    Generally, I often use apps from Google, including Chrome, Google Map, and Gmail. So, I bought this phone so that I do not have to store the apps from others (like Apple and Samsung) in the phone. Besides, this Pixel 3a has great camera, affordable price, and smart suggestions.

    Got this for just over $300 with tax on sale, and for the price you get great software, USB C charging, a fantastic camera, and free uploads to Google Photos for the life of the phone (eventually at only "high quality" resolution, but still unlimited).

    This phone has exceeded my expectations. Does everything I need it to and then some. Great camera, smooth operation, adequate battery life. I had a Nexus 4 when it was released, and I'm glad Google returned to a budget friendly phone with great features. Would recommend this phone.

    My wife is coming from an iphone and decided to give an android a shot. I picked this due to price, camera and reputation, She is happy with the Speed and battery life. This phone is compatible with her Cochlear processors (Nucleus 7) which was also a major factor.

    I purchased this when Best buy was running a promotion wherein you get $100 gift certificate which made the deal even sweeter. The camera keeps up with my Galaxy S10+ even with only one rear camera. It's not as quick but not really laggy. For the price, excellent deal.

    The camera, as many reviews say, is just amazing. We got it with Sprint activation for $199 plus tax. Though still have to pay for the activation and first month (~$65), makes the total about $280. Still wonderful for what it can do. We don't do gaming so everything is great to us.

    Got this to replace an aging Nexus 6 for my wife and it's a decent replacement. Definitely faster and the camera is even better! Pretty much the same as my other Pixel 3XL as far as features go... I don't think I lose much of anything with the cheaper 3a option.

    This is a great phone, it might not have the highest specs but you won't notice that anyway. It has a great camera and has the best software experience I've had with an Android phone. It honestly feels the same as a more expensive phone so save some money and get this one

    My iPhone broke so I traded it in and guess what? I am an android user now because of this affordable phone. Plus it has a great camera and the battery is lovely. This bad boy last for a full day unlike these Apple phones. Definitely recommend this to family and friends. #teampixel

    The Pixel 3a is just fantastic for the price. The phone is significantly better than the Samsung S7 it replaced. It's fast, smooth and has a great camera. It does everything I need without paying $1,000 for a phone. The only thing to be careful of it that it's not waterproof.

    I purchased this phone for my wife, as I have the Pixel 3. I am IN LOVE with the polycarbonate case, as my glass back on my Pixel 3 shattered shortly after purchasing it. It's basically the same phone, with the same high quality camera, for a fraction of the cost of the flagship

    Perfect Size for phone, coming from Pixel 2 which has bezels and no headphone jack and Pixel 3a has fewer bezels and a headphone jack but I lost the water resistance. However, this has a better camera and another year of software support.

    Got the best buy on this Google Phone.. even better price than Google, which Google would not ship to me for an extra week. Phones came in 2 days and are very nice. Ordered a Moto g7 which is also a very nice phone but these are said to be faster... we will see.

    Love this phone. It's fast and does all I need it to do. The camera takes great pictures and offers different options. I replaced my Galaxy 5 with the Pixel 3a. There are a couple little quirks, maybe just differences that I'm getting use to. Overall very happy.

    I decided to give the Google Pixel 3a a try when my iPhone 6 started acting up. I love the camera. The phone itself was easy to set up and figure out. I thought it would take me a few days to adjust from iPhone but my comfort with the new phone was almost immediate.

    I purchased the Google Pixel 3 A on the day the phone was announced and am very pleased with it's performance. The highlight is the phone camera and features that compete with higher end pones in the market like Apple XR. Overall, it is an excellent buy for the small price.

    I have a Pixel 4. After 6 months with it I "Downgraded" to the Pixel 3a. I was tired of mediocre battery life and face unlock during these face mask pandemic times is not a good feature in my opinion. The 3a has a great screen, awesome camera and perfect size for one handed use as does the Pixel 4. The fingerprint sensor on the back is making my life much easier and the battery lasts several hours longer than on the 4. The Snapdragon 670 works efficiently. In fact I hardly notice a difference between it and the more advanced processor on the Pixel 4. For $399, even a year after it's release date, this is still the best upper mid-range Android on the market imo.

    Had the Pixel 3a for a few weeks now and it's been fantastic! The camera is top notch quality and produces excellent, sharp photos. I also like having the fingerprint reader in the back, it's more intuitive to use. For this price point of $399, this phone is a bargain!

    With the release of the Pixel 4 in late Oct. 2019, I purchased a Pixel 3a at a really good price from Best Buy. This phone has a really great camera for taking high resolution photos, even in very low light conditions. It also does a good job with recording video in up to 4K resolution (at 30Hz). The phone upgraded to Android 10 and has plenty of internal memory for the apps I want to run and comes with google cloud for storage of photos, etc. Also by using a male USB C to female USB A adapter I was able to off load photos from the phone's internal storage onto a USB flash drive.
