    Unless you enjoy high speed games on your phone you will miss nothing switching to this. I'm a big gamer, but prefer computers or console for that. This phone has plenty of fast processing power for everything else. Takes great pictures, love the easy access to Google Home.

    I have purchased and used just about every version of the Pixel. They consistently outperform other brands and platforms due to their camera and image processing. They are priced competitively and I love that I have unlimited cloud storage for photos and videos. I've never had a mechanical problem with one.

    I had bought Samsung phones for years. I got tired of how long it took to power up. I got tired of all the hassle. So I decided to replace it with this google phone. I love it more than any other phone I have had. It is much easier to use than my samsung. I highly recommend this phone. It is so easy to use.

    Wife is thrilled with this phone--our third Pixel so far. The others are 3a, so this was our first 3aXL. Beautiful screen, smooth and quick, and you gotta love the aspect ratio on these phones... Big screen features but still not awkward to hold. Certainly superior in every way compared to her 3-year-old Moto Z2.

    The pixel 3A XL is an amazing phone with probably the best camera out there amongst all phones. The unlimited photo storage means you can go to every vacation and take a ton of photos without ever worrying about space. The phone itself is great to use as well and since it is released by Google you always get the new OS updates immediately.

    I used to be a $1,000 smartphone buyer. However, these past few years, the minor upgrades just don't appeal to me. For the price, the Google Pixel 3a XL was an awesome fit for what I needed. The highlight is the amazing camera, best I've ever had one a smartphone. The only drawback is the lack of an SD card slot.

    I have only had this phone for two days but I am coming from an iPhone xs and I love this thing! Let me start by saying, I am very basic when it comes to phones and I don't do anything crazy other than text, call, Google search and stream music and movies. This thing is perfect for all the above. It has the sleek look of an iPhone for a fraction of the cost and is just as user friendly. There are a few more settings you can tweak, but nothing insanely confusing like some other Android's. Oh, and not to mention the lavender with the neon little button is just adorable! The ONLY thing I feel like I am truly missing out on compared to the xs is the facial recognition to open my phone but I would pay the price for this over an iPhone any day. I don't think I will be switching back. The first Pixel didn't work out for me but I am so so glad I decided to try again with the 3a. Google didn't disappoint again!

    I've been using the phone for a few weeks now and have nothing but love. It's fast and the camera is phenomenal. Pictures are so vivid and sharp. And the night sight feature works just as advertised. Not sure there is a better phone out there for this price point.

    Was apprehensive about not getting a Samsung or iPhone but the Pixel is fast winning me over. Camera is excellent and it was surprisingly easy to copy my iTunes music over. Only bug bear is that I can't play music through my car USB like I could with my previous iPhone. This is something that needs addressing.

    I have a problem losing and breaking cell phones. Anyway, the pixel 3aXL is a super phone and the price is so reasonable. I can't see myself ever paying flagship phone prices again. Best Buy had the best price and the curbside pickup was smooth and efficient. A+ transaction all the way around.

    This phone is great. This phone has almost everything you would want in a phone for half the price of a flagship pixel, iPhone or Samsung . Unless you need things like wireless charging , and a screen better than 1080p then pay those higher prices. This phone will also be updates for the next three years
