I always hold camera vertical for a pano to maximise vertical fov. But, each of my pano images has a max height of like 1600 pixels ! Should be well over double that... Please can you review this, or maybe suggest a setting I've missed?
Why don´t phones allow to adjust the resolution in which the picture is taken? I have the Gcam installed on my 7 pro and just like the 7 pro´s native camera software there are no custom resolution options. I would love for pictures to fit my native monitor resolution which also happens to be my tv resolution (2560x1440).
I just got my Pixel 4a and tried to turn on my HDR in the Camera mode. It was not there under the Flash Off, Adaptive, ON drop-down. Also HDR + Control settings is not in the Gear --> Advanced settings. My new Pixel came with Android 11 already installed. Does your version from 2 months ago have that feature and settings? My 2xl had that feature. Thanks.
@Saakshar Shah hey mental i just say about an Video quality only... In that videos he captured most of the video clip through Pixel 4a only ..so i say about video quality.... . which i seen through UA-cam only ...not says I'm seen through mobile...( hope u understand???) ..i know Pixel 4a launching only on October in India ...
Please help me out; I want to know the best phone ( both Flagship and midrange) which takes true natural colour pictures ( not necessarily a video)with a quality zoom too.
“Help Underrated Creators” Hey josh i just want you to know that you are very underrated and Android Authority will never be the same without you. You are one of my favorite tech youtuber along with @mrmobile 😊. Hope this will help you grow your channel, much love and keep hustling.
Josh, I was thinking about getting a Pixel 4a, but I have been regularly using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and I am wondering if I'm going to get a significant performance loss when I make the switch?
Hi Josh 😊 just wanna say that as a fellow filipino, I feel so happy to see you grow from making videos from Android Authority to having your own channel and that I know you'll reach that 1M Subs sooner or later.
What are the circumstances surrounding it overheating? After 30 minutes of picture-taking? 30 minutes of video? how hot was it outside? exposed to direct sunlight most of the time for however long the time was prior to overheating? That is a little concerning. I'd like to know more details surrounding the feature-sapping overheating issue so I can best judge how big of a deal it would be for me personally.
Great review, Mr. Vergara. Really useful information on the camera with the overheating part and the details on astro and night long exposures👍 Thank you.
Is it worth it now? As we ain't getting 5a here in India, I am considering this as it's the only option? What do you think ? How's front video cam in indoor conditions, Would you recommend for recording singing and guitar playing videos from front cam indoors, I mean in terms of video and audio quality. Also, lastly are you facing heating issues from moderate usage?
At 4:15 I see that blue dot that I too keep getting in scenes that includes a bright light source. Doesn't this really bother other people? Am returning my second pixel 4a because if it. Is there some fix?? Ps....yah, agreed...please people, respect others...please wear a mask.

How much time of continuous usage of camera forces the app to dial back on those features? I request you to replicate situation once and see if the general performance and multitasking is still manageable during this time. Also, pls try photo sphere/panaroma and comment on its usability as an alternative for wide angle camera in your full review.
Surprised to know that you have your own UA-cam channel. Big fan from the times Android Authority to Pocket Now podcast and now I will follow you here.... Funny I only discover this channel trough M.Mobile Giveaway... Took me that Long... But great find
@@jvtechtea I should also say I don't think it is better but it is convenient and no editing, the phone does a good job out of the camera! Now landscape stuff might change if I had a nice wide angle for my Canon but overall the Pixel is great for me. I don't do video so I'm sure the Canon would really shine there
1:17 I have a feeling that the camera algorithms for Pixel 3a and 4a are from diferent teams because the 3a did a better job on the "edge detection" when you were taking a selfie or even using the back camera. Why on earth the new phone would make a worse output than the old one? I am so disappointed. I mean look at the hair and finger at 1:22 and 1:55. I also saw this kind of failures in other channel's review.
That night shot in the bamboo path is insane. Why spend $1300 in a phone with 5 lens if you have this quality in a $350? Quick question, is the back finish similar to the Nexus 5?
Interesting that the phone will dial back some camera features when the temperature gets too high. The Pixel 4 had the Snapdragon 855 and the Neural Core to help with live HDR, highlight and shadow sliders and speed up to overall processing. The 4a needs to offload all that to just the 730g. TBH, I am glad that they decided to keep all those features even if it means some temperature management.
I think it's because it doesn't have the pixel visual core that other pixels have. So the processor is working OT but I'm sure if you slow down and take pictures and videos at a normal pace It shouldn't overheat.
How is the video camera performance in low lighting? Why do all the camera reviews neglect that bit and only talk about stillcamera at night? So annoying Please.
LOL! I have the bamboo skin on an iPhone 6s Plus. Currently waiting for my Pixel 4a to ship. I ordered it alongside the grip case but this time went with the gray carbon fiber skin which looks pretty minimalist and stealthy with the black of the case and phone. But the bamboo looks nice on it too.
I think it is to do with the lack of versatility, having a slightly better camera than other phones just does not cut the mustard if the other phones have multiple lenses giving the user choice and flexibility. Main cameras are now good enough for most consumers and added value in 2020 has come from periscope zoom and ultra-wide, adding so much to what we can now do on our phones. I could not imagine buying a single-lens rear camera in 2020 and having to live with it for 3-5 years just to save $150 or less! DxO Mark had the Pixel 4 camera at 93 so the 4a will be less. The best camera now is the Mi 10 Ultra at 142 for the camera, putting it far ahead of the 4a. It will be about £200 more than the Pixel 4a on release though we will not get the 4a till Oct so the Mi 10 Ultra will probably be less by then. Of course, the Mi 10 Ultra has 5g, 120Hz, 4500 mAh battery (Li-on with graphene, rather than LiPo on 4a), SD865, UFS 3.1, quad-camera, 120-watt charging, OLED, etc. Paying that extra £200 will over 5-years be an outstanding value as it beats the Pixel 4a in nearly every respect with most of the latest tech and as we can get these on a contract, the monthly differential over two years will be less than £10 a month; money well spent. There are many other options and it is really hard for me to look at the Pixel 4a and see anything other than marketing trumping value, the hype over features! If you are a Pixel superfan then do what you have to, but for the rest of us outside the US, there is so much more.
