    BEST SMART PHONE FOR THE MONEY!

    If you want a great Smart phone with Android Pie and No Bloatware this is the phone to buy! I was so tired of my Samsung 7S and all the bloatware which I could not delete off my phone and if you didn't use it it made your life miserable. I am so glad that Google made the Pixel 3A which I can afford and I don't have any apps that I don't want.

    Better Than I Thought, But Returned

    Overall, I had a pretty good experience with the 3a, The camera is awesome, saves as the higher end Pixel 3. Battery life was great. Of the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL, I go the 3a which had the same screen size as my iPhone 7 Plus. But it was significantly lighter. I also found out that some apps on the Pixel do different things than on the iPhone. My Chevy Volt also add extra functionality when connected to the pixel. But sadly, some apps stopped working and the screen isn’t’ nearly as bright the Apple products. It was because of these two things that I ultimately returned the Pixel.

    Hands down the camera is amazing, the battery life is good. The sound is okay but the phone shut off on its own 3 days after buying it. It was fine after rebooting but the OS/hardware experience is not very smooth

    This is by far the best Pixel phone you can buy currently, especially when considering the price with only small trade-offs versus it's big brothers. I haven't run into any slow-down's related to the mid-tier Qualcomm processor. The phone should be sufficient for anybody that is using it for email, social media, photos, maps, and internet browsing. Can't speak of gaming as I don't do it. My favorite part about this phone is it's camera and vanilla Android.

    The Pixel 3a is the best phone that I have ever owned and is the best mid-range phone on the market at the time I'm writing this review. It has the same stellar camera as the flagship Pixel 3, which is twice the price, though it is missing the dedicated image processing chip so photos take a little longer to save. The body is made of plastic, but it is done very well and feels good in the hand. It's also nice to know that this phone will receive system updates for two years and security patches for three, which is more than I can say for any phone I've owned before.

    This phone replaces my Nexus 5x. It's just a little bit larger & I like the size I have. Night Sight photos look great. Had it about a week, no problems.

    Great value, "good enough"

    Bought it mainly for the camera, which is very good. Processor is not top of the line, but coming from my previous iPhone 6s, it's plenty fast enough for all my needs (browsing news/email, FB, light gaming). The one thing I wasn't expecting to care or notice is the Pixel 3a screen, which is a lot better than my old iPhone's LCD screen. Build quality is good, even though it has plastic back. Not flimsy at all. Basically, if you're coming from a phone that is more than 3-4 yrs old and don't play graphic-intensive games, this is a great value for what you get.

    For $399, the Google Pixel 3A is probably the best value of all current smartphones. Build quality is good with the absolute best cameras to be found.

    I originally got this phone December of 2019. One year later and it's still fantastic. Battery life and camera performance still hold up. Performance is somewhere in the middle but this phone only has a midrange processor and 4 gb of ram so i can accept it. And the display is a pretty good amoled. And because it's a Pixel, it'll get major software updates until 2022. All in all a great value, though at this point in time I'd instead go for the Pixel 4a because of it's performance boost.

    This phone is great for people who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a smartphone with a good camera. It had the amazing Camera found on higher end pixel phones with all the bells and whistles. Body is made of Plastic and is good for people who are scared about dropping their phones. It’s extremely light weight for the size as well. Overall, an extremely good budget phone.

    I got this as a replacement for my Pixel (original) phone that died suddenly. I use Google Fi, and the selection of phones capable of fully using this service is somewhat limited. This has been a good phone. It has worked well, and done everything I have asked it to do. The one complaint I have is that I have run close to the space limit and I don't think this model was available with more flash memory. The one perk of the Pixel line of phones is that they get the latest version of Android.
