Google did not pay us to make this video. They did provide the Pixel 3a and 3a seen in the video.

I'm impressed with your review! I got 3a Xl, with $250 trade in value for iphone 6s. Google is also giving $100 store credit. Their promotion is aggressive!

Ended up paying about $130

Very good review Josh. Had the 3a for a week now and what blows me away about this phone is it's ability to take night shots.

When I use night sight it makes the pictures look like they were taken during the day. Incredible.

I was soo spoiled by Nokia Lumia phones with their great cameras and now the Pixel is probably one of the best if not THE BEST phone in this price range for snapping pictures.

Pixel 3a is solid I have the Samsung Galaxy 10e which is solid as well but I finally realized what turns me off with Samsung. Copy what Andriod already offers. Bixby vs Google assistant, photo gallery vs Google photos, mail vs Gmail, Samsung app store vs Google play store. Using the Pixel 3a and pure stock Android is so smooth. Samsung stop trying to out do Android. I'm selling my Galaxy 10e .

Very good review. I like the polycarbonate build quality. Very durable & an OLED display, the 3.5 & that camera. Stock android & camera will sell this phone especially at 399.00. No other mid-ranger offers this great camera!

Nice job... But I believe the fast charger is 18 w.

[PierreLeroy]

I've looked maybe 6 or 7 reviews for this phone… You are the only one giving me the true review i want to ear: problem, mistake, software and good point. Great job !

[MrGlobaldave]

Good comments but sorry, the "second faster" for Google assistant comment is proof we all just need to slow down a bit! As for those who want here we go again...FAST charging - just remember, a battery would rather be charged (and WILL LAST LONGER)at a slow trickle than forcing the charge all at once! Would you rather be shocked by 1.5 volts or 220 Volts?(or I can get more technical about AMPS)
Love my Pixel 3a (replaced Samsung S7) for this older, take life slow & easy person!

I'm really waiting for that 6 months review, great review by the way, cheers!

A number of android phones are available and all at good prices without paying 4 figures. It's great to see all this tech in a new mobile that many will buy and use as a replacement mobile.

This is great phone for the price!! I haven't taken so many pics since I had my Nokia Lumia😀😁😃

[erikpoephoofd]

I wish they released this phone in the Netherlands... Don't they what our money?

[laurarodriguez]

Nice video! I want to switch my IPhone for this Pixel😉👌🏻

[aussierobertson]

Nice job on the video Josh, Google picked the right guy to review it. I'm for the Samsung Galaxy 10 just for the crypto wallet. Though Waiting for the price to go down, I can't justified over $1000 + au. Cheers mate.

Well done Josh 🤗.
The idea of it, to me anyway, seems to harken back to the Nexus Line.
At least to "My" 6P, that I'm Still using, and Still Love !
Low Price - Flagship Specs 😊.
Still working Great for Me !

Personally, I'm waiting for 2020, and "Hoping" it will be worth the wait 🤔!

Thanks again Josh, I really Enjoy, and Learn from You, and Appreciate that 👍

Have a Great Day 🌄,

Great review. I was initially thinking that making comparisons to a 2yo iPhone lacked relevance but for many this is their point of reference... as I type on iPhone 7! Hmmm could I really leave apple?

[AlexLopezTorres]

why do they always say "daily driver"? why can't you just call it daily phone??

[Magnetar]

Can you please tell me how many volume steps it has when connected to bluetooth?

[MrFuturehistory]

Excellent review, thanks. Glad google sent you this phone to help support you (and their sales ;)

[karl]

Only available in a few countries :( Is it a bad idea to import it to Scandinavia?

...I LIKE THE FEEL OF THE 4 HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS IN MY HAND MUCH MUCH BETTER!
