    I really like this phone. It has a great camera and it's just over all great, especially at this price point . The only complaint I have is that you can't charge this phone on a wireless charger. However , a wireless charging receiver from Amazon solved that little problem. Great phone and great way to avoid getting locked in to a company with a lease/purchase of a high dollar phone .

    This is my 2nd time purchasing this phone from best buy. The first time, I got the clearly white version with Sprint and the second time, I got the purple-ish unlocked. The first pixel 3a was amazing for the price and I've been using it for a little over half a year now but within the first month of using it, I was having issues that was apparently due to hardware issues. The phone was randomly shutting down and I kept getting error messages along with apps continually crashing. Eventually, after a few weeks of almost endless hours of talking with Google support representatives and a disappointing trip to an ubreakifix store, I finally got a replacement phone from Google under the phone's warranty. I also did not have a phone for 2 weeks since I had to send it in and wait for a replacement. On the other hand, the replacement phone has been working fine and I would still recommend this phone to anyone looking for a budget phone that works great. Camera quality on the phone is excellent, especially with a bit of Lightroom editing. The phone still feels fast and someone in my family decided to get the same pixel 3a phone after seeing how well my phone performed(they switched from an iPhone). As of right now, both phones have been great.

    I always buy the flagship phones but bought this one for my son as a Xmas present. He loves it. I set it up and played around with it and was surprised it felt just as fast and snappy as the phones I buy. The camera is amazing! I got it for $250 and think it's a bargain.

    Let me preface by saying I’ve owned every Google Nexus/Pixel and I will say this phone has met my expectations as far as quality goes. Don’t be scared off by the plastic back because high quality materials were used. The only downside to this device is the processor which puts this device between the Pixel 1 and Pixel 2 with updated features of the Pixel 3. The battery life on this device is top tier and should be the golden standard for other manufacturers to follow. Also, important to note, the visual core is absent in this device, so photos will take a little longer to process but shouldn’t be a deal breaker.

    This Pixel 3a is amazing! I've only had apple phones since the iPhone 3g and after using the pixel 3a for 2 weeks I'm hooked. The price is fair enough that I don't freak out when I drop it and the performance is incredible. I love having a headphone jack again and not worrying about charging my Bose headphones. The only drawback I've found is my friends complain about my texts being green and not blue. However having free Google photos storage easily makes up for that. No more being nickel and dimed by Apple for iCloud storage. You used to pay for apple products because the always worked. Now they're full of bugs so you're just paying for a brand. Goggle is where all the innovation is now and you can see it in all the amazing features of this phone.

    For the price, this is arguably best phone available. The camera is excellent and you get the Pixel software experience. Battery life is good for my moderate, non-gaming usage, and I get a day and a half of usage with 6 hours of screen on time.

    I purchased my Pixel 3a in Purpleish to replace my Samsung galaxy Note 9. I recently had issues with my right hand and needed a device that was light enough to hold. I am absolutely in love with this phone. It's snappy and has amazing battery life. Google did a great job and I don't really miss those extra features my note 9 had. I barely used the wireless charging or the s pen. I'm very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend this device. You won't be disappointed.

    I have read a few reviews about the Pixel 3A and one of the things that kept popping up was "you can get other hardware with better specs for cheaper." I have to admit that at first I was very torn and almost didn't get it for that reason. However I am very happy that I did purchase this device because it has proven that specs don't really matter that much in day to day use. So far I have not had a single slow down in my use. The phones is extremely smooth, and handles every task I have thrown at it with ease. The camera is unmatched in a phone of this price and easily competes with phones that cost over $ 1000.00. Call quality is good aside from my carrier not being particularly strong in this area. I can't emphasize enough that for 350-450 you simply will not find a better phone. You have to spend at least 600 or more to find a good competitor for this device.

    This phone, at the recommendation of my daughter because of its excellent camera, replaced a five year old phone with an inadequate camera. The camera became more important to me lately so this was a strong factor in my decision. Also, the 64G memory was far superior to the 16G I had. As with any new phone's features and capabilities it takes time to learn and as I do I am continually pleased at what this phone has to offer. We live in a rural area and phone reception can be spotty and that has improved with this phone although I am not sure why other than it has to do with this phone. I chose the 3a over the 3a XL because the smaller size was important to me. I am amazed at how fast this phone charges.

    The battery life and camera are both excellent for this phone. There is no reason to spend a thousand dollars on a so-called flagship phone. That said, I do not play games on my mobile phone, but this performs well for my needs. Great value for $400!

    This phone is fantastic so far, this phone has all of the features of a flag ship phone at half the price. The camera is great and the screen looks great, it has built in WiFi calling for when the cell network has a weak signal, this phone makes it easy to transfer data. It includes years of updates to pure Android as well which is awesome.

    My cousin bought this phone on Black Friday and he has been loving it ever since. Fits perfectly in the hands, amazing battery life, amazing camera, and of course, the headphone jack! Definitely best bang for the buck phone of this year!

    Got this for my wife and coming from a Samsung S7 edge this is feels much modern and faster but it does feel slightly slower than my 2 year old OnePlus 5T. Camera is better than my 5T no contest. I also like that it's not so wide. Overall I would buy again and getting the $100 best buy gift card is icing on the cake.

    The Pixel 3A shows just how good a phone can be when it is not bogged down by carrier bloatware. The 3A does not have the ultra high end processor or the glass back, but performs pretty much as well as the flagships - at about half the price. The screen is bright and snappy with finger gestures, web sites load smoothly, and battery life for me has been very good in dark mode. The camera on this is even better than I hoped for - easily on par with the best out there. I have read reviews that ding this phone for a polycarbonate back - come on, you know your going to put the phone in a case, right, so the back shouldn't be an issue. The 4A is being released in the next few months - hopefully Google carries the mojo they captured in this mid range winner to the new model!

    Great phone does all the basics great, lacks fancy features that expensive phones have so if you need waterproofing and wireless charging look elsewhere. The thing has a great camera and battery and is very quick though.

    The Pixel phone are completely unlocked and will work on any carrier. If you're buying a phone for the long term, an unlocked phone makes it easy to change carriers in the future without the hassle of buying a new phone. The Pixel 3A is a terrific phone with excellent screen resolution and brightness. The camera is amazing! You also gets timely updates directly from Google. As a moderate, non-techie user, there's more in this phone than I'll ever need. But that's one of the good things about the Pixel 3A: it'll satisfy casual users like me but also keep the more technically inclined users very happy. You don't need to spend over $1000 to get a quality phone. The Pixel 3A price has been fluctuating so keep checking the prices. It's a great value.
