    I loved this phone until about 8 months after purchase it became haunted. I don't know if it was the phone hardware, software or if plugged-in, opened spam or what. Anyway It was great tool. The camera set up is a well designed system.

    I read the reviews for the Pixel 4 and played with it for a few however was more convinced this was better for me. The camera and just overall function seems so much better, to me anyway.

    I just started using it, it seems good. I used to own Samsung Galaxy 8. So far it seems decent. I looked up reviews on YouTube before I bought it. If anything comes up I'll update this review.

    This phone is actually really great. If you dont want to get a iPhone or a galaxy this is a excellent third option. It is even better in certain aspects. Only problem is that it's not waterproof.

    Google Pixel phones are a good brand and the 'a' series like Pixel 3a and Pixel 4a are meant to be budget phones. The quality is good and the Android OS is a decent OS for the phone,

    My first 3A xl turned into a non responsive brick as soon as I left the store. Picked up the replacement today. It has a great screen, and is very responsive. You will need a case as the phone is very slick.

    I really like this phone. The picture is very clear, and it is easy to navigate. I am picky about camera quality on a phone, but this one surpassed my expectations. Super happy with this phone!

    Need to add the protective shell to get the full experience. Good graphics, antenna seems adequate for good reception. Of course having a good provider goes a long way to having good reception

    You have to have special chargers for it, the plug-in is not the same as a regular USB phone charger. Seems to have a built-in obsolescence. I'm so tired of that. If you get used to a phone you like to keep it and not have it go obsolete.

    This phone has most of the bells and whistles of a flagship phone. I don't know if I'd ever use any of the features it doesn't have, except the Pixel Buds, but I can buy those separately.

    I did a lot of research to see what was the best phone for the price and this phone lead all reviews. I was not disappointed and the phone is every bit as good as all the reviews say it is.

    a wonderfully user friendly version of a hand held computer that doubles as a communication device. it reaches the internet, AND has the ability to make phone calls as well. A truly amazing piece of technology.

    This phone has made some of my games work far faster than my Pixel 2, but also some others are laggy? I don't know how to explain this since the overall build of this phone was supposed to be better but I'm still satisfied with this phone!

    I am a Google person and adore my Acer Chromebook (#3) so why would I not move up to a Google Pixel phone? It's a match made in heaven, Best Buy and Consumer Cellular. Thank you!
