Google - Pixel 3a - Just Black (Verizon)

I love the layout, the sleekness, the fast speeds, the clarity, everything!

I was very happy with my OG Pixel XL phone, but it was at the end of its support life. I follow the cell phone industry so I was aware of the reviews for the 3a. I learned that the mid range SOC in this phone is about as capable as the SOC in my XL, a flagship phone 3 years ago that cost $800 new. BB was offering this phone for $300 and free set up in my local store. The phone is just what I expected and is quite good enough for my needs. I might have wanted a more powerful phone if I watched video on it, but I rarely ever did it on my XL and do not anticipate doing it on this one. I always put a case on my phone, so the polycarbonate body is fine for me, and tougher than those glass backed phones. The camera is excellent, the screen is very good and performance is smooth. The cell service from Verizon is reliable. I find the Bluetooth connectivity is better on the 3a. I believe it will serve me well for the next 3 years

Good budget phone with all of the perks and specs I wanted and more! The screen pops in colors, it functions smoothly, it charges fast and keeps a good charge all day and it takes fantastic pictures! Plus, it has the headphone jack and it isn't breaking my bank. I've went from Samsung, to a Moto to now a Pixel and so far the Pixel is my favorite!

I debated getting Pixel 3a or iphone XR for quite a while. Big sales were going for both phones. I got the Pixel 3a because I like the flexibility of Android, but mostly because the phone was less expensive. - -The Pixel 3a is much better than I expected. Battery life has been lasting two days. Camera is great. Integration with Google services is extensive and very useful. Stock Android is also really good. It did NOT look good in the store, but I find that it fits like a glove once you take take an hour or two to arrange widgets, launchers and settings just the way you want. I am not looking to switch to another launcher (which is something you can do on Android, but apparently not so much on Apple's ios). The phone is well reviewed on the web, but I think my local Best Buy did a terrible job promoting the phone. It is a tremendous value at the under $300 price I paid. Sadly, Best Buy did not have options for a case and screen protector in store ($40+ for a screen protector is ridiculous). Amazon has good options under $15.00. FYI, Pixel 3 items do not fit Pixel 3a.

So far, I am in love with the camera , which I really use my phone a lot for. The quality of the pictures is heads above my previous phone cameras. The phone seems to be more than adequate, though I detest relearning things when I get anew phone as each brand wants to be 'unique'. This phone is a bit smaller than my last one, so sometimes my vision is challenged...but the price was right for this phone....a much better deal than the thousand dollar options out there.

After using the same smartphone for five years, I was ready for an upgrade. After some searching, I landed on the Google Pixel 3a, and it was just the phone I was looking for. Slim and ergonomic, it offers standout features I didn't even realize existed, like the back-of-phone fingerprint scanner, the squeeze function to access Google Assistant, and the call screening option that I will miss terribly if I ever have to go without it again. I'm not much in the way of keeping up with the latest and greatest in tech, but the Google Pixel 3a introduced these great features to me in a user-friendly format that makes them appealing and easy to incorporate into my daily smartphone use.

I upgraded to this phone from an iPhone 6. I was a little hesitant because I had tried the Samsung Galaxy 8 and liked it, but I thought my iPhone was more intuitive and so I sold the Galaxy and went back to my iPhone. I have been very happy with this Google Pixel 3a. I read many reviews before deciding to try it. It is intuitive. It also has a fantastic camera. I love the night vision option on the camera! I have to admit, if iPhone had had a better sale, I would have purchased the iPhone 11. I did not want to spend that much, and I am very happy with my purchase. If you want a good phone without having to spend too much, I definitely recommend this phone.

I've always owned Samsung, and generally they've been fine. But I just get tired of all the crapware they ship the phone, that you can't take off of it, and it saps the performance. Plus I'm just tired of spending alot of money on phones. I financed this one, I think the monthly on it is about $15 per month, acceptable. The phone however is by far and away the best phone I've ever owned. It's very fast, and very clean. The camera is superb, and it does have a 3.5mm plug on for wired headsets, their more expensive ones do not. That was a must. Not a lot comes on it, but you just load what you want. The camera btw is amazing. The phone is very intuitive and easy to use. My representative at Best Buy was very knowledgeable, I looked at about everything but I had done some research. It was easy to transfer all the data.
