Upgrading from the Pixel 2 XL to the Pixel 4a means skipping several generations. This equates to getting a great overall performance boost. Typically, going from an XL model to a regular model means getting a smaller display. However, the Pixel 4a display is 5.8-inches and the Pixel 2 XL display is 6-inches. Due to the slimmer bezels and the hole-punch style camera on the Pixel 4a, the overall size also shrinks. The Pixel 4a measures in at 5.7 (H) by 2.7 (W), and in comparison, the Pixel 2 XL measures in at 6.2 (H) by 3.0 (W). Other highlights of the Pixel 4a display include a resolution of 2340 x 1080, HDR support, an always-on display, and a Gorilla Glass 3 cover glass. The Pixel 4a specs include 128GB of internal storage, a 3,140 mAh battery with fast charging, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a 12.2MP rear-facing camera. Otherwise, the Pixel 4a is powered by the Snapdragon 730G processor with Pixel Imprint, Titan M security module, and 6GB of RAM.
