#The Google Pixel 4 is $400 Today, Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy It – Review Geek

There’s nothing we love more than a good deal or discount, and at a glance, this half-priced Google Pixel 4 fits the bill. But a $400 Pixel 4 isn’t worth buying because the Pixel 4a, which is a much better phone, sells for just $350.

Wait, isn’t the Pixel 4a just a cheap version of the Pixel 4 flagship? That’s correct, but it’s still a better and more affordable phone. The regular Pixel 4 is plagued by weird problems, like a crappy battery life and the gimmicky Motion Sense system. Plus, the Pixel 4 doesn’t have a fingerprint reader, so you’re stuck using Android’s less-than-secure Face Unlock feature.

Google actually discontinued the Pixel 4 early in its lifecycle because public reception (and sales figures) were so lackluster. Plus, the company needed to make room for its Pixel 4a, a handset that addresses all of the Pixel 4’s problems. It has a good battery life, it has a fingerprint reader, and it even has the same primary camera as the flagship Pixel 4.

While the 4a doesn’t have wireless charging or a 90hz display, it’s a far better (and more affordable) phone than the flagship Pixel 4. Google also sells an upgraded Pixel 4a 5G for $500, which offers minor improvements over the standard 4a.
