  • Simply the best compact phone

  • Best value phone of 2020 for the price!

    This is the best software experience you can find in a mid-range Android phone period. There are plenty of phones with better specs in the price range, but they usually will have 1 or 2 glaring weaknesses. The Pixel 4a isn't exceptional at anything, but it's pretty much good at everything.

    Pros
    • Great OLED with single hole punch
    • Excellent haptic feedback
    • Smoothest Android software experience
    • Excellent battery life
    • Fast capacitive fingerprint sensor
    • Headphone jack
    Cons
    • Plastic
    • No telephoto or wide-angle camera

    Super high-end level camera

    Very good option for those looking for an excellent camera without spending so much on a cell phone. The photos are excellent compare them with those of a note20 ultra and an iPhone 12 pro Max and surprisingly it beat them. The screen is also good, good sound, very good performance, despite the processor that brings the bad, without a doubt, the battery performs a day with effort and that it does not bring wireless charging. In general, very satisfied as always when I use a pixel personally, they are my favorite mobiles along with the Samsung s line

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
