Just imagine Pixel camera + 5x optical zoom and an ultra wide angle camera. I think if google would add 2GB more RAM and a telephoto and ultrawilde camera, could at least sell some Pixel 3 devices. For real you can buy a Pixel 3 XL for 550€ (from retailer) in my region and still people avoid it, maybe 20€ investigation could help google to sell their devices for 100€ more, and maybe people would buy 'em.

So the two screen ratios are 18.5:9 and 18:9
I would prefer 21:9 which is big screen cinema ratio.

Waste of time and money.
There are so many better and cheaper phones out this have no practical use.
But suit your self.

Google has become the ultimate scam company. The Phone they launched a few months ago is a mid range device sold at flagship prices. This is a lower mid range device, to try get their unfiltered hate speech delivery service out to more people.
#DontBeEvil Remember those days, Google?

Please bring grey/ash like backplate color similiar to iphone 6s Black front and not pure white but silver/grey back). though, more lighter pink than pixel 3 will also do the job.

I will go for max $350 for this midranger if they include earphone in the box and oled display. otherwise, i think, pixel 3 or 2 is better than spending $400-500 especially when pix3 is already available at $599.

If this ends up with a similar camera experience with Pixel 3 at about 400 dollars it will be great.
I could see myself getting one.
If it ends up at around 500+ it would be a very hard sell since Xiaomi and OnePlus are already there with a camera experience that's decent already and other high end features too.

Hope they release this under $300 or they'll have a tough time competing with Chinese brands

Google pixel 3 is already a midrange phone for the price of a flagship, pixel 3a will be surely a budget phone for the price of a midrange phone.
Well done google, 3d gen. pixel phones are just horrible. Continue like this and you’ll join HTC and Sony.

When Google gave up its Nexus series, I felt strange as Nexus line was so popular, and top~mid-tier seems to the mainstream of smartphones - affordable but powerful. After a few years of pushing premium phones, Google suddenly aimed at mid-tier market again, but with weaker specs while there are more competitors in the market. Many people emphasized stock android is unrivaled in every aspects. Well, stock android is the best IMO, yet I do not think customers in some markets can accept the extra costs. I cannot see a easy win of Google over other cheaper brands.

Their S10e is a shove in the right direction. Wish Google had a 4.8inch, a 5.8 inch and a 6.2 inch set. You'd think that their goal of being reference hardware makers would lend itself to the experiment.

Not a fan of stock Android, but I was hoping with the Pixel 3 -- 5.5 inches, 68mm wide -- one-handed phones will return. With the 3a promising similar dimensions, I don't think it won't set any cat among the 6+inch pigeons dawdling about in the name of mobility. Unless the iPhone SE 2 rumours where they bung in a 5.42-inch screen into a footprint similar to a 5s/SE are real... But that's still 2020. If that doesn't take off, and Android OEMs don't follow the lead, then I must accept I am the only idiot in the world who thinks a mobile phone should be compact to aid with the mobility.

Looks like when Google finally releases these phones they will be completely obsolete in terms of design and have a lot of competing models from Huawei and Honor.

I decided I won't wait on this and will try to find a brand new first generation Pixel on eBay.
The first generation Pixel which I had owned for 6 months before has a headphone jack and a metal back. If I can get a 128 GB in black for $200, the merrier. I know it's nearly three years old but I specifically want it because I love the shape of that phone. It was very comfortable to hold.
I don't want to spend $400-$500 for a midrange SoC. The og Pixel and Pixel 3 have the same amount of RAM. And my Essential Phone which had Snapdragon 835 is slightly slower opening magazines in pdf form compared to my LGs which had SD820. If I get the og, I can keep it at Pie. I don't see anything I want from Q.
Android Pie is the perfect software version for me. I know some hate it but I love it. I don't want Google to mess things up with Android Q. This Pixel 3a is a waste of money if anything higher than $300. Stick to only flagship SoCs even if it's an older one.
