@@TheMrMobile Yes Luis, very true! I honestly refuse to watch Michael's reviews on my desktop computer because to me, they feel more like little movies or documentaries than just your standard tech reviews. So I instead ONLY watch them on my 55" Sony 4K TV, for the very same reasons Luis just described. It just doesn't feel right to watch them on a computer screen. Thank you for always going the extra mile, Micheal! 👌👌👌
Last year I bought a 4a. I like the design it reminds me of my favorite phone the LG G6 with fingerprint reader location and a headphone jack, yet it runs the latest version of Android (I'm on 12) and gets monthly updates. I guess you could say the a series is for people that take the boat rather than the helicopter, but are OK with that.
Yeah loved the G6. Can't believe LG STARTED the trend of tall displays back in 2017 and now it's a regular feature in phones. G6 was built like a tank!! Life's ain't Good afterall!!
@@aryav.1108 With the shortages happening, they might just decided to allocate most resources in Pixel 6's production since it's the product that they will push more since they invested a lot of money on the new chip.
Eh, OnePlus' thing was pushing the spec sheet to the max while keeping the price low (SoC, ram, storage), and lacked in camera. They also had good metal and glass builds. The Pixel a line is happy with keeping the specs low, design basic, but excelling in the camera department. The market for the OnePlus were phone enthusiasts, while the Pixel a lines can be recommended to a wider audience, (older people who aren't as tech savvy). Really the main thing they have in common is they're good phones for less than the flagships.
Not really I see Asus Zenfone lineup more in touch with what you've mentioned Flagship specs(high hz),nice software,value for money overall And guess what they still have the headphone jack and notification led!

@@The-Heart-Will-Testify enthusiasts don't buy camera phones to compete with a DSLR. They buy a good camera phone so they have a competent and reliable camera in their pockets at all times
A solid, no-nonsense phone for the average smartphone user who values quality and reliability above style and flair. For enthusiasts inclined to all of these, Google is really trying this year with the Pixel 6.
A great description, the only feature that is really.missing for some average users is wireless charging, but outside of that this is a steal for the price of the phone.
@Joe My understanding is that the difference between 60HZ to 90 is more noticeable than 90HZ to 120. The law of diminishing returns. Companies have to cut some corners so i wasn't expecting 120HZ but i wanted 90 at the very least. Of course priorities vary.
My brother bought a pixel 4a 5G and he’s been pretty happy with it. I think most people will be really satisfied with it. I can’t believe midrange phones have gotten so good ever since I upgraded to a flagship lol
I've been using the 4a base since release and I think for people that use their phone all the time it may not be the best option, but otherwise these phones cover all the bases decently enough. I owned OnePlus, HTC, and Samsung smartphones previously. It's worth the savings to me, but I definitely feel the compromises. It's difficult to beat what the OnePlus 1 through 5 offered for
I love your vlog reviews! That's how you really see a phone, with people handling it on the move and taking photos in real situations, not just carefully orchestrated shots!
So i have to admit, you pushed me far enough in the foldable world that I just preordered a Z Flip 3...I mean...have you seen the trade-in pricing? At least in Germany, its a deal you have to make
I feel like the A line should be replaced with the Nexus name. Then they have a top end premium phone with the Pixel, and a solid upper midrange with the Nexus.
Video never looked great on the pixels, it was decent, but never as great as the iPhones and Galaxy. Let's hope that the new chip and sensor in the Pixel 6/6 Pro deliver on what they promise.
Michael's voice delivery is just good. So soothing and smooth on how he delivers on his lines making him unique from the others. Been watching for years and Michael is one of my favorites. ❤️ Keep up the great work!

So we're talking an incremental update. Like apple's S models & OnePlus' T. Definitely looking at a pixel for upgrading mobile phone number two & for my mother to upgrade to later this year.
THANK YOU! It was so hard to find a review of this phone that didn’t just say “google, why?”. The camera is a big improvement for me since I’ve had my Pixel 3a for years and I don’t want to spend more than 500$ on an upgrade. So thanks for showing this very important aspect, it helped me a lot.
It's a pity that google aren't selling their hardware in more parts of the world. For such a big comapany their hardware marketing division is horrible. The only product they are selling officially out here is nest speaker.
I'm really thinking about this. I was hoping for the Pixel 6 but it turned out to a centimeter bigger than hoped. I simply do not want that big of a phone.
