If your looking for a great deal on a new phone then this could be it!! This phone is fast, takes great pictures has a great battery and the ease of use is a plus. This phone is under valued for what you get.
Recommend!!!

I switched to Android and this Pixel from being a lifelong apple person and I could not be happier. This phone is fast, has an amazing camera and is easy to use. High recommend for a great deal and if someone doesn't want to pay the 1000 dollars for an apple phone. The phone also charges fast and holds charge well and I have owned for just about a year now!

We bought this camera for my husband as his just flat out gave up the ghost. He loves the larger size as he can see the screen better. He uses it for a great deal of online researching, maintaining his eBay account, GPS for his work as he drives to different destinations on a regular basis and of course, and he likes the sound quality. He is happy about it's ease of use and long battery life. Caught it on sale so it was a good deal. He loves his new phone and shows it to everyone.

My mother's Moto G6 was an unlocked phone and after 1 year it started to show many quirks. Sometimes it wouldn't charge, it would randomly shut down and wouldn't provide touch tones for certain numbers while going through an automated phone menu system.
After hearing her complain enough, I was on the lookout for a replacement.
I myself have a Pixel 3 and enjoy it. So when the Pixel 3a XL Unlocked went on sale, I snatched it up quickly. Many others must have had the same idea, because only the Purple-ish color was available from the web order. The color is quite subdued. From afar, it looks very close to white. Up close, it's a very light purple.
In my hand, it's a sturdy phone. I was pleased that there is no notch for the cameras as the Pixel 3 XL possesses. So far, it's been solid with no quirks.
If it goes on sale again, I'd be very tempted to pick it up for the rest of the people on my Verizon family share plan.

I upgraded from the Google pixel 2. I was interested in the pixel 3, but the Pixel 3a had bigger discounts for Black Friday. So I gave it a go. My favorite feature is the bigger and brighter screen. It is a huge improvement over the pixel 2. The form factor is an improvement too. The haptics on this phone feel the same as Google pixel 2. Excellent for a mid range phone.
It doesn't include wireless charging.
I have never used that feature. You get a headphone jack instead of a water resistance rating. I'd call that a good trade. I can't say I notice a performance decrease from the 835 snapdragon chip. I am pleased with the purchase and I can see using this phone as my daily driver for the next two years. Thanks Best Buy. I prefer buying phones at Best buy over Verizon. I find their offers less confusing. Best buy doesn't link their prices to gimmicky upgrades in plans like Verizon. I find them more straight forward and I appreciate that

Good phone for the price you pay. Not the greatest phone of all time, but for the price you pay, it's a great phone. Have enjoyed it since I got it. Good speed and awesome pics and good size. Payed less than $300, two thumbs up!!

This phone has proven a great value. So far its performance has held up longer than previous phones I've owned (galaxy 5, galaxy 8) and still feels refreshing to use. The missing water resistance and lack of wireless charging hold it back from a more "premium" feel, but you couldn't argue with the price and performance that it delivers.

I especially like it charges quickly. Battery doesn't seem to drain like my other phone. Nice size also. Very few apps on the phone also.

We purchased 3 of the Google Pixel 3a. So far, I can't think of anything negative to say! I give my phone a pretty good workout everyday and so does my teenage daughter! No glitches or hesitation at all. It was so easy to set up, too! This phone takes beautiful photos and is a great value for the price!

People like to say things like, "for the price this phone can't be beat." I would say for 2x the price it could not be beat. I use my phone a lot for talking, texting and watching shows. The battery life is great, the camera is awesome and everything just works. I highly recommend it.

I bought the Pixel 3 XL in November for myself and my mom needed a new phone for herself so I bought this 3a XL for her recently. She normally buys whatever’s cheap and I got tired of having to fix all her problems with her phones so I wanted a pure Android phone for her. Got it all set up for her and she loves it. Nice screen and easy to set up. Great device!

I have finally upgraded to a real phone. My 'free' phone had no memory and the camera was always blurry. Now I can run lots of apps and the camera is great. I can't compare it with equal phones but I like it and the price was reasonable.

Bought this phone for my wife almost a year ago and she loves it. I do too. It's faster and it seems to take better pictures than my Pixel 2XL. The built in assistant that connects to the smart home. I'd highly recommend this phone for the price, quality and the built in assistant.
