Though looks like a great phone at first sight, the Pixel 3a is still overpriced. There are many far better phones (at least in specs) in this price range.

Nobody:
Google: "You want the best point-and-shoot camera on your phone but can't afford our overpriced Pixel 3? Well here it is, the stripped down version of our Pixel 3, made with less premium materials and slower processor. Yes it's still slightly overpriced compared to Chinese phones, but you'll get the exact same camera as our latest flagship Pixels!"
In all honesty the Pixel phones are all about the camera, you're getting 2018 flagship level camera at just ~$399; everything else doesn't really matter to most people (not talking about you tech enthusiasts) because the Pixels are known for their CAMERA, not bleeding edge bezel-less display and hardware design. For those saying you should get a Pixel 2 instead - you people are missing the point, yes the Pixel 2 and 2 XL indeed have better hardware but these 2 phones came out in 2017 and you're supposedly going to receive longer updates and support with the 3a.
Yes you can get a discounted 2018 flagship Chinese phones (OnePlus or Xiaomi) with better hardware at somehow similar price but you're not going to get a flagship-tier camera on those phones. Install Gcam? Sure, but only if you don't mind spending extra time fiddling with your phone because the app isn't working correctly. Gcam on non-pixel phones is just a buggy, laggy mess.
There's no IP rating albeit understandable due to the price point, the SD 670 will do fine for average people unless you do heavy games, lots of editing and switch back and forth between them. I do however wish that Google would have waited for SD 730 instead of rushing to launch the product just because the Pixel 3 isn't selling well. Also Google should have made the 3a as the compact midrange version of the Pixel 3 just like what OnePlus did with their OnePlus X with much less smaller screen and overall size (looking at ~5.2" display).
$400 midranger with arguably the best and most consistent camera, OLEDs, advanced x-axis haptics, active edge, stereo speakers and a freakin headphone jack, I mean what more could you ask for? cheaper price? Well, this is made by Google phone, not Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei or Nokia.

Ashish , 08 May 2019Its over priced, It has great software features but some of... more 360 EUR for one of the best camera and unlimited photo backup in high quality is very very OK!!!
Are you not tired of all these Chinese garbage phones? where you get supper hardware with garbage software?
Don't you prefer a good daily driver who help you perform all tasks in good conditions and more easy beside saying I have more RAM more cores and you write a phone number manually(like 10 years ago...) when on a pixel you just open the camera and call directly...
when google maps share all public contacts with the calling app so you can search directly(not to open the maps... copy the number... bla bla bla) or use the assistant to make a call at a hair salon(phone number public on maps) for you?
and more and more and more...

I was hoping it would be a normal size phone, and not another tablet...

Too expensive, battery too small. You can buy the Mi 8 for £399, I got mine for £299 in their sale.
This feels more like a £250 phone to me. Let's wait until the battery benchmark tests and real world feedback is in, but I can't imagine it's going to be too competitive.

There are better options/alternatives at this price...
In my country, the xiaomi mi 9 is cheaper than this 'budget' smartphone with the latest specs.
Disappointing Google.
Honestly, no one apart from smartphone camera enthusiasts should even bother to consier buying this phone

I really had some expectations from this phone. Why did they had to make it bigger than pixel 3? Also the screen doesn't respect any standard 16:9 or at least 18:9. The audio jack is outdated i cant see any reason for which they brought it back, at least without it there would be a lower production cost, its price is high enough as it is. I'm going for a Nokia, maybe next year @Google you will create a Pixel 4 Lite as you were supposed to!

Welcome to 2018 Google!
Mark my words @Google...
Both the phones are gonna be a massive flop in India!
How dumb do you think people are?
Are you kidding with the specs for such a price tag with a fat-a** chin and bezel?
