    Camera is rated excellent and easily compared to flagship phones. OLED screen and stock android runs faster on google phones. Only cons is the design.. if they change to all screen display or punch hole in pixel 4a then stop looking any other phones and buy it.

    Battery life is unbelievable. Getting over 8 hours of screen time per charge cycle. The software is clean and as a Pixel owner you get all the new features the second Google releases them. Build quality is excellent. The more I use this phone the more I love it.

    The camera is really good. The UI is not very intuitive and it is really easy to accidentally make a call or launch an app unintentionally. Battery life is about 24 hours with normal usage However, considering it was only $400 and smartphones are upwards of $800, it's a great value.

    The phone is good. But, I have had several glitches/issues with it that needed me to force restart the phone a few times. I bought it for my dad, and this gets frustrating after a few times. But apart from this, the phone, the camera, performs well for the price

    This is a great phone for the money especially. I had a Pixel 3 xl for 18 months and it's just as good at a third of the price. I'm over expensive phones but I personally like the pixel Android experience. Does everything I need and nothing I don't.

    I’m primarily an iPhone user but purchased this as a second device due to its great camera. Having both devices, allows me to travel with great photo and communications tools! I’m using my Pixel 3axl on Google FI which also includes high speed international data. Google FI gives you Fastest speeds and super coverage on the amazing TMobile network

    Fast and smooth - the Snapdragon 670 processor combined with 4 GB of RAM is a perfect combination. Beautiful 6 inch screen. Love the headphone jack. Has band 71 capability. Will work on ANY carrier. Guaranteed Android updates for the next few years. A++!

    wow the pixel 3a xl price is right for the best camera ever on a phone (pixel) with night sight and 360 panoramic. It's a low cost version of the 3 xl but you couldn't tell. looks the same and works the same. no bloatware since it's a google. LOVE IT !!!!

    Use to be a Samsung fan, but since I switched to Pixel can't go back. The price was reasonable. The fingerprint reader has sold me on this phone. Plus you get updated Android OS without waiting months or years.

    When i first got it it though it was going to be slow with the snapdragon 600 series. I was surprised it is amazing. It runs real fast and has 4gb of ram. Sadly though no sd card slot and only has 64gb of storage and can't do 128gb. Otherwise I love it.

    all the best features of the pixel phones without the premium cost. i especially like the "squeeze" access to Google Assistant. i bought both the 3a and the 3aXL. I love the feel of the 3a in my hand, but prefer the extra real estate on the XL screen.

    Awesome phone. Just enough high-end features to make it perfectly useable at a very low price. It does everything I need it to. Not to mention, it gets updated with the latest Android before any other phone.

    I thought I would miss my Nexus 6 after buying this but I do not. The Nexus 6 is slightly larger but the Pixel 3a is so much lighter. I'm still exploring all that Android 10 has to offer. Battery life, I get 4 or 5 days of light use.

    I was a bit wary about the phone because reviews noted the slower snapdragon processor compared to the 3, but the software seems to compensate and it is snappy. Love the headphone jack. Screen seems a bit sensitive but could perhaps be adjusted.

    Bought this during last week's sale ($120 off, unlocked). Transferred everything from my old Samsung, added a few updated apps, and I was in business. Nice speed, beautiful screen, awesome camera. You can keep your $1000 iPhone.

    I like the camera and simplicity of the Google pixel. However the screed saver I purchased the same day has already cracked. The salesperson said it was guaranteed for life so I guess I need to find my recipt to get a new one.

    I have been using a Galaxy S6 edge for the last 4 years. This "mid-range" phone feels like the top notch phone out there at an incredibly affordable price. Cannot go wrong with this phone if you like me haven't updated your phone in years.
