Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Pixel 3a XL's camera quality, describing it as outstanding and still good even in 2024. They also appreciate its affordable price, long battery life, and user-friendly interface. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the limited storage capacity, lack of wireless charging, and choppy speaker audio at high volumes.

    I've been enjoying this phone since I bought it (typing out this review on it). Works great and no issues. Please note of you're on Sprint or some other carriers, this phone has an eSim (which I didn't know about and the best buy staff didn't know either) so you may not need a Sim card to activate this phone.

    I just realized, according to Google's store online that the new Pixel 3a and 3a XL are not supported on the AT&T network even though Best Buy says it is.

    The XL is perfectly sized as it's big enough for great screen resolution but still small enough to fit in my pocket. Good speed using apps and a great camera also doesn't have all the bloatware associated with the more expensive phones. It does everything I need perfectly. I use it primarily for phone,text,email and internet not slot of dedicated apps.

    We bought this phone for our daughter for Christmas, and were impressed with the overall quality and value. It has a very good camera, and screen. Easy to operate. Although the body is plastic which may make it a little less durable, the light weight is nice. Definitely recommend a protective case since the phone is lightweight, and it is a little slippery.

    Bought it the first day it came out. One big thing to note is the SD670 in this phone is basically a updated SD821 and sometimes comes close to the SD835 in terms of performance. Its no slouch. I also chose the XL version since its a 18:9 ratio then the smaller one, the smaller one is 18.5:9 so its a bit longer. To me its a no brainer of a purchase since google is pushing updates out for this phone for the next few yrs. What i was looking for in a phone is great camera, security updates, and dual speakers. Few things to note is I didn't like the double swipe up for the app drawer and its only in the 3 and 3A while the pixel 2 and 1 is different (forgot the option in the gestures menu). I installed Nova launcher instead. Last thing to note is taking pics for 2hrs straight really kills the battery but I'm sure thats every phone.

    Purchased this phone for my husband after he has spent a while looking for just the right one. This had all of the requirements that he wanted as far as memory, processing, etc...and it could use a normal plug in headphone - this was what sealed the deal for him. So far no complaints.

    My old OnePlus 3T was dying and I really wanted to upgrade. Though I wanted the OP7Pro, Google Pixel 3 was a close runner-up. Honestly, you're getting just as amazing phone with the 3a for half the price. The camera is freaking amazing, the phone is buttery smooth, and I just recently got the Android 10 update. Highly recommend for people on a budget
