    I have always been an Android user and dabbled in the Nexus pure play Android experience phones having had several. I strayed away and to a major branded premium phone for my last 2 handsets, and couldn't wait to get back. The Pixel 3a is a great performing phone with great battery life and fantastic camera. The camera is worth it alone. I use a case, so never see the plastic back. Pro tip: get a custom launcher to really customize your home screen, short cuts, and gestures and you won't miss the over priced premium phones.

    Unlocked Smart phone with a pure Google experience

    Android is updated sooner, from the source rather than through the vendor (e.g., Samsung) or the carrier (e.g., Verizon), either of whom adds a ton of Bloatware to your phone experience. Recently, I notice that Google are also adding unremovable bloatware in some kind of attempt to be more "user friendly." Honestly, smart phones have been around for over a decade, and we do NOT need software that cannot be removed whose sole purpose is to "help with your phone experience."

    Relatively large OLED screen, no notch and the best camera in a smartphone, all for half of what everybody else charges. Buy this phone!

    Made the switch from iPhone 6s to Android since the deal was just too good to pass up. $300 for a new premium brand was well worth it.

    I didn't buy the phone. It was a hand me down from my dad. He liked it. I have had problems being on public WiFi. Every time you put the phone in sleep mode it disconnects from the WiFi. It also freezes up a lot, and crashes. I have to restart my phone a lot. I do enjoy the full android and not a skin over android. The camera is amazing though. I've never seen photos taken on a phone look this good. It almost looks as good as the pictures taken on the 12 pro.
