    I loved this phone and then I dropped it. I replaced the screen and then I dropped it again. It's toast. I usually don't break my screens and I had a case on it but I guess they can only take so much abuse

    Snappy performance, excellent screen, great camera, solid build quality... nice value overall. Day-to-day usage is exactly the same as phones costing 2x-3x more.

    The overall look of the phone is great. We have not had any issues with the device as of yet. Battery life is substantial. My wife switched over from the iPhone X and loves this.

    As a previous Nexus 6P owner i always loved the Google brand of phones and the Pixel 3A XL did not fail me. Great budget phone with all the features of the original Pixel 3. The screen size is a little smaller coming from the nexus 6P.

    The phone has added features that I am enjoying. It is easy to switch from my previous phone to this one. Absolutely love the "night" photos. The battery is long lasting, I only have to recharge every 3 to 3 1/2 days.

    Not all the top notch specs as found on the pixel3 but good enough for the value, being unlocked you get updates much more frequent than standard devices tied to a provider. It can slow down if browsing multiple tabs, definitely notice the bottleneck but not a deal breaker.

    Great Phone, excellent value for almost half of PIXEL 3. Tired of getting expensive phones, does it job very well. Unlocked for any carrier. Works great on T-Mobile. Using it for over a week, great battery life and features.

    I needed a new phone to go with my new Bluetooth capable car. I chose this model because it doesn't come with tons of unremovable bloatware, I get to decide what is on my phone, not the manufacturer.

    Easy to use, easy to pair up with my car for "hands-free" operation. It has replaced my nano i-Pod for listening to music during my work-outs and long nature walks. Love it! Also like that it pairs up with my Apple Air Pod!

    I was waiting on the 4a to drop but with the indecisiveness I decided to settle for the 3a and I must say this is a great upgrade from my Essential phone (essentially a pixel). The size is a bit larger than I expected but overall a great phone and it gets the job done.

    It was open box but other than some data somebody left it was perfect. The clean Android software was perfect for my wife who has issues with the skins some brands put on Android and the phone is exceptional

    Bought as a gift to my little brother, So far he loves it he was going to switch to the pixel 5 but this phone has more performance than the pixel 5 so I would recommend to this right now.

    I already have the Google Pixel 3 XL but for the price.. I had to pick up a 3aXL. You get all the best features from the 3 XL on the 3aXL at a much less price.

    The last time I bought a phone based on Google I was disappointed. When I purchased this one and slowly unfolded all the little nuances of how the phone works it is the best phone I have ever owned.

    It’s plenty fast and the build quality is great, despite being made of plastic instead of metals and glass. It’s also great bang for your buck. Especially with the $100 activation discount and the $100 besbuy gift card.

    I just switched from a Pixel after years of being a Galaxy user, and I love it! It was an easy switch and this so far has been a wonderful, quality product!
