Its got a hardly shabby 6.34-inch OLED screen and a Snapdragon 765G chipset.
Theres also a 16-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 12-megapixel primary camera.
Also, like the 4a, the new model has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Both models have a fingerprint reader on the back and a 3.5mm headphone jack on top.
The camera system on the 5a is nearly identical to the Pixel 4a with 5G.
The 5a gets a slight upgrade in the display department.
But most users wont notice these tiny hardware changes.
Whats more important, notes Ryan, is the software thats loaded with the Pixel.
My personal favorites are the recorder app that transcribes in real-time and thenighttime photography features.
5G With Limits
Perhaps the biggest gotcha with the 5a is the limited support for 5G.
The latest Pixel allows connections to low-band 5G networks from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon.
Theoretically, this could mean that the 5a will get slower connection speeds in some situations.
Of course, the Pixel 5a has plenty of competition in the mid-range smartphone category.
If you lean towards Cupertino, Apple has you covered in the mid-range department with theApple iPhone SE 2020.
The model with 128GB of storage comes in at $449.
