Coming from S20 Ultra to this, so I can get some nice pictures of baby. I love the phone, but it is quite sluggish. That’s just my opinion coming from the SD865, so its all relative
I'm impressed with the storage performance. Apps loading for first time pretty quick for a midrange phone.
Also, I get over 120Mbps on 4G at Tmobile sites that have been upgraded to 5G. The backhaul was likely upgraded, increasing chances of better 4G performance too. Though don't get anywhere near that on my S8. Why pay more for a 5G phone eating battery when 4G speeds can be this good on 5G sites.

4a scored about 275K on Antutu, which puts in in category of S9. Not slow but not high end. Also about same as original iPhone X in real world performance (outside CPU intensive apps).
coming from an iPhone XS Max, and the speed is fine. its not sluggish to me and response is immediate. i don't game though, just normal browsing and utility / info based apps.
i'm not convinced the USB version is 3.2 - i'm not seeing file transfer speeds anywhere close to that (maxing out at 350mb/s in my case)
Speeds are good coming from an Xperia XZ1. It seems quite optimized. Have yet to really have anything to complain about in that area.
Could anyone compare pixel 4a performance to some midrange? Of course it is not a gaming phone...

My previous two phones were the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL - The Pixel 4a is a substantial step up in every regard, as far as I'm concerned. I don't get too wrapped up in specs & am far more interested in day to day use.....
My 3Xl is way faster than my 4A. On Android 11. Just sayin

It's a matter of degrees. It's definitely noticably faster. If it's important to people and they want to upgrade to the 4A. It's not as fast as the 3XL

It could also be faster but the Pixel 3 and the 3 XL sucks a lot in multitasking, thanks to the poor 4 gb if ram. And I had the Pixel 3. Anyone, I have pre-ordered the 4a, let's hope they'll ship faster!

I have two devices an One Plus 7 Pro and the Pixel 4a can I tell a difference, sure but it is really not a show stopper. I can an do run the same Apps both devices as far I can tell they all open and and the user experience is the same. Swipe left to right etc... it maybe the OnePlus is a bit more responsive but if I did not own a 2019 flagship device I would never know. The speed, the response, user experience is great. Using the Pixel 4a has me thinking, do I really need the latest and great hardware so far the answer is no.

After using the 4a for a couple of days I came to the same conclusion vs the 7pro. Plus, I prefer the 4a's size, weight and rear fingerprint sensor.

The Pixel 4a is the lightest phone I owned it years, the size I am almost 60 eyes are not what they used to be but reading glasses on the small device is ok.
With the finger print sensor in the back, I hold the device and it is just natural to unlock the phone.
I know if I ran Speed Test the OnePlus 7pro would be faster, but I do not care at the end of the day when I am using the phone does it meet my requirements.

Given that I'm at the same level of "maturity", perhaps the 4a is the perfect "geezer" phone? Progressive lenses do the job for me. :laugh:
comming from pixel 2 and 4a is a bit faster
There are a few stutters here and there for me but nothing too crazy. I keep looking at the phone and being amazed at how damn good it is for the price. I also really prefer the plastic over glass. Though I would actually rather have aluminum. The chipset is perfectly capable to deliver useable performance. It just goes to show that most people really don't need the fastest phone in the world.
Gaming performance of Pixel 4A
How’s the gaming performance of pixel 4a.Can it run games like pubg ,fortnite , COD at 60 fps.Also how’s the heating and battery performance while gaming
Hey guys, do you reckon the SD730G + 6gb RAM will be decent for a couple years? I intend to keep the phone for 2-3 years and I typically just use it for browsing, reddit and youtube. No gaming outside some Among Us every now and then. I'm currently using a OP 3T, btw. I just want a small, snappy phone, the great camera is just an added bonus for me.

