Similar to the Pixel 2 to Pixel 4a upgrade path, upgrading from the Pixel 2 to the Pixel 4a 5G means a three-year upgrade cycle. You will be getting a solid boost in terms of performance and also in terms of looks. The Pixel 4a 5G, as the name suggests, also has support for 5G networks. The Pixel 4a 5G features a 6.2-inch (2340 x 1080) FHD+ OLED display and measures in at 6.1 (H) by 2.9 (W). In comparison, the Pixel 2 has a 5-inch display and measurements of 5.7 (H) by 2.7 (W). Essentially, you would be getting a much larger display, with only a modest increase in overall size, which is due in part to the slimmer bezels and the use of the 8MP hole-punch style front-facing camera. The Pixel 4a 5G also has a dual-camera setup on the back with a 12.2MP (f/1.7) dual-pixel and 16MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera. Other specs for the Pixel 4a 5G include a Snapdragon 765G processor with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3,885 mAh battery with fast-charging capabilities.
