Front is not great but no hesitation using for video chats and static captures. Those who relish ITM snaps are not going to be happy - especially if coming off a Galaxy, iPhone or similar. Even my modest Moto g7 leaves a better first impression.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] sk8223:
Back camera is really fun to use for stills, like the reviews claim, very decent point-and-shoot camera for us casuals. I'm using cstark's PXMod and I'm really liking it so far.

I find the images are all too warm in colour temp, especially compared to the P3 & P3a, in fact every other phone & camera I've tried. Anyon emanaged to get a good neutral white balance? I've tried camera mods but none are quite there
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] knjigo:
None of smartphones today make good natural picture. They are mostly oversharpen to look good on the small screen. And the other thing is they have wide angle camera which are not good for photographing people. The people faces have distortion. Most of people don't care but I do. They should make the software for camera that would correct this distortion automatically. Some of Olympus SLR camera had these feature.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tatung70:
I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure. If I do a hard reset of the device, AT&T Tilt with factory ROM, do I need to unlock the phone again?

Currently it is unlocked as I entered in a code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
No. The lock is independent from the OS state.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kimtyson:
Kilrah is correct. They are held in different memory spaces and are independent. You will lose all of your data and programs that you installed, though. Good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tatung70:
Thanks

I will try this, thanks.

I'm waiting for my preordered 4a to be shipped (Germany) and found that bad comment about the front camera. Is that true?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/igctay/comment/g2thp0o

Front camera: blurred/softened foreground and sharp/detailed background.

I'm not saying it's absolute trash or anything. It works and it can be okay if you find the right distance to hold the phone from your subjects, but it's pretty bad when you compare it to other Pixels not named with the "a" moniker.

---

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/igctay/comment/g2th30a

The Pixel 2 you can hold up at any angle and distance and click the shutter and everything is in focus. The 4a can't do that.

In terms of advertised specs, they're very similar. One difference is that the 4a has a larger aperture, which is good in terms of exposure—it can use faster shutter speeds, reducing blur due to camera shake in low lighting—but which also reduces the depth of field, exacerbating the limitations of a fixed-focus lens. I'm not sure this difference (f/2 vs f/2.4) is really enough to explain what people are seeing though.

[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DB126:
It's fine. Whomever posted that either had a bad device, was using the front camera in a challenging environment or has unrealistic expectations. Clear, focused selfie on my 4a .
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] MRDA1981:
The processing on the front-facing camera is really bad. Softened, blurry, and lacking in detail: a whole staircase down from my ZUK Z2 Pro w/ GCam, which looks great. Will probably return the phone if I can't find a software fix for this.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] AndroidLinuxMan:
Am not sure what folks are expecting out of a Front Facing Selfie Camera - I've had no issues with my Pixel 4a, Pixel XL, Nexus 6P, my 3 most recent smartphones. Just make sure the Face Retouching is Off in the Google Camera app. If you don't like that, try Open Camera.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] MRDA1981:
Did all of that.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DeathE@ter:
Its most probably a bad device. I have the same problem, blurry face, no details. My friend also has a pixel 4a. His front cam selfies are way better than mine. I have contacted google. They said they will contact me today.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] MRDA1981:
That's some really bad quality control from Google if so. I've already returned my device on account of this issue; hopefully Google can do right by you second time around.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DeathE@ter:
I hope so. I love and trust google. Today i talked to them via chat. After all the failed troubleshooting, they said they wud contact me after 1-2 days.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] Alaadragonfire:
Any updates? facing the same issue, front camera is really bad even in video recording it is out of focus :/
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DeathE@ter:
I have already contacted google support and provided them the relevant proofs. They said they wud get back to me in 1-2 days.

See this pic comparison taken from my pixel 4a and my friend's pixel 4a.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] Alaadragonfire:
Similar results with my phone as yours, I contacted Google and they have me the option to return mine and get a replacement. I'm just afraid I'll get a refurbished one.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DeathE@ter:
Yes i got mail from them. They say that they will replace it but the replacement device could be a new one or a refurbished one. I don't know why google is doing like this.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] MRDA1981:
Yes, so bad not even modded Google cameras could make it better. Made me decide to return the phone. I've seen better quality on even cheaper phones.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] DB126:
It's not horrible - although there may be sample-to-sample variation based on some posts. Front camera on my early build 4a is notably softer than rear camera but still shows fine detail such as individual facial hairs at 15-18". No hesitation using for video calls or casual selfies. That said, no where near iPhone XR/11 quality which I knew going in.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] nichinu:
I am having the same issue with the front camera. At first I thought this is normal as this is my first time with a pixel device. But seeing the reviews on YouTube on how good the camera is I was really surprised to see the very noticeable bluriness.

