    Cost to Specs is better than Pixel 4

    The Pixel 3a is priced right and delivers with a great camera. We wanted to get the new Pixel 4, but it wasn't as good as other brand new phones for the same amount of money. The 3a is new enough that it has a great camera, all day battery if used moderately, and decent storage.

    Camera, OS, Android privileges and easy setup are great for the phone. Charges fast and battery life is commendable. I suggest buying a screen guard and a case for added protection as the sides are easily prone to chip.

    Fantastic Camera, Good Phone

    Combine from a OnePlus 3 (released 2016), one might think a lot has improved over 3 years. It hasn't. After using the Pixel 3a for a week, I can say with certainty I prefer the OnePlus ecosystem (Oxygen OS) for additional customization features. A lot of people won't care about that, though. What's even more annoying to me is how my OP3 costed $400 USD in 2016, around the price of the Pixel 3a. Despite the cost, my former phone held superior specs in many ways, especially in terms of processing power. Even now, the Pixel 3a is, in my use, inferior to the OnePlus 3 from years ago. Except, of course, in the camera. While the Google camera app kinda blows... man, the Pixel camera rocks. The pictures are great and video (including handling, like image stabilization) is superb. Combine this with the overall decent quality of the phone and you've got a great deal. ... Just not a killer deal, like the mid-range phones of a few years ago.

    It’s an economic version google pixel phone. Battery lasts more than a day. I really liked the portrait mode in camera. Feels smooth while swiping and accessing multiple pages at a time. No lag so far. So far sooo good.

    This is the very best phone for me. So easy to navigate compared to any previous ones I've had. I'm not a juvenile..so I can't just poke around and magic happens. Lol. I can access everything without asking my grandkids for help. A few minutes with a Best Buy employee (Allison) to prompt me and I was on my way! I am now using features that I was afraid to try before. I'm left handed and I would accidentally hit the volume buttons with my thumb and wonder why I was missing calls. This is the only phone I have found with volume AND power buttons on the right side. Very pleased with my pixel3a. Thank you Google!

    I got this as a gift for my dad, he simply loved it. He has been an apple user for years, I was little hesitant if he would like it. But he was like this is awesome, faster than iPhone, 360 degree camera & what not.

    The Pixel 3a camera is awesome. Phone is a perfect size and screen is nice. I got the purplish color and it appears as a light lavender color on the back half of the shell. Quality is similar to phones twice it's price.

    Best Android Phone!

    There's a reason Google Pixel phones are the number one Android phone to get iPhone users to switch. This is more of a review of pixel phones in general: this is my second pixel phone, my wife has a Pixel 4 XL, my dad has a Pixel 3a XL, and I just sold my first Pixel phone (the Pixel 2 XL) to my brother-in-law and he loves it, and he's coming from an iPhone. The Google pixel line is the only Android phone I recommend to people. The cameras are second to none. The software is simple, clean, easy to use, and smart, and keeps getting smarter with better software updates than any other Android phone on the market. Google's AI assistant is also the best! Can't wait for the Pixel 5 to come out!

    As you all know the main selling point of this phone is definitely the camera. Everything else is ok. One of my issue was the base storge was only 64GB minus software so even less. Other than that the phone is pretty solid.

    I'm not the type of consumer who needs the latest and greatest, but at the same time, I've historically always gotten some lower-end phone from brands few people have even heard of. I decided to spring for something a bit higher end without breaking the bank and the Pixel 3a meets that need. Priced at roughly $400, this phone is much more affordable than your standard flagship phone and feels high-end. It's got a sleek look and feel, runs on Android Pie, and takes great pictures. My only minor gripe is that I found it to be perhaps a bit too sleek and up until I bought a case for it, I was always very fearful of dropping and damaging it. It was difficult to pick up and easy to drop if I wasn't being careful. Definitely buy a case for this ASAP.

    Great phone, not to big, not to small. Everything the normal person would need in a phone. Quick response to touch and not a terrible camera. Grabbed one to cover me through a gap between fancy phones.

    Google has taken the chrome off of their flagship

    I'm quite impressed with my purchase This phone doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the Pixel 3, but it's a fine phone. The processor isn't quite as powerful. The glass isn't Gorilla Glass ®. It has the same main camera as the Pixel 3, but it doesn't have the 'special' chip that makes the picture 'better'. But it's a phone that doesn't come with the normal bloatware you find on any other phone in the market. Google has provided the middle of the market with a flagship class phone.

    Great phone all-around, only real downside is the lack of NFC, which is relatively rarely used anyways. Photos are excellent, battery and charge speed are very good. Phone feels quick enough when opening/using apps.

    Best phone ever I got it mainly for the camera but the built in Google assistant is also really great. Only downside is that you can't out an SD card in there but with 64gb built in I haven't needed more space yet

    This is a great phone for the price. It has a great camera and stock Android. I'm coming from a flagship phone and you can tell that this is *slightly* slower, but not $600+ more money noticeable. Considering buying a second one for my wife. I would definitely buy this again.

    I have used the Pixel devices before and am so impressed by the amazing camera. It is by far the best camera on any smartphone today, even the $1,000 smartphones! For $399, you can not go wrong with this phone.