To me the task switching goes on without a lag between various kind of apps like mail clients, game emulators and internet browsing. The only one I've seen it's related to Nova Launcher's app drawer, but can be avoided setting Nova velocity options down by a couple of levels

I just purchased it from Amazon at $199. My current phone is a Moto G4 plus. I am plesently surprised with the speed even with multiple apps open. I'm not a gamer. It opens many apps faster than my G4.
So far I'm impressed. Big improvement over the honor 5X which I owned in the past.

great deal ,enjoy the phone
In day to day usage I have never experienced any lag or stuttering. Multitasking is also great. This is incredible considering its price.
My friend was kind enough to let me borrow his 6X for a review. Regarding speed, faster than 5X. I loved it because at such minimal price, it should not be overlooked.
Honor 6 x is Way better then redmo note 4, don't know why redmi note 4 has got this much popularity

That's okay.
No complaint whatsoever. Doesn't lag and still doing well after 10 months of usage.
Running well in nouget.
It it well behind the competition
Kirin soc is power efficient but it comes at the cost of performance
I face lags(i doubt emui for this) performance is snappy for most part but i am really unhappy with emui as it don't take full benefit of hardware
SD 625 gets 60 70 some people even achieving 80k but this phone just around 50k
So there is noticeable drop in performance compare to mi phones or sd 650/625 powered devices
Blazing awesome for this midrange device.

Nokia 8 has better geekbench 4 scores than pixel 2
Official Oreo release
That results good enough to get me on page 1 sorted by multicore when it's uploaded

HMD Global good job! Now just to unlock the bootloader! ;D
Yes I am loving this phone compared to my previous P9.
My issue is with the fingerprint sensor and location coming from a phone where it was on the back I find N8 very awkward and even too small.
Can't fault the performance.
Day to day use is very good. No lag or terrible performance. Switching between various apps is smooth and responsive. Even with heavy apps like Facebook, Skype calls and Playstore updating in the background, the phone works well without freezing or crashing.
Heavy games loads well and runs smoothly.
For its specs, its a very capable phone.
Will have to see how it holds up after 2 years...

Yes I agree the scanner is rather small but I actually prefer it being on the front of the phone.
As I normally press the home button to wake the device anyway it is just one fluid motion to pull out, and unlock the phone.
It was one of the reasons I steered away from the OnePlus 5T! That and I prefer dedicated hardware buttons for home, back and multi-tasking. Can't stand virtual buttons for this.

I'm in agreement with that. Hate software buttons and scanner on the back.
I prefer the back scanner, it was easier for me to press it with any finger when I picked up the phone.
I redid all of my fingerprints on the N8 and now I have better accuracy on the unlock which means my angle doesn't matter as much - most of the time I am able to use the phone with double tap anyway as I have smart devices / locations linked to it.
Very happy with the phone so far, performance is awesome and battery life excellent.

Yes! Compared to the Samsung S9, the Google Pixel 3 XL gives the impression that it is faster. I think this is because the native Android system used by Google Pixel 3 XL! At the same time, I played my friend's iPhone x before, but I feel that iphone x is faster. Recently I was thinking about whether I should buy an iPhone xs max.
pixel 3 xl isnt out yet...

Same here. Thought about the max but the limitations of iPhones are brutal. Eitherway , handsdown apple destroys Google in optimizations.

Fast enough in real life?
Of course, it´s a 845 Chip, blazing fast though
So I'm already noticing choppy animations sometimes when opening apps. This is really not good and unacceptable.
since /data uses F2FS
im curious to know if anyone has formatted it to EXT4 and observed a difference?
i remember using F2FS on the oneplus phones caused slowdowns and latency issues.

The animations were getting choppy, everytime I unlock the phone. I sent it back to Google for a replacement. If this issue presists, I'm just gonna return the phone.
Been using mine since day one, and it's kind of funny to me. I thought lately it was slowing down, but it's only because I'm used to it now. I played around with my Moto E4 Plus that I came from, and wow, that thing was a snail. I thought that phone was fast when I got it, and thought it was on par with much more expensive phones all the way up until I got the 3XL, but once I tried it after using the 3XL, it was night and day. I then went back to the 3XL, and boom, it was like the first day I turned it on. Blazing fast, and not one stutter or jank. It's amazing how using it 12 hours a day make you get used to the speed and smoothness. Try your old phone, and then come back. You won't take it for granted anymore like I did.

