Again thanks - this is really useful.
I totally agree with you on screen size / resolution / security etc.The absence of a headphone jack doesn't bother / affect me but I can see it's a must for some.
I didn't say in my original query but my main reason for considering a move from the Pixel ecosystem is battery life. From the outset my Pixel 2 barely lasted a day and is woeful now. I've learnt to work around it but it's the main reason for wanting to change phones.
The 4a doesn't seem to have addressed this so there's no real reason for me to buy it.
To be honest the more I've thought about it I've decided that I'm just going to get a new battery installed in the Pixel 2 and run it until there's a more compelling reason to change / Google bring our a phone that I can count on not dying at precisely the time you might want a mobile phone to work unless you've remembered to charge during the day / have a piwerbank with you i.e 2am trying to get a taxi home.

Thanks for this. Was your camera issue the blur / not focusing thing that came up when I googled it.
If so did you have any experience with OnePlus aftercare? It seems like they handled this pretty well and would actually be a plus for me if their after sales support is decent

I'd been waiting for this to be announced to replace my pixel 2.
I've stuck with the Nexus / pixel line since the Nexus 4 as they've seemed to have everything I want functionality wise at a decent price point but primarily for the pure Android / software updates.However in the meantime OnePlus have released the Nord which looks to be a better specced phone at around the same price point at the 4a https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jul/27/oneplus-nord-review-top-quality-phone-is-true-bargain-android-battery-camera
I'd be interested if anyone has gone from Pixel to OnePlus in how OxygenOS compared to pure Android and how any OnePlus users feel in general.

Old school electro - me gusta.
Hmm. The Guardian review suggests that the battery life on the 4a is actually pretty decent:

I've stuck myself on the waiting list and will most likely order it. This would be as total no brainer if Google had a decent trade in program along the lines of Samsung / Apple. I can't even work out whether they offer a trade in at all in the UK - frustrating.
