    Smooth phone, that proves you don't need high end components or pricetags to get an excellent experience. It's all in the software and Google has mastered this. Simplicity wins.

    Almost two years later still going strong. I love all the features it came with and the ones Google has added in updates. Also very convenient to have a real audio jack.

    So after a month of loving this phone it went “dead” and refused to turn back on for an entire week . Once it turned back on the top portion of the screen wasn’t working , the letter “o “ on my keyboard wasn’t working . It was doing crazy stuff like opening apps by itself . I called google and they told me that I had two options , the first would be to take it to the repair store 70 miles away or wait for a box to come to send it off for repair . I was told that if the repair place 70 miles away couldn’t repair the phone then I would be sent another phone . So I made the Exhausting drive with my screaming baby and two technicians looked at my phone and tested it for various things and cane to the conclusion that I got a “bad apple” and they assured me that google would send me a new phone . So I call google back and they say that they do not replace phones , only repair them . I dug out my warranty and read it back to them and then they said they would send me a box to ship my phone to be checked and repaired. I reminded them that I already drove the 70 miles for a check and repair . Apparently that was a Waste of my time , has , and sanity . Now google is saying it’s reviewing the case and no one has even bothered to contact the repair store they sent me to. I’m beyond irritated and still owe $300 on a phone that I can’t even use . I Do not recommend this phone .

    This was my favorite phone so far, but it is so hard to find a phone case for it. I had to stick with the original pixelphone case, which didn't protect the screen when I dropped it once.

    this is 2nd google phone after the nexus 5x and it's simply superb. clean, uncluttered and easy on the eyes. the software is clean and no ad ware or bloatware. would be great if google can add an sd card slot.

    Bought this for my sister. She loved everything about it as she could fully utilize its capabilities being a techie person herself. Although she has to charge it everyday for using it too much. No complaints yet!

    Only real complaint, honestly, is that "purple-ish" really emphasizes the "-ish". A bit disappointed it wasn't a bit more purple, but not enough to dock a star. Excellent phone, excellent price.

    So far so good. The Pixel is fast, has a great easy-to-read display, supports all my apps, and takes great pics. It was much more economical than the competition and I have yet to see anything negative about it.

    Great phone; great camera;. However, battery life after a few months is terrible; runs out after about 14 hrs (without much or any warning). Android 10/11 is kind of user-flaky in several ways.

    I live in an area that was not letting me have reception. I moved to another service and chose a Google phone. My service hasn't dropped since and I have internet everywhere. I would purchase again

    The camera is sooo amazing and runs really smooth! I'm so happy I decided to buy this phone instead of wasting much more money on other phones just because of the brand. It's really a steal :)

    Like that the phone is very lightweight compared to the heavy iPhones. Spend the $399 for an unlocked model then you're not locked in to a certain carrier.

    Long time iphone user and the Pixel 3a made me believe in Android again. I like it so much that I bought two of them for myself and my business, and also one for my brother. Give Pixel a try.

    Unfortunately the Pixel phone died on me and I had to come back for an exchange. The Samsung rep knew his stuff so well, that I went from a purchase of a $350 phone to a $900 phone. Thanks, Al and Brenda

    The only thing I can criticize is that the portrait mode does a very digital and forced blur to the background. You can still edit this after taking the picture, but the first initial photo looks too photoshoped.

    Bought this as a cheaper replacement phone for the wife. The screen is beautiful and the camera works flawlessly. The casing feels a little cheap, but the price and promotion from Best Buy made it a great deal.
