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.

    Have been an iphone enthusiast all my life. This phone offers something similar, with easy transition into Google's world. My only issues is about privacy issues with Google. I guess thats the same with apple too, but this seemed far more access by 3rd party apps.

    Very happy with this phone. Wish I had gotten it earlier. Super fast gaming, fast uploads, and unlike my prior phone, I actually get my calls instead of calls going to voicemail. Using in T Mobile in the Milwaukee and Madison Wisconsin area.

    Great phone, I just wanted to upgrade to the Pixel 4 so I just passed it down to my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it, her vision isn't to good nowadays and the screen on the pixel 3A XL is large enough for her to see everything.

    Phone is fast enough to handle every day use; web browsing, pictures, call/text, nav, etc. Haven't noticed any lag or stuttering. Camera is fantastic, battery life is phenomenal, usually get two days.

    Got this phone when it was very cheap to get me by until 5g is mainstream. Needed an excellent camera which it provides. Nightshots are excellent. Something my cameras and old Samsung couldn't do. Disappointed with how low phone call volume is but I primarily use a Bluetooth headset so problem solved.

    Bought as a replacement phone for my Note 8 after it died. Though this would be a good temporary phone to use until stores opened back up and I could shop for something better. Ended up really liking this phone. No need to keep shopping.

    Great battery life. Needs case asap. Feels like a fall will break it easily. Camera is by far the best smartphone camera I have used. Decent processing speed, but do need to hard reset every once in a while if I overwhelm it with apps. Does slow down if so

    I really like this phone, I do. The camera is amazing and it has a tone of really cool features. However, whenever I try to record a video for Instagram or TikTok my mic is so quiet you can't even hear me. This doesn't happen in the camera app, but I can't upload anything to TikTok with my voice now.

    Outstanding phone. Best Buy did a great job delivering The phone to us at a great price. Setting up the phone it was OK but it still meant calling Verizon with the identity of the phone.

    The Goggle pixel is by far one of the best phones on the market! Picture Quality is out of this world. Worrying about storage is a thing of the past. Crisp Calls. Good speaker volume. The ease of connectivity to other devices is seamless.

    I migrated to this phone from a Samsung Galaxy Note. Loved the fingerprint sensor that is very accurate and easy to use. The phone is otherwise very sturdy, reliable and practical. Love it!

    I love this phone! I recently switched from an iPhone and couldn't get used to the Samsung S10+ software. The stock Android was a better beginning and the camera on this phone is awesome!!

    I like being able to use my finger an pins instead of always using user I'd and password to login. The only thing I do not like is not being able to go back in forth between bank and calculator to compute something, otherwise I like the phone.
