Google's is now on sale from today. It had been available for pre-order for a while now, but it's now being made available for sale. Just as a refresher, it's a combination of the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 in terms of design and specs. It has the same full-screen display with a hole-punch display as both smaller phones, while it takes the screen size to 6.2-inches and keeps the same Snapdragon 765 and camera layout as the Pixel 5.

Otherwise, you're looking at $499 everywhere else, and $599 if you're shopping from for the 5G UW model.
, Android Central's Hayato Huseman concluded:
It's a great phone, and it's the most Pixel you can get from Google this year around. They may be a next year, but if you want the largest screen with the Pixel experience (the not included), you would be wise to take a look at the Pixel 4a 5G.
A Pixel for those who prefer larger phones. It keeps the camera and performance gains you'll find in the 5 while retaining the light weight plastic and low-price of the 4a.

I think it's one of the better phones you can buy for $500, with a flagship-tier camera, modern Android 11 software, and excellent battery life. But if you're looking to save money, as is often the case when you're considering a Pixel A device, the Pixel 4a seems like a better fit. If, on the other hand, you want all the flagship amenities you can get from Google, you should spend the extra $100-200 on the Pixel 5.
