Still a great phone 8 months after buying it. Awesome bang for your buck compared to the $1,000 phones out there. Snappy as heck. Everything I need in a phone.

NEED HELP!!! I absolutely hate, disappointed & underwhelmed by the front camera of the Pixel 3a XL. the overall resolution, colour, dynamic range is not up to the standards and my expectations.
Need suggestions & recommendations of any phone within its price range better than the 3a XL please?

I absolutely love my Google Pixel 3a XL! I'm in complete Stan mode over this device. The battery life is stellar, the screen is buttery smooth to scroll with and the overall Android experience far exceeds my time with Samsung phones. I think Samsung is a fine device, but there is a notable difference in the user experience with the Pixel and the Android updates are really helpful and useful (esp. since I get them much more quickly now). I will be clinging to this phone for quite some time. I actually upgraded from my Google Pixel XL and I am really glad I did! This phone hits all the high notes: pure Android OS with updates, great battery life, amazing price point for the feature set provided and excellent screen resolution with a 6 inch screen. Tough to beat this offering!

My Pixel from 2016 is still running smooth in 2020. This Pixel 3a XL still have at least 2.5 not years of updates.
I do have the Galaxy A50 too and returned it. I doubt the A50/A51 will still run as smooth with latest updates two years from now.
It might not matter if you buy a new phone every year. But Pixel and iPhone are the best choice if you want to keep the phone for a long time and still get software and security updates.

I'm so confused between 3a XL and 3XL. I'm not interested too much in the quality of the camera, so all I want to ask is: "Could this 3a XL stay alive for one day?" I don't use the phone too much in a day, only around 3-4 hours SOT (no gaming, no video capturing, just messaging, and surfing social media). Thanks!

ourbob1, 09 Oct 2019My 3 day old pixel 3a xl became a brick :( You're probably a very negligent and reckless person. You shouldn't be trusted to handle expensive devices.

I'm very interested buying this device but wondering how well is the ram management and audio for calling.

Just returned a OnePlus 7 Pro and picked up a Pixel 3a XL. Glad to be back on a Pixel, though with the plastic body it feels more like a Nexus. Just hope it doesn't crack round the buttons and ports like my old Nexus 5 did.

They lost the battle way too long ago. The battle of camera now is between Samsung-Apple-Huawei-Pixel.

Comparing the cameras on the 3a XL and the Xperia XZ3 which smartphone has the better setup in terms of better low light photos, faster autofocus, better image stabilisation, better audio recording in video, a much wider front & back cameras and overall better camera speed?
Would you say the phone is safe and won't get damaged with light rain or accidental spills of water/tea/soda?
