    Just begun to use. Easy setup and data transfer. Comfortable for one handed operation. Like the fingerprint sensor on back. Intuitive operation, but Google does good job of providing useful operation tips and direction. Volume of speaker pretty decent. So far so good. Reasonable price.

    Switched to phone to upgrade my Moto droid. It was 8 years old and not up to date with today. Pixel while android, seems to take more steps to accomplish what I am used to. May be once I use for a few months it will be second nature. I am pleased with the new features I now have. Hate google with a passion but have to live in today's weird world go forward.

    This has been my favorite phone to date. I'm coming up on two years of ownership and am a bit to sad realizing I will need to replace it sooner that later. Battery life is not what it once was, but also not terrible. It does good for normal tasks, but is under-spec'd for newer apps and sites.

    Excellent camera with 4k video recording, full HD+ display, decent battery backup, fast charging, stock android UI, optimal gaming experience, overall a great phone. Google is offering latest OS updates guaranteed for 3 years, so assured to have the newest features of android always on this phone.

    This phone has a very simple setup and can be used easily. I love the long battery life - a couple days before I need to recharge it! I recommend that you review some tutorials for more advanced features. Purchasing at Best Buy was the perfect way to go - the salesman/tech was so helpful and the process was much faster than that of the wireless service provider store.

    Battery not winning me over

    Overall I'm pleased with the phone but there are a few shortcomings. I don't understand the rave reviews about battery life. I'm not a heavy user by any means, yet I have to charge the device before the end of each day. While the plastic build doesn't bother me, the back of my phone has already acquired streaks of color (purpleish) from gently rubbing against a seam in my purse. Sometimes I experience Bluetooth connectivity issues with my car. The phone is certainly an upgrade from my Moto G4, but I'm disappointed with the poor battery life and how delicate the back of the phone is. I would recommend buying the black version of the phone to avoid visible marks, if you plan to use it without a case.

    Love this phone, I bought it to get out of the never ending phone lease process that most cell carriers have now. Battery doesn't quite last all day, but I have several monitoring apps that are constantly running. I think for an average to above-average user, this is a great deal!

    THis is my first smart phone. I'm amazed at what it can do. it's a little complicated if you've never used one before, but if you're reasonably adept at computers, you can figure out what's what, and there is extensive written support available on the phone. The pictures are fantastic.

    I bought this phone as an unexpected replacement for my Pixel 2, which met its demise under the wheel of a moving truck. Lucky for me, the 3a is a worthy follow-up, with excellent, user-friendly features. I'm very happy with the upgrade (even if it wasn't planned!).

    I've been using my Google Pixel 3a for 6 months now and can't complain about anything at all. Not one thing. I like its hardware just as well as its software and would not change a single thing. I'll never buy anything else again, Google has found a lifetime fan in me.
