Google Pixel 4a proves elasticity with bending and durability tests

Date:

The Pixel 4a 5G probably takes the same design and durability clues as the 4G LTE-only variant. Hopefully the larger screen size (5.8 vs 6.2 inches) won’t be a factor in the bend test. There are additional antennas for millimeter waves, but after adjusting components such as the dual camera system, the internal layout is probably more like a Pixel 4a than a 5.
