    Upgraded from the original Pixel. The battery lasts all day with heavy use and charges quickly. Great responsiveness. The shell and screen are hard too; it withstood a couple of drops without a case on it.

    I bought this phone on Black Friday with great price to replace my old phone that did not have enough memory. So far, it is really easy to use with great camera and great sound. Pictures come out great even in the dark. Sound is much better than my old phone. Love it!

    I've always loved the Pixel phones from Google. This is undoubtedly the best Android budget phone. You compromise a bit in design with regards to the plastic body and hardware but there really is no or little difference. And as with the previous two pixel phones - amazing camera!

    I purchased this phone primarily for the camera. I read countless reviews that said the camera was great. I am pleased with my purchase. This replaced an old LG smartphone with a poor camera. It was easy to set up. I think this phone is a great buy.

    If your mainly want a great camera, worry free build and a clean Android experience, this is a hard phone to beat for the price. I love that it has a plastic body (no glass back to worry about). My only gripe is that it's a bit tall, I miss having more small phone options.

    Camera is rated excellent and easily compared to flagship phones. OLED screen and stock android runs faster on google phones. Only cons is the design.. if they change to all screen display or punch hole in pixel 4a then stop looking any other phones and buy it.

    This phone is a definite upgrade for me from a Moto G5. Great camera snd fast operation. No undesirable bloatware and Google provides timely updates to Anderoid. The phone has a call screening feature that eliminates me needing to deal with annoying spam calls.

    I was a Samsung Note gal. But, it was not supported by the carrier Visible, So I had to get a new phone. I take a lot of pictures on my phone so the camera was important to me. Still getting acquainted with all of the Pixel 3a's features, but I love it so far.

    Let me start by saying this! The pixel 3a is excellent. I own pretty much every top smartphone currently out ( iphone 11 pro, pixel 4xl and note 10+) And i was impressed bu how good the pixel 3a is! You may be asking why would i even consider buying this phone? I actually purchase this for my daughter thinking that for the price it was gonna be a okay phone for her. Turns out that when i set it up for her, and play with it for a little while, i was blown away by how good it performs. Im not gonna lie it make me feel like my pixel 4XL is not much better than this and the price was even cheaper. I think that if I wouldn’t have my top smartphones and im on a budget I’ll be completely fine with the pixel 3a. Which in my opinion feels like a top of the line phone ( minus the wireless charging that i use a lot) This phone is a great buy Good display Excellent battery Clean design #teampixel

    This phone works really good with my TMobile service. The camera is phenomenal. However, the Bluetooth is slow when connecting to my car (sometimes it won't connect at all). I have to turn off my Bluetooth speaker then turn it back on to connect. That's the only thing that makes me angry which is why I would give it a 4.5/5.

    Had to replace my Galaxy 6 as the antenna for the GPS wasn’t working. I do like this phone a lot and it’s fine my needs. I’m not a techie person yet this phone is very user friendly. It’s fast and has a great camera with neat features that are easy to figure out. There are a couple features I miss from the Galaxy which others might not mind.

    This phone is everything that you read about everywhere. Superb phone for the price! Anyone can buy this phone at any budget and you will have no regrets. The slight feature downgrade from the pixel 3 is practically unnoticeable and worth the price reduction undoubtedly.

    Bought this for my wife. Very smooth and clear Android system and Google apps. Most impressed with its camera function, by far the best photo quality of all smart phones we've owned so far, including iPhones. Great great value considering the selling price.

    This is a really nice phone with an excellent camera. Screen is bright and sharp. The conversion from the old LG G6 was easy. Worth the money at the sale price. I may not purchased this phone if it was not on sale. Cons. No slot for a SD card.

    Beware of the Best Buy Activation Scam!

    The phone is great. But watch out when they offer $50 off to activate it in store. By doing so you will be billed up to $50 by your carrier. I just got off the phone with Verizon after they charged me $40 per phone to activate them using the same Sim card. I did all the work. But they charged me $40 because Best Buy scanned the serial to my account in store. Just give up the $50 savings and keep it truly unlocked. It's not worth the hassle.

    Oh, I'm really liking this phone. It's got a quality build, long battery life, and a great camera. And...no annoying apps that I never use, yet can't throw away. Lots of power in a package small enough to fit into my pocket. All for $299. Pretty sweet.

    Exactly what I wanted. Even with the less powerful processor the Pixel 3a still performs well. I came from an LG V40, and I'd have to say just from my daily use I don't notice a big performance drop. I do miss the Quad DAC of the LG, but the price makes the difference.
