Thanks for the review. The no water resistant is the biggest downer for me. I almost was gonna get this after my lease was up on my note 8 but i think I'm just gonna buy my phone when lease is up. 2 years later and the note is still superior to a lot of new mid range phones
I can't wait till the full review, can I ask what's the quality of selfie pictures taken on the Pixel 3a/3a XL? And do they really have different screen ratio (18.5:9 vs 18:9)?
This phone looks great. However, my issue is PRIVACY in the Google ecosystem vs PRIVACY in the Apple system. Apple as far as I know isn't mining your data. Privacy is important. How do others feel about this? I think if there was some assurance of not using your personal data for ads or whatever, I would feel better… I know this is a general problem, but this is not a free item…
Nice review. My 3A XL shows up in a few hours. Ditching my OnePlus 6 never been thrilled with its camera or quirks. Constant call quality issues no matter what carrier. Looking forward to pure Android and frequent updates. Google just needs to figure out the easy way Apple does phone upgrades. My wife gets a new iPhone and everything including apps is copied and restored in a few minutes. Google add a expandable storage and this phone is a killer.
It bothers me when people say its plastic THEREFORE no wireless charging. The lack of wireless charging is clearly a cost cut, nothing to do with the lack of glass back. We want premium plastic phones again, htc one x is still my favourite.
What’s funny is my iPhone XR has issues with the camera. Won’t record video when you hit the button etc. I’ve seen some people complaining about it but I don’t know if it’s widespread enough for it to get bashed like the pixels
My wife and I have S7 edges…. i couldn't fathom dropping 2k to get us new phones but this reviews and price points have me wanting to go ahead and pull the trigger.
Headphone jack, no nutch, stereo speakers, top of the line camera…I'm definitely sold. Just one question: What was Google thinking about that ugly notch on the Pixel 3? Anyway I'm glad they realized their mistake.
This was a good plan by Google. I have to admit. Get all those people holding out on upgrading due to Apples skyrocketing prices and give then a reason to buy another phone on Google's ecosystem. With these being on practically all the carriers will make these sell real well.
Plastic is more durable than metal or glass. No one ever heard of a bending phone until they made them from metal. No one ever was called an idiot for carrying a phone in their pocket until they started bending. Apple said they were making theirs out of metal to make it more "jewelry like" to justify the high price they were charging. Yay for them, then Android oems are like, everyone wants metal phones. Now they are making phones all glass. Idiotic, lol. Tip, make the battery removable
Right now we can all agree the phone business is moving way too fast, or at least in the asian market it is, so google is just making a move to test the market…
This is the phone I think I've been waiting for since my Nexus 6p died starting to feel happy with Android again. Google did it right this time mostly.
I've had the notch on my 3 XL concealed from developer settings since day one. I've recently turned off everything "digital well being" related and have noted a marked improvement in performance, give it a try.
Google should follow Amazon's philosophy, and that is to "operate at a loss" in some departments, and making it up in other departments. Google could totally flood the market with these suckers if they had better marketers. Making this thing $200, and it will be in everybody's hands. And for that kind of price, most people won't even bother putting a case on it, and their phone will be slimmer as is.
So now that you've watched the video and seen the phones — what do you think? Did Google do a good job with the Pixel 3a series? Let's discuss!

Heh, $700 in Sweden…
I'll get the Moto G7Plus instead
just get a Mi A2
the iPhone 5c meets the Pixel 2…
Redmi k20 apparently has Snapdragon 855 and will cost less than 300
Sorry, I had to up the playback speed for this video, cuz…we’ll….you know.
Remember when all phones were plastic and nobody gave a shit?
I'm watching This video on my Pixel 1XL. Nearly fourth generations old and still running smooth and snappy.

My iPhone 8+ bent in half, so I'm using an iPhone 6 currently. Done buying 900 dollar phones. This 3a will feel crazy fast in comparison
Is there a finger print sensor on the pixel 3a
Love my Pixel 3a! I don't feel it is an inferior device in any way. Oh and I certainly don't miss the $1000.00 price tag.
It's on every carrier not just Verizon

Google did plastic right on this phone. It isn't that cheap hollow plastic that Samsung was known for.
The 3a is light yet has a substantial feel to it. Solid build . Feels like an old Nokia Lumia.
I actually preferred metal phones but this one has changed my mind .
As long as they can make the plastic of a high quality then it's all good.
I'm debating about trading in my 7 plus. The only thing that holds me back is the lack of waterproofing.

Can totally see upgrading my One plus 5t to this because headphone jack.?

What about the AR and ML chips/features?
Excelent presentation. Any dual sim? if not…..hello Xiaomi and others 🙂
What a hell of a review… This is how it's supposed to be done… Amazing ?
This would be an instant sell with 128GB. 64 isn't enough.

Who really cares about plastic? Dont people uses cases anyway?
Do you think the 3a has better graphics overall than the 3axl?
Just get the 3axl it’s MUCH better
Nice shots of London
The 3a phones pretty much give a reason why not to get the premium pixel phones. Great review on the 3a/3aXL
Who cares about glass …. Shit breaks for nothing as long as the plastic is durable n still looks good I'll take it
Great start for a Nexus 5 type affordable stock android phone. I would pay $100-$150 more for 6g RAM, 128 g HD and a Audio DAC.
This is the phone I think I've been waiting for since my Nexus 6p died starting to feel happy with Android again. Google did it right this time mostly.
In India pixel 3a is selling for 40000rs(571 $USD)
The Pixel 3a price is 600 USD in countries that have high end budget smartphones at 200 USD.
Too bad Pixel will remain a niche.
Wish metal builds like HTC One series would make a return.
I've had the notch on my 3 XL concealed from developer settings since day one. I've recently turned off everything "digital well being" related and have noted a marked improvement in performance, give it a try.
Glass is the dumbest material to use in the rear of a phone
The bezels make me sad, but I like the price.
Add $300 to that $399.00 price point and that's what they're going to charge down here in Australia.
We're being totally rorted down here.
HEY MAN WHATS THE NAME OF UR TV U HAVE IN UR BACKROUND I WANT TO GET 1 I LIKE THE WIDENESS N COLORS WOW ,,THANX