I bought I from Flipkart in india. What should I do? Should I contact Flipkart or goodle?
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] Katsusreturns:
Here is what i've noticed

I am in the same boat as many about the FFC being blurry, out of focus. What I have noticed however is if you quickly switch from rear camera to selfie, you will notice for a split second it's focused and detailed, and then goes blurry. That is with all the facial retouching turned off as well. The camera itself clearly has the capability of producing a clear photo, yet something within the way its processing is taking that away. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] mihai.alpha:
I have kindof the same feeling

I'm now at my 3rd replacement pixel 4a (the other two were unrelated to the front cam) and I've noticed the same blurriness on the front cam. Comparing it to previous selfies on the other two, my eyebrow hairs are actually visible compared to my current 4a. It might be the different screen protector (my current one covers the front camera), I'm going to try with another one, hopefully it will be better. But then I will have removed the oleophobic coating from my front camera, so it will get dirty af.

EDIT: yeah it isn't really the screen protector
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] lona808:
Happening on Pixel 3 XL Too

Hopping in here to say that this is not just Pixel 4a. This is also happening on my Pixel 3 XL when using the wide-angle selfie camera.

In telephoto mode, everything works great and is in focus. I can also change the focal point by tapping the screen. Swapping to the wide-angle lens you can immediately see the foreground go from sharp focus to a complete blur while the background becomes sharp/focused, and you can't change the focal point AT ALL. I did not have this issue at all until my camera updated to the new Google Camera 8.1.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] jericho246:
My front facing camera takes blurry selfies too. I guess it looks fine if you don't zoom in, but it's still kinda noticeable... A little disappointing.

The lack of HDMI out over the USB c port is the biggest feature I wish it had. If it did have it, I wouldn't have to worry about carrying around a laptop, and could just use it for everything. Instead, I'm stuck squinting at a small screen, unable to plug it in a TV or portable monitor. Even Iphones have this functionality.

Anyone with some sot screenshots?
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] AndroidLinuxMan:
If I charged it to 100% and then just used it normally, I'm sure I could get a full day from my Pixel 4a with no problem; but I usually try to keep my phone in the 20-80% range, never putting it at 100%. Also, with the quick charger, it's easy to just throw it on a charger for about 30 minutes and get another 50% of life. The exception to this rule is when I don't think I'll be able to charge the phone at all during the day, or maybe not very often. :)
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] andyscuff:
Anyone for any screen on time states?

Currently using pixel 3a xl and get about 8 hours.

Wonder if its worth the upgrade. Extra storage and ram would be but with the 3a xl the battery lasts me about two days which is great.
[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] Edmontonchef:
Only reason I didn't get the 3axl is it's more expensive than the 4a. I'd hold on to that puppy

[Google Pixel 4a Real Life Review] Zaxx32:
He's just relaying the general consensus re: best practice for battery longevity...it's best to not let your battery get too low b4 charging and only charge to 80% if u need the max possible battery lifetime. Imo that's for those who don't/can't upgrade often and need their phones to last 3-4+ years under heavy use. I try and get a new phone every 2 years so I charge to 90% and 'try' to charge b4 my batt saver activates at 15%.

Oh, my bad. Me too keep my phones for 3-4 years. And I also charge my phone till 80% only. With 100% full charge its a 2 day phone for me. I have a 3 year old iPhone XR and battery health still at 90%.

Hi Folks,

will i be able to buy any replacement battery covers for my mda compact 4 ?

or will i be able to the ones from the HTC Victor or the Version from the US Providers like Sprint ?

Though I like the shape of the mda the color of the back is extremely ugly(sort of greyish).

I wished it would look more like that

http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-diamond-comes-in-different-variant-28549

can i use those with my phone? 'cause i heard the back cover from the O2 xda are not compatible with the original htc covers.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mugglesquop:
looks very nice, i'd be interested in this too :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] htckaiseruser:
No. this doesnt do it for me. i like the whole diamond thing, this just looks like a normal phone,nothing special. The diamond just looks different,especially the back with its diamond shapes. Thats one of the design things i like most.

But i dont find the P3702 ugly:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] micha:
it looks like a different d pad. what do you guys think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jones23:
the scrolling wheel does stand out a bit. not even with the other buttons like on the diamond.

but can someone please answer my question and not discuss if they like the design or not ;)

by the way,htckaiseruser, the diamond looks better to me to, but the mda lies way better in the hand (is that only german saying?). the feel to is much better, you dont have all the fingerprints on the back and you can lie it down table, without it wabbelin back and forth
