With Pixel 4 prices dropping online, which would you get to replace a Pixel 2?
Pixel 4a at $350 or a Pixel 4 at $600-650

<p>What is more important to you, better camera or better battery life? If you choose battery life, you might be better off getting the 4a. For camera, the Pixel 4 because of the telephoto lens. It's a tough choice because Google outfitted the Pixel 4 with too small a battery.</p>

Suspect it’s close. Camera specs/software quality must be up, but speed will be hampered on the 4a if that matters. Pixel 2 doesn’t support astrophotography, though that’s a niche use case.
<p>Pixel 4a, and I may do the exact same thing this fall. But, I would always recommend waiting, if you can, until the 4a is on the street and we learn of any initial bugs/problems. I would never buy a new phone at launch unless the deal was amazing, and I haven't see any deals like that yet.</p>
