Power button above the volume rocker that makes it hard to reach? Oh dear, that's too much effort for you, aye?

      Personally, I have no interest in this phone as I only top range phones but fail to understand all the hate on this review page. Ffs it is a mid range phone with mid range specs. If you want wireless charging, etc etc go buy a high end phone for close to £1,000 and stop your whining like little "biatches".......

        I don't get this obsession with glass and metal backed phones. What is the point in having a slim phone if it needs a cover? I actually WANT a phone WITH a plastic back. But it is not this one as I need at least 256GB of storage and water/dust protection.

          Stereo recording?
          Samples kinda sounds like a garbage we heard on older Pixels, but there is still a chance it's just a bad sample video in article.

              I agree with the bezels are fine but they are bigger than most other phone even if you compare it with Xiaomi Mi A2

                And if the upcoming Mi A3 comes with NFC it can be the best phone for anyone who want pure android experience with afordable price.

                    So, no SD710 for the Pixel 3a XL... Kinda disappointed by that...even though all earlier rumours suggested as sporting sd710...

                      Anonymous, 07 May 2019because flagships like mi 9 has wireless charging and cost ... moreYeah, but that's a flagship with a flagship chip with glass on the back

                        This was a pretty forgiving review, given that there are many competitors offering better products at a lower price.

                          And i expected them to have proper dual sim..oh well...

                            nexus 4, nexus 5, nexus 6p best phones Google gave us...
                            Bring back nexus range = latest features great price/value for money.

A S10e with 5.8" only have 142mm or Mi 9SE 5.97" display with only 147.5mm of large. They have not made the least effort in design. They've gone to the cheapest thing they could find.

                                No water proofing is a killer for me, but what is wrong with a polycarbonate back? In fact, I bought the Sony XZ2 Compact partly because it had one and is thus less fragile than the XZ3.
                                As for the bezels, they are not large; that's an exaggeration.

                                  who will buy this? ok maybe americans but I find it hard to belive that Europe or Asia will jump on this phone. since will sell for like 450 euros.

                                    I like the 18:9 aspect ratio

                                      I think the Pixel 2XL would be a better deal even if it's a refurbished one

                                        Maybe I'm in the minority bit big thumbs up for the plastic body - finally a practical construction in the mid-range phones!
                                        On the other hand, the big bezels look really a bit dated. It is quite bearable in case of Pixel 3a XL, but the Pixel 3a looks really old. Some waterproofness would be nice to have, but the cost had to be cut down somewhere :(
