Google Pixel 3a hands-on: The best camera is back, but cheaper!

2019-05-07
hey guys so this is a pixel three XL and this is a pixel three Axl and you're probably wondering what the difference is here well Google has gone and decided that they wanted to make a more affordable version of the pixel three and the pixel three XL so here we are and there's really not a lot of differences here but let's get into them the first thing you probably gonna notice is that these phones are made of this polycarbonate plastic so they're not the same soft touch glass that you're getting on the pixel 3 and pixel 3 XL but that's because they're made to be a lot more low spec and low price now the pixel 3a and the pixel 3a Excel are both running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 processor so they are definitively mid-range they're not gonna be running the Qualcomm Snapdragon ain't for T 5 that you're gonna find in the pixel 3 MV pixel 3 XL but they're really made for more developing markets or people they just really want to get into the pixel ecosystem and especially take advantage of that camera and like I just said that camera is still here you're studying pretty much the exact same camera that you're getting on the pixel 3 and the pixel 3 XL and that's a huge benefit of getting these phones the pixel 3 in pixel 3 excel pretty much still have the best smartphone cameras on the market so if you're able to get those cameras at a much reduced rate that is a big plus now you're still getting 4 gigabytes of RAM just like we got in the pixel 3 and the pixel 3 XL but now you only have a 64 gigabyte storage options so if you wanted to have a little bit more storage you're not gonna be able to get that here now if we move over to the screen you're also going to notice that you're not going to have that giant mega notch that you're getting on the pixel 3 XL on the pixel 3 axl it kind of looks like a pixel 1 XL on the front so if you don't mind those bigger bezels but you still want the really amazing camera this could be a really nice phone to get no both of these phones have an OLED screen so you're still getting the always-on display you're still getting now playing if you want to hear what song is currently playing on the radio or the things you're not going to get here are water resistance and wireless charging so this phone is not gonna work on your pixel stand unfortunately if you want to get that accessory you're gonna have to get a pixel 3 or a pixel 3 XL but you still have active edge so if you want to activate google assistant without saying K G you can just squeeze the phone and it'll still work just like the pixel 3 and pixel 3 XL so ultimately if you don't mind the plastic build and you don't really need wireless charging and you also don't really mind that it's running a mid-range chip but honestly a lot of these mid-range Qualcomm chips are actually pretty good then these are a great pick up the Nexus 5 from Google also had a plastic build and that's still considered one of the greatest Android smartphones of all time and I've seen in the reddit comments and our size Android a lot of people are talking about wanting a phone with the plastic build again so this could be really cool if you want to get something like that now these phones are going to come in very similar colors to the pixel 3 and pixel 3 excel you're getting just black clearly white and there's a new color it's called purplish and so it's basically white but with a slight purple tinge it's basically the same thing that you're getting with the not pink but in a purple variety so if you want to learn more about these phones make sure you head over to android authority comm we have tons of pictures we have tons of information all the pricing specs everything over there and make sure you stay tuned to our youtube channel because we're gonna have a lot more videos from here at Google i/o and I will catch you in the next video
