    Love this phone. The camera is superb. I had to buy a 2nd one as my original got stolen. It was easy to transfer all my info originally from an Apple phone. It was super easy when I had to purchase the 2nd phone. Love the Google cloud backing up ALL my pictures. Thinking about getting the 4a. Very easy to use and nice quality.

    Such a good phone with an amazing quality camera. I've changed from an old Xperia Z5 and the fluidity of this phone is sooo good. I use it for casual using, texting, watching some video and surfing the web mostly so I didn't see the point to spend 900$ on a top phone. But this is way enough. I couldn't be more satisfied. Also, fast charging makes your life so easier.

    At the time i purchased this phone, the pixel 3a was $350 and the pixel 3 was $500 and i was unsure which to get. After weighing pros and cons, i went with the 3a since the (back) camera was the same which was the most important feature for me. I'm happy with my decision as it surpasses the camera from the galaxy series, Sony xperia and Nokia phones

    This phone is so light and well made its impressive what they have accomplished with this phone. I have the Pixel 3XL and bought this phone for my fiance. Honestly had a hard time handing it over to her because this phone is gorgeous. The headphone jack is a nice touch and the camera is the same as the regular 3 so you can't go wrong. Google overlord for life. <3

    Best phone I've ever owned

    The first thing I noticed about this phone is how fast it does everything - opening apps, sending texts or pictures, or browsing the web, it does everything very fast. The second most impressive thing is the signal strength. I've been able to make calls and use data in places where my previous phones were unable to connect. And the voice assistant seems to work just a little better than it did on previous phones. If I had to come up with a complaint, it would be that the battery seems to run out faster once it gets below about 50%. That said, I haven't actually had the battery completely go dead on me, just come close. And that was after being out and about for almost the whole day with what would be normal usage for me. The only other minor thing is that the Google assistant can be activated by squeezing the sides of the phone on the bottom. I have accidentally activated the assistant a couple of times when I picked the phone up by its lower half, so when you set the squeeze pressure that activates the assistant, make sure you squeeze just a little firmer than I did. But overall, I am very happy with this phone, and would say that Google has a great product.

    Works well and as expected. Battery life is good. Call connections sometimes has issues, but that could be due more so to the carrier than the phone. Design is lightweight and sleek. A bit expensive for being such an old phone.

    Purchased as a gift because we liked the original one so well; plus price went down and best buy matched my original purchase, so that was great. We have been happy with the phones; they do just what we need and are easy to use. The color doesn't really matter once you put it in a case, but I usually go with black.

    The Pixel 3a changes the budget phone game. It has a fantastic camera. I love that Google/Android sends security updates and feature upgrades on a regular basis. If you're looking to join the Google Pixel world but aren't sure you need the bells and whistles of the highest end models (currently the Pixel 4) -- then the Pixel 3a may be for you!

    Bought this phone for my mother as her Moto g5 plus is no longer receiving updates. This phone is great for the price! Excellent camera that comes from the more expensive pixel 3, and easy to make accessible for those who need larger text and bigger icons. Highly recommend this phone.

    Phone is a very good value. Charges quickly, excellent battery life, usually is quick to respond. I have noted some occasional issues with the camera app especially when using to send photo via text. Camera will hang and be black until you either exit messages app or turn to front camera then switch back.
