      anshath1, 01 Jul 2020Is buying a second hand pixel a good option?If you want a good camera and excellent stereo speakers which produce beautiful bass from the songs..then go for this phone..Another good thing is it's handy..5.6 inch.
      But the battery backup is not upto the mark but still ok on regular use..

          I have had my pixel 3a for about two months and am extremely satisfied with it. The phone does everything at a brisk pace, the camera is excellent and the battery also holds up well. The feel of the phone reminds me a bit of my old Lumia 1520 and that's really not too bad.

            I bought this phone because I thought it was a good budget phone from reviews. I switched from iPhone 6s. Following are the things I didn't like about this phone at all.
            1. It makes calls to random people in my contact when I have it in my pants pocket. I did try to get help from the Google help center but there was no solution to this problem.
            2. The front facing camera is not good when making video calls. It's blurry.
            Now I am switching back to apple.

              After one month of usage: Good phone, maybe not super great. On the plus sides comes the camera and UI. Superb IQ best I've seen from a phone to this date. Easy to use, snappy performance. UI is clean and smooth. Some minor hangs, but nothing to pick on really. Fast running and easy going.
              On the minus must be the design and battery life. Design is really boring to be honest. I got the white version, and its no head turner to say the least. But who can complain, I purchased it after seeing it online only. My own responsibility. Battery life is down right embarrasing. I've owned five smartphones before and every single one of them beat the 3a. I hade bigger hopes due to relatively small screen.

              I bought this phone coming from Sony land. Wanted a smaller phone running Android and not to fragile. The plastic back and reduced Price got me hooked up. I'm also fond of having a phone thats somewhat original and unique, wich it is in my country of Sweden.

I bought this new phone 15-20 days back and m not satisfied with the battery. It keeps on draining. Don't go with the ratings of battery which are there on Flipkart. But still it depends on your current phone which you are now using and how much backup it's giving. In my case I was previously using Moto G5 plus and it was giving very good battery backup and at the end of the day the battery was around 60% unlike pixel 3a remains between 30-40%. Another downside is that pixel 3a display has yellowish tint (you can google this) and the whites don't look pure white but look off-white / yellowish and dull. The best things of this mobile are the stereo speakers and camera. You will get to hear excellent bass effect of the beats of songs. Camera takes beautiful sharp and detailed images.

                    Anonymous, 21 May 2020I heard bad battery 3x day charging ??? T/F Yes, battery is the downside of this phone otherwise everything is excellent. You have to charge it 2-3 times a day if you are a moderate to heavy user. Battery drains quickly if you are using hotspot, video call and even on simple games(not heavy games). On regular usage it will somehow last for one day. The same was not the issue with my previous phone Moto G5 plus..it also had 3000mah battery but gave very good battery backup.

                          My Google Pixel 3A has not been reliable.
                          3 weeks after buying from Carphone Warehouse in September 2019 the keyboard started to malfunction.
                          Took it back to store and they swapped it straight away.
                          In March 2020 some of the sounds started to sound corrupted. After a couple more weeks the ringing tone or alarm tone would not work via internal speaker.

                          Swapped to a spare phone and just got round to getting it repiared (under warranty) by Carphone Warehouse.

                          It is however a great phone for the price.
                          Got my wife one last August and its been fine.

                            Hey everyone,
                            I want to buy pixel 3a but confused about the reliability of pixel 3a. Can anyone suggest based on his/her experience if I should buy this or not.

                            Alternatively if not this one then pls suggest from following options:-
                            1. Redmi note 9 pro max
                            2. Redmi K20
                            3. One Plus 7T
                            4. Google Pixel 3A

                            Thnx in advance

                                    I bought a pixel 3a last year around July and thus far it has been functioning immensely although earlier this month the charger wasn't charging the phone no matter what I did, I figured it was a connection problem probably the cable shortened or something so I ordered a new cable but it would have taken a period of time to reach in my region so for the meantime, I began charging my phone with another charger the first one made it hot the second took hours to charge honestly didn't know what to do. Earlier on yesterday, I found a difference with the phone it felt weird the battery was pushing the back cover of the phone swelling it greatly. I have been digging trying to find a solution to fix this problem

                                      Recently British stores have begun to collect preorders for Sony Xperia 10 II for about $350 - and this phone looks like a closest competitor to the Pixel 3a for it's characteristics, size, 128 GB flash and IP68 rating. BUT I have lost my respect to Sony company, cause my Xperia XA2 has been 2 times already in a waranty repair (more than 2 weeks each repair in Russia) in the last year for screen replacement caused by long yellow spots on the left edge.
                                      I know this is a common issue for the "budget" IPS phones, but now Sony is went out of my trust, so I have chosen Pixel 3a although Google phones is not available in Russia unfortunatelly.

Original charger goes to 20 to 80 in 30 min. Camera is great great great. Google photos free storage top. Never problem with storage. Long screen fits Netflix expanded in excellent way. Oled is good. Dark mode excellent. Night shift on screen helps with tired eyes on the night. Speaker volume not high but excellent quality. Dragon trail screen no scratches after one year. Best phone I've ever had.
