Now, you can get yourself ready for the official October 19 release by picking the right protective gear for your new Pixel 4a 5G. To help you with this challenging task, we've made a list of best Google Pixel 4a 5G screen protectors. You can also check our Best Google Pixel 4a 5G cases article if you still wonder what case to get. But now it's screen protection time and before we get to the list there's an important question that needs to be answered.
Do Pixel 4a screen protectors fit the 4a 5G?
The short answer is: no. Well, the long one is also "no", because the two devices sport different display sizes. The Pixel 4a has a 5.8-inch OLED display while the 4a 5G sports a large 6.2-inch one. So, be extra careful when you shop for accessories, as you can easily miss the 5G in the title and end up with an unusable case or screen protector. This won't happen in our list, though. Here we go:
If you want the absolute best for your Pixel 4a 5G, you need the Glass Elite VisionGuard+ Pixel 4a 5G screen protector by ZAGG. It uses ion exchange tempered aluminosilicate glass to offer maximum durability and scratch-resistance. ZAGG uses its Kastus anti-microbial technology that kills up to 95% of human coronavirus and up to 99.9% of Staph and E. coli surface bacteria on your screen, and it's a welcomed feature in the current health situation.
