Google support is non-existent and don't really care that I paid $350 a year ago for this phone to be ruined by them. Pretty frustrating.

Bought in July 2019, an update bricked my audio after numerous repairs, calls/ texts Google tech support and finally getting a refurbished phone after less than 9 mos of usage. Cut to May 2021, another update and it bricked my signal and network. Love the phone not the updates. It's now a paper weight...what a shame. Sometimes slower updates gives companies time to iron stuff out...next phone will have a lite weight skin OnePlus or Samsung

phyllis rop, 09 Apr 2021how's the battery and speed?I usually get the whole day out of it with light to medium use. In heavier use, like music, bluetooth, google maps, screen on a decent (possibly full) brightness, I can get probably get 3-4 hours, maybe a bit more.

G.G, 30 Nov 2020S8 or 3a?I used both phones (currently using the 3a actually) and i would say you should go for the 3a. Crazy good camera (same level as i11p), good performance (i didn't see any difference with the s8) and best UI, so easy to use.

I have been using P3a for one year.
Today, the energy ran out in minutes. I loaded up to 60% and it was 0% in a few minutes. Although until then everything worked fine.
I didn’t even manage to figure out what happened. Has anyone had this?

bad phone. so bad!!!
1. very fragile + bad hardware. i have internal screen damage out of nowhere, after 4-5 months of use. phone did not fall, and at any rate always with a case and screen protector on.
2. bad speakers- low sound in calls / ringtones / etc.
3. bad screen brightness. you can't see anything outside in the sun.
4. battery isn't that good compared to other phones in that range.
5. price is too high for what you get, i guess it's because of the camera.
only good things are the camera and the size of the phone,
but what good is it enjoying them for 5 months then the phone is dead and requires fixing in half the price of the phone itself???

Another update, another no-new-fixes... So the Pixel 5 had the Dialler dial-tone issue fixed (where the dial tones were always max volume regardless of system volume). The 3a had a 33MB update waiting for it - I installed immediately, but issue remains unresolved.
I think the 3a is now fully in the back-burner at Google, just getting security updates and nothing else.
I upgraded from a Galaxy S6 which I used for over four years. I moved to a Pixel for the updates, hoping to use a decent phone as long as my S6. But like I've said, what's the point if the updates don't fix things (and sometimes make things worse)?
While the S6 was a flagship, and the 3a is a mid-ranger, the only thing I have liked the 3a for is night photography. The 3a software remains unpolished after over a year of ownership and more often than not I am quite disappointed (Photos losing unlimited cloud storage, Play Music now unusable, Recorder has been broken on the 3a for three months now, and the Dialer situation...). And that list grows every month. I might just downgrade (or upgrade, depending on how you see it) back to my old S6 which I fixed fully and retired...
