L

ike Apple’s $400 iPhone SE

(go.pcworld.com/ifse), the $349

Google Pixel 4a isn’t a want phone,

it’s a need phone. Apple made

certain sacrifices with its budget iPhone to

keep the price low, and Google has done the

same with its own cut-rate Pixel, dropping

features like wireless charging, 90Hz Smooth

Display, Face Unlock, and a dual camera that

pushed the Pixel 4 XL to $900 (go.pcworld.

com/p4xl).

You might think you need those features,

but you probably don’t. You only want them.

With just 6GB of RAM and a 60Hz display, the

Pixel 4a still delivers an Android experience

that’s as smooth and speedy as any premium