Got one, digging it. No more $1000+ phones for me. I game on PC. I split (80/20) photography between DSLRs and phone, so the 5A works. The phone is a communication and information device for me. I hope the A series continues as a "budget" model. I'm rooting for the 6, as I can't have A phones if they quit making them, and that tensor chip seems slick.
Fisher whey not let Google have it shine without the Samsung over shining everything.. There nothing to really choice for now but Samsung and Apple and that suck to the up most. I miss the old days of HTC, LG, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony, etc when there was varieties now it just Samsung and Apple. The Phone game Died in the U.S.. R.I.P
I just want a 5.8 inch option with expandable storage and a removable battery. Yes, it would still be water resistant. At least they've kept the Audio Jack...
Most YT influencers are doing overviews, that is specs and usage, not comparisons or more in-depth thoughts. This keeps the sponsors happy and fills commitments so they get the Pixel 6 when they arrive? It is fair enough as the 5a 5G is basically a 4a 5G so look at those reviews if you want more insight?
It's worth noting the "Subscribe and Save" program within Google Fi says the A line will stay. Early subscribers got the 4a and aren't sure for a replacement until the 6a is released.
I think if you passed or missed out on the Pixel 5 or the 4A5G and don't want to pay the Pixel 6 premium that's coming in a couple months this is a very good option. Great video as always Michael!
Honestly, great B Roll as usual. The 5a still has that quiet mic but video is improving YOY, which is good to see. I hope the P6 series has better video, but I am excited for the 6a to see if they will use Tensor with this plastic chassis (ala iPhone SE 2020) or a Dimensity chip. While I believe the Nord 2 is the best mid tier device for performance (with various Poco devices also in the conversation), I think this is an alternative if you're not a fan of this or Samsung (its A52s 5G is equally convincing and has a microSD slot). It really depends on software and camera in this price range.
The P6 will most certainly have better video, due not only to the Tensor chip in sure, but also having NEWER camera sensors will matter a lot as well. Couple that upgraded software and yes Tensor, and you've got clear improvement coming!
Mr. Mobile could you do another revisit of Surface Duo! Couldn't help but see that it was missing from the recent foldable videos. Love the content you put out!
For the first time since the W800i, I haven't rushed out to pre-order the latest flagship (Symbian, Android or otherwise) - and I don't know if that will change. I'm a bit burnt out on the phone tech race, it seems. I used to be driven by camera capabilities, which is why I even suffered with Nokia's N8 when I didn't have to, then went the Android route, but since picking up a Ricoh GRIII as a constant carry, I don't even care for the phone's camera chops any longer. Anyway, smashed my aging S10+ yesterday and discovered the 5a launched for pre-order at the same time - so I'd say the timing is pretty perfect. $300 after exchanging my old broken S10+. Pre-ordered yesterday.
Give Google Developers a break! They've got their hands full with the P6, which from what I've seen, will be THE new direct rival to iPhone and iOS now!
I believe Google pixel "A" series is the budget king. I continue to enjoy my 4a every day. I'm pretty curious seeing the 6a variant if that becomes a thing.
My Girlfriend has rocked the Google Pixel 4a 5G for the last 9 months and she’s loved it. It may not be the most exiting phone in the world, but it does all the things you need well. Like Michael said it’s certainly worth the money. Recommend last years one and if this is similar this one also.

If You're not heavy on gaming,this phone packs up everything a person could ever ask for from a phone . Great cameras, snappy performance, battery that just doesnt die
I have the Note 10+ and it's still just as great as when it was released 2yrs ago. I'm still getting all day battery life. I'm S. of Houston & not in a 5g area. My 4g LTE download speeds are 65-100Mbps. So that's fast for me. If I upgrade? It'll be to the Note 20 Ultra. Once you experience the Samsung QHD Display? You'll never go back. I don't care about refresh rates or cameras. Most all major phone manufacturers have great cameras
Smartphone tech is so good right now it's difficult to imagine a monumental leap in performance for the average user. New battery tech is about it IMHO, example full charge from dead in 10 minutes.
I 🤍 the opening Not made to speed up heart rate. I'm trying to decide because I have a 3 a and I don't want to buy 5 a and be bored and get something else in 3 months.
the main reason why companies build phones out of metal material is to transfer heat to the outside of the board. coating it will help to maintain the heat .
@@tamiwu0346 they are chock full of clutter, and you never know how long the updates will come for. Using Poco X3 and updates come once every 2 months so far, and I had to declutter the phone using computer software.
