Upgrading from a Pixel 3 XL to a Pixel 4a will bring some solid improvements. To begin with, you’ll be getting a smaller phone. The Pixel 4a measures in at 5.7 (H) by 2.8 (W) and has a 5.8-inch display with slim bezels all around. The Pixel 3a XL has larger bezels, which results in a larger overall size. The 3a XL has a 6-inch display and measurements of 6.3 (H) by 3.0 (W). The Pixel 4a display also adds HDR support and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 glass cover. Both models support fast charging, however, the battery on the Pixel 4a is smaller at 3,140 mAh, versus the 3,700 mAh on the Pixel 3a XL. Both models also have similar setups on the front and rear camera, but the Pixel 4a adds camera features such as Live HDR+ and Dual Exposure controls. The other improvements include going from 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage on the Pixel 3a XL to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage on the Pixel 4a.
