#SGGQA 191: Mrs. GadgetGuy and her New Pixel 4a 5G

We tech reviewers talk a LOT about “average consumers”.
My wife Marie is a tech savvy individual, but she isn’t “into” tech like I am. Her LG G7 was getting a bit long in the tooth, and we really struggled to find her a new phone.

Balancing features against some compromises, we eventually arrived on a Pixel 4a 5G. She’s been using the phone for a couple months now, and is ready to share some thoughts!
