which has led to some speculation about the upcoming 5g version of the pixel 4a maybe having more than just 5g added to it because it's going to be 150 more dollars compared to what we might expect from an upcoming flagship pixel device like a non-a variant there's no high refresh rate display and the hardware is quite pedestrian so even compared to the pixel 3 the pixel 4a is not a super fast performer it's 730g chipset is even slower than what you'd find in similar concept devices like the lg velvet and the oneplus nord it's got just six gigs of RAM and is only available with 128 gigs of storage even though there's no micro sd expansion it's got just a 3140 milliamp hour battery and even the camera which pixel devices are famous for is just a 12 megapixel single lens affair but what i'm expecting google to get right with this device is of course the little things the haptic feedback on this phone in spite of it being a mid-tier to entry-level device is really good i don't know that other than the iphone sc i have ever seen that before because that's the kind of little touch that manufacturers who focus too much on specs and not enough on experience tend to overlook another big one is software starting with display calibration this is something that google and apple both take very seriously whereas a lot of other smartphone brands are all about you know pumping up the vibrancy at the expense of true to life colors we actually shoot our videos at 18 by nine and you can see that google appears to have positioned their hole punch so that 16x9 content won't cut off but if you're watching videos that are in a more cinematic aspect ratio it looks like the default behavior is to just have a hole in your content something that just is always going to bother me unfortunately i will say though that if you had told me i was going to see an OLED display of this quality on a 350 mobile device just you know three short years ago i'd have told you you were freaking nuts wow this is even on adaptive mode but there's hardly any difference between natural and adaptive thank you google i would even leave this adaptive mode on it's really not bad so on the bottom you've got your type c port as well as speaker ports on the left you got a whole lot of not much other than a sim tray on the top hey you got a noise cancelling microphone and a headphone jack and then over on the right you got your lock button as well as your volume up and volume down quick double click there it's gonna launch the camera let's just take a couple quick snaps i'm just i'm idly curious man they just get it like so close to what your eye actually sees don't they that looks way too sharp to just be 12 megapixels you gotta love all their ai nonsense eh so far this is pixel exclusive although i wouldn't be too surprised to see it rolled out to others in the future but you can actually use the same ai nonsense that google uses to take a single lens shooter like this one and apply background bokeh in post and use that on your old photos as well like previous google pixel devices there's unlimited high quality now not unlimited quality but high quality storage for both photos and videos which i'll help a little bit at least with the fact that it's only got 128 gigs of storage on board i want to know if it has an amplified earpiece speaker that's a really big one for me introducing the products that we are building and there's a fair bit of device vibration it doesn't feel premium when you've got the volume turned up support for hdr10 hlg and dolby vision a little bit of distortion but it gets loud it's stereo it sounds not bad this thing is going to be popular you guys it's all about delivering you know that premium experience but selectively in the places where people actually care about it three years of committed software updates you get that pixel quality camera processing but you get it for 350 because you don't need like a you know crazy multi-camera setup a giant screen and all that other all that other fancy stuff there's no wireless charging you know nothing like that but it's responsive enough as long as you've never experienced a high refresh rate display i don't think you would look at this and go oh you you know 730g i simply cannot use it to you know call my acquaintances oh i don't have a sim in it so that's why i was trying to call you brandon if my brother or my aunt or whatever like not enthusiasts but obviously they want a device that like just freaking works was like hey what phone should i get this or the iphone se are looking pretty compelling the one area where this falls behind the sc is that i would expect apple especially given that they've got a flagship level soc in that thing to provide support for it for longer so it's going to come down to kind of how long you want to use your device for the iphone se is really a very compelling option right now actually manufacturers are starting to really bang that drum and you've got apple and google on board now maybe we're gonna see the end of the you know twelve hundred dollar phone or maybe we won't and they just will be a little bit better and you can pay a lot more i guess that's fine too you know what else is fine subscribing to ShortCircuit"}
