    Definitely a very comfortable phone with a lot of features without the high price of premium phones at the end of 2021 I still like my old pixel more than my new iphone.

    This phone has a great camera and the speed is good enough. The body is made of plastic but since I use it in a case I don't think it is a problem. This was exactly what I needed.

    This phone has a great camera for taking pics and you get at least 3 years of updates. The camera for taking daytime videos is good. Taking videos at night is not that good. I have not had any issues at all with calls so call quality is good. I like the big screen. It's good for watching videos. 4 stars

    Looking for a phone that won't break the bank. Yet you want a actually good camera that can compete with the flagship phones and you want timely software updates. Look know farther this is a win. But 8f your a heavy user that plays some bigger sizes intense games I'd look elsewhere.

    This has been the best phone I've had over the yrs. It provides all the bells and whistles I need and pretty simple to operate, though there's things I've yet to utilize. Great camera and video sharpness..

    The phone was Open box - Excellent. The condition was as described. Good battery life and great camera. Only gripe not on the product but on the customer service. The price on the box was marked lower than the selling price. Best buy refused to honor the lower price marked on the box.

    For a phone in this price range to have the camera it has is unheard of. Although the back is plastic (unlike the metal backing of Pixel 3s), it doesn't feel cheap in any way and once you slap a case on it, you don't realize it.

    I previously had an iPhone and switched to this Google Pixel and so far no complaints. I thought it would be complicated since I've always had an iPhone but so far so good. The camera is better on this phone.

    I'm used to apple, so there is a little adjustment to how this works. So far, so good. Quick, easy to use, and I didn't have to pay the same amount as 2 laptop computers.

    Bought this phone for my mother in law. The camera on this phone is excellent. Since this is a google phone it came with stock Andriod and doesn't have all the annoying bloatware preinstalled.

    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.

    Moving from up for a Moto generation 1 to a Pixel 3a was a big technological jump, but it has been an easy phone to use in that regard. Love the quality of the camera. Really no complaints at all. Very pleased overall.

    Really happy with this new phone, it is perfect for someone who wants great phone features without spending a stupid amount of money. The transfer of settings from the old phone was seamless. Also, having an unlocked phone means none of the provider loaded apps that can use up space.
