Better than expected
Let me start by saying that I’ve never used an iPhone. I have had a couple of the Galaxy S series phones but that was several years back (3&4). I have been buying unlocked phones online for the last few purchases.I really like the Motorola/Lenovo line of unlocked mid-level hardware phones. The phones work well but the hardware was uninspiring.My last three unlocked phones were an Essential PH-1, Honor 7+ and a OnePlus 6T. Of those 3 it’s hard to beat the 6T. Hardware is premium and the phone works well. The Essential phone felt great but the camera was average. I dropped the phone a few times and although the screen never cracked (it was in a case) the digitizer stopped responding. So, this was my replacement option.I really like this phone. The camera is pretty amazing for a 300 dollar phone. I challenge anyone to show me a phone at this price point with a better camera experience. I will say that I’ve noticed a ‘processing’ message in the bottom left corner of the camera interface when taking pictures under less than ideal conditions. I can only assume that is the software processing the images through whatever algorithm the Google engineers have come up with to create such strong results from a single camera. I assume that the top line Pixel phones with their higher end processors will be a little quicker in performing this function. I haven’t found it to be an issue though.Although this is the cheaper of the pixel line of phones, it actually feels pretty solid. I’ll try to update the review with a couple of non personal photos soon.I find the battery life to be adequate. It’s not the best but I feel like it’s good enough.If you want a phone with a pure Android experience, solid financial value and an amazing camera experience, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal than the Pixel 3A.

I have a full Pixel 3 XL for work, and was excited for the 3a XL hit the market. Highly Recommended
After several years of growing tired of my Samsung Galaxy work phones getting slower and more bloated with the Samsung UI, I was convinced by coworkers to go to a Pixel. I got the Pixel 3 XL and instantly loved it. Seconds, rather than minutes, to boot. A fast UI experience. Frequent and comprehensive OS updates that aren’t lagging months behind the Android updates. A fantastic camera. What’s not to love?Even though I refer to my Pixel 3 XL as my work phone, the truth is that I haven’t had a personal phone in over a decade… who wants to carry two phones? Then again, there is something to be said about having a healthy work/life balance. With that in mind, I was curious when I heard about the 3a coming to the market… as much as I love the 3 XL, I can’t say that I was super excited to spend $900 on a phone. When the 3a XL dropped below $300 (after the deal that gave you a $100 GC), it seemed like a no brainer.As someone that has both a 3XL and a 3a XL, here’s what I can tell you:SCREENUnlike the 3 XL, the 3a XL has no screen “notch”. Where there are some parts of the UI that take advantage of the notch, there are just as many applications that leave an annoying color (non-black) artifact in the notch area when watching landscape full-screen video – it’s SUPER annoying. The 3a XL’s screen is slightly smaller than the 3 XL, and while it’s also a little lower resolution, the density (as a result of the smaller diagonal measurement) doesn’t drop that much. In general usage I don’t notice any difference. The 3a’s screen is OLED, but it appears to be a quality tier below the 3 XL’s… you can see it if they are side-by-side, but you wouldn’t notice it if you were going from memory.CAMERAPixel phones are renown for their camera performance. While the raw specs tend to be behind other flagship phones’ optics and CCDs, the actual picture quality tends to be at or near the top of the heap. The Pixel 3a XL is no different, as the rear camera is the same as the one on the 3 XL. The front camera (which I really don’t care as much about) goes with a single, rather than a dual, camera setup. It’s not the same as either front-facing camera on the Pixel 3 XL, but the software (which is largely responsible for the picture quality), is the same. Both cameras appear to be excellent.FORM FACTORThe Pixel 3a XL is slightly larger than the Pixel 3 XL. Some of it may be due to the notch-less screen causing the speaker and camera to be mounted above the screen. Some may be due to the larger capacity battery. Perhaps it’s also influenced by the case material on the back being made of plastic, rather than glass. Regardless, the phone is about 10% lighter, which is enough to be noticable. An omission that I don’t love is that the 3a XL does not support wireless chaging… it’s not the end of the world, but it is missed.PERFORMANCEThe 3a XL does have a significantly slower CPU than the 3 XL. The layout of both processors is to have 4 high speed cores, and 4 slower cores. The general idea is that the system workloads can be managed by the OS’es thread scheduler, and be placed on to the lowest power consuming core that is still adequate for the job. Both phones are fine with multitasking. I didn’t actually notice any performance difference is the UI or in application speeds, but I also am not a mobile gamer… I would expect for the difference to be most obvious there (assuming there is one). I was a little surprised when the 3 XL came out with 4GB of RAM (since I didn’t know if that would be enough), but that worked out well. The 3a XL has the same 4GB of RAM and therefore has similar performance.NOTABLE DIFFERENCES NOT ALEADY MENTIONEDOddly, the Pixel 3a XL has a headphone jack. That’s noteworthy because the 3 XL does NOT have a headphone jack. I know there are some “purists” that are anti-bluetooth, but I’d say that a phone is not an audiophile platform anyway. Even if you have awesome $1500 headphones, I can still tell you that the DAC in your sub-170 gram phone is junk (comparatively). One of the really nice features of the Pixel 3 XL is that it’s waterproof… the 3a XL is not. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but I can see where this would affect some peoples’ choices.In conclusion, I thought the deal I got on Amazon when I bought my 3a XL was so good that I bought the phone without even knowing if I’d get a service plan for it. Now that the 3a XL is at its “normal” price I still think it’s an incredible deal, and I really question anyone who would buy a different phone at this device’s price point. Highly Recommended.

