    Great phone. Does everything I need. No superfluous Apps. Pictures and Video are top notch, and the price is less than half of the other phones I was initially shopping. Operates slightly different, but I was up to speed by the end of the day.

    Bought this for my work phone. It is a work horse and does all I need to do. I run BB UEM Solution on it and works like a champ. I also use my companies apps on there as well. Battery life is good and speed of the device is snappy. I dont use the camera much so I cant comment on that. But for a work phone for someone in the IT industry, it gets the job done.

    Great camera, bright colorful display, and the battery life has been good to me too! First Pixel phone so far and I love it so much more than the old Motorola's I had. Bought it so I could have WiFi calling in my home where I don't get good service, but it's really impressed me in all other aspects.

    I bought this phone for my wife because she broke two phones this year and I wanted something "cheap". Definitely exceeds expectations, I have a galaxy and have pretty much decided to switch to a pixel when it's time. Absolutely can't be beat for the price. Reviews for the camera are low but my wife and I just don't see it works fine for everyday use.

    Bought this as an upgrade for my wife. We’re not paying $800 + for phones anymore. This phone is a great phone. The camera is top of the line, the phone speed is comparable to any big box brand companies. The battery has great life, lasts all day. Only problem is, no expandable memory but that really isn’t a big issue anymore with all the ways to back up devices now.

    Easily the best Android phone I've had out of the box. Animations and opening apps is quick and without stutter. The camera is awesome. Doesn't feel as fragile as some more expensive phones. Battery life is about what you'd expect. It gets you through the day, but not much more. Luckily phone charges quickly with USB C. The Wi-Fi icon often shows that the signal is weak, or at least weaker than my last two phones, but connection and performance doesn't seem to be any different. Some complain about the bezels, but I find them helpful when watching videos. I use YouTube often on my phone. My last phone had problems with the navigation controls covering up the screen while watching video after accidentally touching the screen. The phone performs well. I mostly use it for watching videos, editing photos, social media and reading news. I'm not much into mobile games, so I don't know if this phone would be well suited for apps that require more processing power. The new additions in Android 10 like gesture navigation work fairly well. There are some minor quirks, especially in apps that have menus that scroll in from the side. That's rarely been an issue, but might be a problem if you use apps that work that way.

    Google has definitely outdone the competition with the Pixel 3a. This phone delivers the same functionality as some high end phones at a fraction of the cost. The camera is far and away my favorite feature of this phone. You get the same great quality of photos as the $1000 pixel phones.

    Awesome features like the one that automatically tells you what song is playing! sooo cool! not to mention how REFRESHING it is to have a headphone jack! Plus having the power button and volume button on the same side makes watching movies much easier! So far my battery lasts all day after a full charge! Hoping the quality only gets better! ^‿^

    When I broke my Nexus 5x I went to Nokia 6.1 and then to a nokia 7.1 and liked them both but then the Pixel 3a came and with the promo of $100 gift cert making it $299 I had to try it. Well it seems 4 times faster and and its the size I like. This is what a Nexus type phone should be.

    This phone is perfect, if you like android. (If you're an apple fan, then may not apply to you.) One thing-- The phone is not water resistant, so consider getting a case! Other than that, there are a lot of great things about this phone... really good camera, really good size, really good price... I could go on and on..........

    This is definitely a great phone for the price. Google provides regular software updates and has promised support for at least 3 years from launch date. Camera is just awesome and will easily beat some of the premium phones in the overall quality. I m definitely a happy buyer and will for sure recommend this to others also.

    Great Mid-tier Phone

    $400. Great phone. Best Android software experience. Flagship level camera. The slower Snapdragon 670 doesn't really feel like it slows you down with this phone and the phone still looks premium even if it is a mid-tier version of the Pixel 3. Def would recommend for those looking for a great Android experience, great photos, wrapped in a $400 phone.

    On paper, this is a great phone. Fast chip, good enough space (I bought the 64 GB) impressive screen and camera. Yet I was just a bit underwhelmed when I actually got to use it. Don’t get me wrong. The pictures are truly amazing, the screen is beautiful. It is just that a few of the highlighted features don’t quite work as smoothly as advertised. Such as the gripping on the sides to get the google assistance. It is a gimmick that only truly worked 1 out of 5 times at best. But not a deal breaker. It is fast and boots up once you turn it on in about 15 secs vs a whole minute for some phones. Also a bigger inconvenience than I thought it would be is the fingerprint scanner being in the back instead of the front. Again, wouldn’t call this a deal breaker, but I would recommend you try it out at the store a few times before you go all in on this one.

    That's my second phone I got as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I have the same one since summer and I'm very happy with the way it's functioning, the apps, the ease of use (I'm not a teen) . So far no glitches, regular updates and an amazing camera. Plus it's a fraction of the money you will pay for some fruit brand phone ;)

    Since most smart phones are outrageously expensive these days, this phone seemed to be a good buy to me. It is still a big investment, but not nearly as bad as most of the better phones. So far the quality of the phone is excellent, and calls are easy to make and hear. I really love the camera, especially for low light pictures.

    Everything they say about the camera is true. It's great. It may not have the top of the line processor, but it zips along just fine. Some people are upset about the plastic build, but I think glass backs are ridiculous. My only gripe, personally, no wireless charging.
