> That said, the Pixel line of phones isn't known for having long lasting battery. A feature that I've found to be indispensable is wireless charging. I just rest my Pixel 4 on a vertical charging base throughout the day. Otherwise, I'd have to have to constantly plug/unplug the phone throughout the day to charge, and that'd be a huge regression in the user experience.

Note that the 4a actually has a larger battery than the 4, per the article, so this complaint may well be addressed by this device.

About 12% larger capacity. Not enough of an improvement to eliminate this problem.

The 4a also uses a lower power SOC and a 60hz screen, which is likely to make a more substantial difference.

60hz screen at lower resolution as well.
