Kingslayer, 07 May 2019The smaller 3a is taller than my LG G5 and even the Samsung... moreOf course the Pixel 3 is the better phone. But without that discount, it is 529 € in Germany by resellers, just as an example. The Pixel 3a, on the other hand, will be 399 € on release, and the price will drop more in the first few months.

    Walter C. Dornez, 07 May 2019Not too bad surprisinglyBut not too good either.

    I would say the older Pixel 2/XL (especially XL) are still better options than these in the same price range.

      The smaller 3a is taller than my LG G5 and even the Samsung S8, S9, and S10.

      The height should be at 145 mm max. I like that they're offering these devices for cheap but if you took advantage of the 50% off sale on April 22 for the Pixel 3, you really don't need any of these phones. The USB-C headphones that the Pixel 3 comes with are decent. Far superior chipset too.

        Not too bad surprisingly

          Plastic back is a little bit of a disappointment, but if isn't that cheap, scratchy and bendable kind of what the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua uses, it's just about not a dealbreaker. Everything else is nice.

            "Somewhat surprisingly though" :D
            What a surprise, what a surprise... I see the first hands-on are more positive than rumour articles, Google sponsored? (jk)
            On a serious note, these look like spiritual HTC U11 Life/U12 Life successors.

              they should have done this long time ago, i hope they are good mid rangers though.

                Smaller Pixel 3a dimensions - 151.3 x 70.1 x 8.2 mm

                151.3? Look at those bezels. No thanks.