Only being able to compare it to the 835s of the Pixel 2 and the S8, this phone has been feeling fast for me. I make all the animations .5x so that helps too. Occasional app crashes but hoping that will get worked out with future updates.

Honesty it doesn't feel much, if any slower than a phone with an SD855. I'm sure it could be noticeable in some games, loading times, etc... But everyday usage it feels the same.
I stated before that the merging time when taking pictures would likely be reduced a bit if using an 855, but with them having to customize the 845 for it, I'd prefer a slower merge on a released phone versus a phone that never comes out because they're always trying to get the newest hardware configured for it.
Compared to my xz3 it seems smoother, opening apps faster
Ran 3dmark Sling Shot Extreme for Open GL 3 and Vulcan. Score 4582/4258. Comparison chart on site vs phone app is different. Also i couldn't upload my score, but that could have been because i turned off google app. Apparently i was the first to test this phone with 3dmark
*Edit: I guess you want to know how it works day to day... Overall better than my windows phone, but in general seems appropriately speedy in accomplishing tasks with little or no delay, based on my expectations of how this phone should respond.

It's the fastest phone I've ever had, but I've been out of the flagship market for some time. It's certainly not as fast as a new Iphone or a new flagship android, but I have yet to experience noticeable lag. Most things pop up instantly or close enough to instantly that it isn't significant. I suppose out of 10 I would rate it a 7-8. It's fast
Reviews keep telling me that it is a "budget phone" but I'm still trying to find the weakness in it. I've been using an iPhone xs Max for the last 6 months and I am experiencing no loss in speed or fluidity. This device is beyond impressive. It reminds me of when the original Moto X was released a few years ago. On the spec sheet it was supposed to underperform, yet it went head to head in every day use with the top flagship devices. I had the choice between the 3XL and the 3a XL and for the life of me, I couldn't find a reason to spend $420 more on the "premium version."
Upgraded from a samsung s7 edge.
I disabled digital wellbeing and doubled the animation speeds in developer options.
For all my day to day tasks this phone is way faster than my s7. Haven't tried any high gpu usage apps, since I don't really use those.
having both a 1+6 and 3aXL, I can notice a difference in apps loading, transition smoothness. that said, the 3a XL is no slouch and stomps the 1+6 in battery life.
Yearning for the Moto X

I am going to grab the 3a XL and your comment sealed it for me. I imported a Moto X into Australia and never regretted it. It was the perfect phone, ahead of its time with the Touchless control (Ok, google voice control) and the Active Display (Always on Display). Stock Android with a few extra features that made it stand out of the pack.

Same experience here plus more. The brilliance of the 3a is lost among those who only care about specs. It's light weight, excellent camera, fantastic battery life, Google assist is better than other Android devices, and it's just a pleasure to use. I'll be listing my xs max on swappa soon as it is currently collecting dust.
Some loading times are a little bit slower, but nothing that really causes me to stay away from this phone. I'm used to OnePlus 6T speeds, so I can see it. But for a "budget" device, I feel as though it doesn't get better than this! It feels like a flagship. That could obviously change in the future. But the optimization as it is is great!
So far my Pixel 3a has been just as fast and fluid as my OnePlus 5. I'm loving this phone! So happy to be back to a Google device.
For Mid Range Device, this just perfect
- Excellence Camera
- Just Google
- Pure Android Experience
I know there are slow down on Opening App, Install App this and there but for Mid Range this is Good

Yes. There are two things the 3a/3aXL does better.
First the audio jack.
Second the non-glass body. Why people want to buy super-fragile devices eludes me.
I may buy one myself soon. I am just looking in this forum today at how the ROM scene is going. Seems to be some activity there.
