Just from seeing that name, some readers can probably predict exactly what this device is going to be: a lightweight, mediocre performer with excellent battery life. For comparison, the Spin 513 is largely competing with Mediatek and Intel Celeron machines. That’s pretty much what it is — but you get some other nice bonuses, too.

The 4A goes for more subdued color rendering, and the A52 5G’s images lack a little contrast in comparison. The Pixel 4A is still the better camera in good lighting, too, but the differences are more subjective here. So the A52 5G can’t beat the generation-old imaging tech in the 4A, but that might say more about the Pixel than anything else.
