The Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 weren’t exactly slouches when it came to processing power, but now a recent software update from Google has just given those phones a big boost in performance.
While Google’s April software patch for Pixel phones is technically listed as a security update, it actually contains a number of improvements such as upgraded image quality when snapping pics with select third-party camera apps, better support for VPNs, and bug fixes to prevent some Pixels from freezing during startup. However, the most important changes in this patch for Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 owners are new “performance optimizations for certain graphics-intensive apps and games.”
