    Got this phone as a replacement for my son's Moto x that died. It is a great option instead of the pixel 3 because of price. It does everything he wants and for a great price. Plus he gets all of the benefits of using a Google phone including backups, the cloud and picture storage. Love Google's connectivity.

    I brought this phone as a second phone. I use it mainly as a hotspot to connect my other devices. The battery life is very good. One thing I don't like is the screen resolution. I think the iPhone has a better resolution than this one. I didn't use the camera too much, but I do watch a lot of videos on the phone. Overall its a good product.

    Finally a phone that you can reach the whole screen with your thumbs again. We hit this size years ago and kept making phones bigger. This is also light and thin, and has some cool Pixel apps and tech you can't get on other Androids. The battery isn't amazing, but the camera is. It's crazy good.

    I've been using the 3a for several months now and it is has not failed to impress me. Great camera, fast processor, absolutely no bloatware (which is very important to me), and nice form factor. The only minus is an occasional lag or lack of response when I have too many apps and pages open at the same time.

    This is by far the best smartphone I have ever had. While the screen ratio is a little weird, it is something I am quickly getting used to. The display itself is absolutely beautiful and the sound and camera quality are great. This phone, while cheaper than other Pixel models, can clearly hold it's own.

    I replaced a Sony phone with this. The phone itself works flawlessly but had to learn some new apps that Android doesn't offer anymore for the newer OS. The camera is far clearer than the Sony -- a surprise -- and the flow is very good. The availability of a smaller footprint would be desirable, but otherwise no complaints.

    Best Buy had the best price on a Google Pixel 3A unlocked phone. The phone builds on everything good about the Pixel I and then improves on them. Shipment was fast. Who could ask for more - well okay, you could ask, but really, as far a getting a new phone this was a highly satisfactory transaction!

    This is a great phone for those who are sick and tired of the monthly payments that the phone companies keep adding to our monthly bills. The camera is great. The phone is lightweight. After using this phone for a few days, I picked up my wife's iPhone and nearly broke my wrist. Highly recommended.

    This phone is a great phone for the price. If you want to not spend a ridiculous amount of money on a phone this is the phone to go with. Also, since it’s a Google phone you will get updates to the Android OS when they come out, the service provider can’t block it like they do with many other Android phone.

    Great Upgrade at Low Price

    I upgraded to the Pixel 3a from the Moto X4 to get a better camera, and it been impressive for the price. Much faster processor than the X4, great OLED screen, and speakers are much better - I actually enjoy listening to Pandora on them now! For me, a flagship phone is a water of money compared to a phone like this. Only downside is the lack of a micro SD card slot, which feels weird.

    I originally bought my wife this phone for her birthday and she loved it. After using her phone for a bit, I decided to purchase one for myself and let me tell you, I love it. Camera quality, processing, screen clarity, etc is all outstanding. I am sold on Google pixels and won't be going back.

    It was money worth spending. I'm a carpenter and carry my phone every where. I like the fact that it's light weight and small enough to fit in my pocket. I can take good pictures of the work I do to show others or share with others.

    Love this phone, first time owning a pixel phone and honestly after almost a year of owning I still love it, only downside is the internal memory, I fill that up within 4 months but everything else is solid about this phone and for what you're paying, best bang for your buck

    I don't require some of the features that differentiate this phone from the 'flagships' that command a premium price. This phone, for me, does it all and at an affordable price. I really appreciate the lack of bloatware and the clean implementation of the Android OS here. No complaints.

    I bought this phone because of the camera quality. It's good, especially for a mid-tier phone. Portrait mode and low light mode both are way better than my old entry level phone (Samsung J7). Phone itself works well, I like the promised 3 years of security updates, and the lack of bloatware. Charges quickly.

    At a price tag $399, it comes with the same camera that I have got on 3xl. Looks almost identical.pure Android. I gave this as a gift to my mom who likes to take pictures and she just loved it. I have all the pixel phones so far. So take my word. If you are under a budget. Go for this one. You won't regret it.

    The camera is the top feature of this phone for me. I carry some fancy cameras and this phone allowd me to omit bringing a wide angle lens for my camera. The phone takes a wide angle shot like a 28mm lens on a full frame camera.