I switched from Samsung Galaxy to the Google Pixel because I wanted a better camera, and I definitely got better quality photos though it seems I don’t have as many options for editing the photos on the Pixel, like adding stickers, etc. Reading the reviews, the notch was a big deal to some people but I don’t notice it at all. I found it awkward to take screenshots – how do you hold the power and volume buttons at the same time when they’re on the same side of the phone? On the Samsung they were on opposite sides so much easier. I accidentally discovered that I can just swipe up and get a screenshot button to press. I didn’t find that tip in any of the help sites. Adding the emoji icon to the phone keyboard shortcuts was something else I figured out by accident. You’d think it would be there already. I like the call screening feature! It’s easy and works great. I find the battery doesn’t last as long as I would like, but I guess that’s to be expected from a new Pixel 3 XL that I bought more than three years after it was released in 2018. It does charge very fast and it was super easy to transfer apps from my Samsung using the cord that came in the box. I thought the larger size might be a problem being a petite person, but it fits my hand just fine. For using basic apps and taking photos and videos, I would recommend buying this phone. It was 1/5 of the original price so definitely worth it.

I went through a lot of hoops to get this phone at a satisfactory quality for the price I wanted, and it took over a month of returns and talking with customer service representatives, but it was totally worth it in the end. The phone is fantastic and the camera quality kicks even newer, more expensive phones to the curb, especially in night mode. As the title says, expect some battery drainage with Android 12, but hopefully a software patch comes along for it sometime soon.

Arrived in original packaging, all sealed and whatnot. Works fine and is a good grab for the sale priceHowever, had a Verizon SIM card. Creepy! The phone might have been tampered with. This disrespect alone brings the rating to 1 star.Make sure to wipe the system off the phone and install it fresh, you can grab it from Google Developers website.

Really happy with this phone so far. Had been using a Galaxy S8+ the last few years and was looking for something new, with better battery life (I was usually get 12-14hrs on my S8). So far the 3a XL hasn’t disappointed! Yesterday I went to bed with the phone at 37% battery after being unplugged for 17 hours and had over 5 hours of screen on time (still had another 8 hours in the tank according to the phone). My only complaint is with the Pixel launcher which forces you into having the Google search bar and what’s happening widget in your homescreen all the time. Can’t be removed…. Considering I was looking for the ‘true’ Android experience I was floored that they won’t let you change that. Oh well, went to the Play store, grabbed Nova launcher and all is well! Performance is great and the camera is fantastic (especially the night site feature).

Si buscas la mejor cámara posible, esta es tu mejor opción. No se dejen engañar por el hecho de que su competencia tiene 3, 4 o hasta 5 lentes para fotos, o que si tiene 64 megapixeles etc. Honestamente esos son trucos de mercadotecnia, y este Pixel 3a XL lo demuestra con un único sensor, pues toma fotos que incluso supera celulares que valen hasta el doble, se nota que Google optimizó muy bien el software de la cámara para que tome fotos a la altura del Pixel 3XL que es su hermano mayor a pesar de que este último cuesta hasta $150 dlls más. El único punto “débil” que le veo al celular es su diseño, que a muchos no les gusta porque en las tendencias actuales los celulares poseen pantalla completa, y los marcos superior e inferior son algo vistosos, pero al menos a mi parecer hace al celular más cómodo de usar ya que evitas tocar la pantalla accidentalmente mientras juegas o ves videos, pero eso es completamente personal. En cuanto a la pantalla, es de 6 pulgadas OLED y también es de muy buena calidad, (full hd+) para el precio, tiene sonido estéreo que se escucha fuerte, pero no recomiendo subir todo el volumen ya que se saturan las bocinas (aunque es normal, pasa incluso en celulares más caros) basta con bajarle 2 puntos al volumen e incluso asà se escucha fuerte, cuenta con jack 3.5mm para audÃfonos, la carga rápida es de 18 W y entrada usb-c, posee lector de huellas digitales en la parte trasera. La baterÃa dura bastante y les anexo mis estadÃsticas de uso para tengan una perspectiva de la duración (Mi record fue sacarle 7 horas de pantalla con brillo al 75%) y en el caso de Call Of Duty Mobile funciona con los gráficos en alto y nunca se me ha atorado o cerrado inesperadamente en el uso cotidiano, sólo una vez me pasó pero porque intencionalmente abrà como 20 aplicaciones y otros juegos porque estaba cambiando a cada rato entre los mismos para poner a prueba la potencia del celular. Un punto fuerte que para mi en lo personal es muy importante es que tienes 3 años de actualizaciones tanto del sistema operativo como en parches de seguridad, y como plus el celular cuenta con el chip titan de Google, el cual se encarga de integrar bien la seguridad del software y hardware. Por lo que en cuanto a sus datos personales pueden estar tranquilos. El sistema operativo está muy bien pulido y funciona muy bien, ya que Google tiene control total tanto del sistema operativo como del hardware, y el celular funciona bajo al idea de como Google visualiza que deberÃa funcionar android en los dispositivos con este sistema operativo. Si algo es seguro es que no se van a equivocar si deciden comprar este smartphone, les hará sentirse satisfechos con su compra.
