If you have the patience, maybe the 3a will come down in price coming months, but I wouldn't count on it too much.

If you're more bothered about money then you've probably got a cheaper phone and will use the 3.5mm jack. Even if you don't want wireless sound yet you can use the adaptor that comes in box until you're ready. Y'all die and make a big fuss like you'll never be able to have headphones again but it's stupid imo.

@@ayasinx8797 I never said earbuds I said wireless. I myself own the WH-1000XM3 headphones which are excellent, with no latency and about 35 hours of listening.

Arun S, Yah if I could control rewind, I would want FORTNITE and MARK-ASS BROWNIE

[@errsta]

As a parent of multiple children, this is my go to phone...for them. I do want a bit more performance so I'll get a true flagship for me. My previous go-to would have been a used/refurbed older generation pixel. Compromises in the right places for the experience they want at a price I'll gladly swing. PS. Not that you need my validation, but it's no accident you're in your spot. You are so good at these tech reviews. Keep on keepin' on!

[@andredossantos2233]

SpreckleFloss you shouldn’t really get your children new phones every two years, I’m 15 and I’ve had the same phone for 4 years

[@josharntt]

I agree, with the go to phone for children, not the being a parent of them part. Depending on the parents I would suggest it for them too, my Mom definitely cares more about the camera in her phone than the speed, the maybe half second speed difference for half the price on the Pixel 3 is very compelling.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

As a parent of multiple children, you really musn't get them all their own new phones if they are under 13, and if they are over 15 they should get it themselfs. Also why would you need more performance? The only ever use is if you constantly play new games... Nothing else needs better performance

[@omit4727]

Get a cheap 150$ xiaomi phone for your children those are great for the money

[@Incognitoblue]

Your children are definitely spoiled, have them get it for themselves or get them something more affordable.

[@real_kumo]

I'm still here with my OG Pixel, its life still going strong.

[@ithehappy1]

Same, the OG XL here. Two years and above, still getting almost 4-5 hours of SoT too. LMAO. Keep checking at these new phones though, the 3a does look good but something feels still off, like even if the camera photo quality was totally identical with the Pixel 3, I would have considered. But zooming in, one should be able to notice the minor details lost on the 3a photos, along with the cooler/bluish colour output too, which looks terrible. The video quality too isn't the same. And the front camera is basically really poor compared to Pixel 3. So the cameras are NOT really identical. I wonder how better these cameras are at night time compared to our OG Pixels, because I can bet at daytime OG and Pixel 3 will be pretty much indistinguishable.

[@burgereagle9310]

In a nutshell, Pixel 3a is a very slick phone for a low budget / medium specs Android phone. I gotta say, having switched from an S9+, I enjoy the battery life immensely.

Always a great review 👍 I'm in Ireland and I'm on Vodafone and I've been looking at three different phones Samsung Galaxy A41/A21s & The Pixel 3a, the Samsung phones don't have perfect reviews so I'm kind of looking at the Pixel right now, I was going to get a Samsung phone but then I seen reviews so I'm not now.

[@richardclarke9966]

[@maxtlg1153]

Because that depends on the carrier lol

[@PGHammer21A]

I have never had any issues with my 3a in that area; however, I have not been to West Virginia with it. (Parts of West Virginia are problematical for cell reception - period.)

[@aquafresh3150]

Nobody calls each other anymore grandad

[@Huddygaming14]

I agree with this. I want them to make a call. It does change based on carrier, but the one plus 3t had call issues. Wish I would have known. I don’t want to buy a phone if I can’t hear someone call me.