@@Mubashir_AK The best way for me was installing a custom rom lol. Many devs bought xiomi for the hardware and installed a pixel custom rom for the software. I owned a redmi note 6 pro and k20 and this is what i did to them
I like it when reviewers remember to comment on the haptic feedback of the phones. The iPhone has excellent haptic feedback and the pixel 3A was very nice too. I think Michael you said that the 4A was not good, and so I wonder how the 5a is.
when u said it gets warm/hot scares me cause my 4a 5G gets hot fast and i see the 5 doing the same now the 5a? i have the 4a 5G, after 10 mins of live streaming gets so hot that it turns off...but 3 models in with the same issue think im going have to pass and snag up a S21

Shame its not coming to the UK and EU
If You're not heavy on gaming,this phone packs up everything a person could ever ask for from a phone . Great cameras, snappy performance, battery that just doesnt die
I'm wanting one now.. The features are awesome!
I have the Note 10+ and it's still just as great as when it was released 2yrs ago. I'm still getting all day battery life. I'm S. of Houston & not in a 5g area. My 4g LTE download speeds are 65-100Mbps. So that's fast for me.
If I upgrade? It'll be to the Note 20 Ultra. Once you experience the Samsung QHD Display? You'll never go back. I don't care about refresh rates or cameras. Most all major phone manufacturers have great cameras
Smartphone tech is so good right now it's difficult to imagine a monumental leap in performance for the average user. New battery tech is about it IMHO, example full charge from dead in 10 minutes.
i love google phones not just for camera but for stock android
I 🤍 the opening Not made to speed up heart rate. I'm trying to decide because I have a 3 a and I don't want to buy 5 a and be bored and get something else in 3 months.
LOL be bored? A phone is a utility tool Not a damn toy
price that makes sense and features that are more than what most people need, seems like an easy recommendation
the main reason why companies build phones out of metal material is to transfer
heat to the outside of the board. coating it will help to maintain the heat .
As always, good first impression/review, nice video and liked as deserved
Hope the next Pixel have much wider availability. Google always wonder why their Pixel phones failed in sales yet they only focused in US and Canada.
They already failed in those core countries, ain't gonna do much better in other places with even more choices.
What matters to be is long battery and great phone call quality.
Best reviewer with storytelling techniques 💯👌
Man are we lucky in Europe where we get much more exciting options in this price range, many better.
We have nord here but thats about it, wish i could use some xiaomi phones here
@@tamiwu0346 they are chock full of clutter, and you never know how long the updates will come for. Using Poco X3 and updates come once every 2 months so far, and I had to declutter the phone using computer software.
@@Mubashir_AK The best way for me was installing a custom rom lol. Many devs bought xiomi for the hardware and installed a pixel custom rom for the software. I owned a redmi note 6 pro and k20 and this is what i did to them
I live above Singapore, and I do wish Google would just come up the Causeway and sell the 5a here....
@@Seatux i live in Malaysia, and i hope google also market their products here :3
I like it when reviewers remember to comment on the haptic feedback of the phones. The iPhone has excellent haptic feedback and the pixel 3A was very nice too. I think Michael you said that the 4A was not good, and so I wonder how the 5a is.
The battery life on the 5a sure looks promising. If only modern laptops were this efficient.
Trip videos was and is an amazing idea! And production as always is top notch!
I can't watch any of your videos without seeing your uncanny resemblance to Commander Will Riker from ST TNG. Great video as usual, Mr. Fisher.
Haha, true, but the more popular comparison is with Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr). 😁🤣
Are you planning on doing a Galaxy Watch 4 video?
Wow, the 5A video camera is awesome ! Much better than my other droids
Happy Wednesday Mr. Mobile!
The review I ve been waiting for.
This is a budget phone worth the attention !!!!!
Hey Furkaan remember me.
Long time no see.
You are so freaking talented, man
Micheal your videos are awesome and that is how I started to watch pocket now, although they came out a bit late than the others, beat that.
Spot on, an evolution of a great thing is still a great thing. I love the case.
2:48 ... magical disappearance and reappearance of the tower in the background... behind the persons head
Nice vid as usual. I doubt it's enough of a step up over my 4a5G which is still working great to warrant an upgrade.
when u said it gets warm/hot scares me cause my 4a 5G gets hot fast and i see the 5 doing the same now the 5a? i have the 4a 5G, after 10 mins of live streaming gets so hot that it turns off...but 3 models in with the same issue think im going have to pass and snag up a S21
I accidentally ordered a 5a 5g instead of a 5 yesterday so far I don't regret it going by the positive reviews
