Google spent a lot of time over the past few years coming up with new ways to impress us. In 2020, it impressed me simply by being less ambitious.

Google's best-ever phone fixes a lot of problems, and makes improvements, but still has inexplicably bad battery life and questionable value for the money considering its specs.

Let the enthusiasts and the spec-hounds keep chasing the bleeding edge; the rest of us can get along perfectly fine with the Pixel 4a, which checks all the right boxes at the right price.

Rugged protection, a good design, and a slim profile. That's what you get with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and as such, it's one of the better cases you can buy for the Pixel 4.
