The Honest Review of Pixel 4a
BRAND NEW Google Pixel 4a 5G - $149.99
Google Pixel 4a still worth it for a first phone?
Will the pixel 4a drop in price?
Some sources are claiming that the smaller 4a will continue to be produced alongside the 5a 5G. While parts are available. So don't expect a price drop.
You could consider a lightly-used 4a from a reliable source such as Swappa for $280-ish. But I'd prefer a new unit with warranty when it's only $60 more.
More on reddit.comI'm looking at getting my son (12) his first phone. In Australia through Telstra, they have an offer called one number where if you have a compatible phone and watch combo you can get an e-sim for the watch so you don't have to have your phone with you to still receive calls. This service is compatible to some Apple, Samsung and Google Pixel products.
Apple and Samsung are a bit out of price range for first phone/watch combo, so have settled on the Pixel range. I can get a 4a and a Pixel LTE watch combo at around $600AUD for the two, (which is one hell of a Christmas pressie for the kid.) But am I wasting my money due to the age of the phone and that the EOL updates has passed, or would he realistically still get a good 2-3 years out of it (if he looked after it, of course.)
