Well everyone, Google actually went ahead and removed the Google Pixel 5 and the Google Pixel 4a from their stores. Now, this is really not a surprise at all, and this is actually not even that sad of a thing but I do want to kind of commemorate the Pixel 4a and the Pixel 5. To be honest, even though they were cheaper phones and in some ways downgrades from the previous generations, the 4a was a pretty good upgrade from the Pixel 3a, it was that budget tier phone Google needed, even though the Pixel 5 was a better phone than the 4a, I believe the Pixel 4a is still a better deal than the Google Pixel 5.

The Pixel 5 was also a good upgrade from the Pixel 4a, even though we didn’t have the craziest chipset of that time, it didn’t have the craziest amount of ram, or the craziest cameras, it was still a really good phone overall. I personally believe the only issue with these phones was that there was no XL version of these devices, the Pixel 3a had the Pixel 3a xl, the Pixel 4 had the Pixel 4 XL, I feel like it would have been nice to have a larger version of the Pixel 4a or the Pixel 5.
