PIXEL 4 vs PIXEL 3a [*Side by Side for 7 Days*] - Honest Comparison

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

A strange comparison, I know, but I thought it was interesting. Which do you prefer and why? Is it worth the upgrade?

Agreed. Excellent phone for the price, but if you need more power, the Pixel 4 is a clear choice

[@bobmartin2513]

This is a great review! I have an iPhone 11 and a Pixel 3a. Both are silky smooth and fast. I've been an iPhone user for the last 10 years, and I must admit that the 3a has impressed me big time! My memory of Android was clunky bloat heavy software. That's not the experience I had with this one. This 3a holds it's own against any phone on the market, even my iphone 11. The Play Store has improved immensely since the last time I played with Android. Nowadays the experience is pretty much the same! I have no regret in getting the 3a. This phone is awesome! Between the 4 and the 3a I'd take the 3a because it's more bang for your buck. Most of those additional "cool" features are gimmicks. Not worth double the price to swing at air to swipe! lol The 3a is less than half the price of flagship phones, and just as smooth and silky in performance. I got it in "just black", and put a sexy black case on it I got from Amazon for about $3.50. You can't go wrong with either the iPhone 11 or the 3a, but the 3a is much cheaper. Love both! If you're an Android lover and think you're settling for less with the 3a, you're wrong! It's a dope phone.

[@yeetiesandwheaties]

It's really simple to me. If you don't mind missing a few features and materials, get the 3A. If you want the better device, get the 4.

Everyone worries to much about bezels on phones, most phones have them and your not looking at the bezels when you watch a video or a movie. And the 64 gigs is plenty for most people because all of my pictures are automatically saved on the Google cloud and Verizon's cloud which frees up a lot of space.

Serious question. What is the main difference with iMessage in daily use and messaging? As a permanent Android user, I'm curious what the big deal is.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

I think group messaging is a big factor for some people. Edit: now that Microsoft integrates with Android phones and allows you to text from your laptop, that eliminates what used to be a MAJOR difference between Apple and Android

[@battlepowered]

ilikevideos the experience. It’s a lot smoother than regular mms. Messages seem to go through quicker and you always have a confirmation your message was delivered or read. Also, attaching videos, images and links is much more fluid. On top of that, you get video previews within iMessage instead of having to open the link or KZbin channel it plays in the message which is very convenient. So for me it’s reliability. Now I’m not knocking Android, because it has come a long ways. But even with RCS recently added to google messaging, and a slew of features, it’s still not quite on iMessages level.

Just bought open box 3a Xl on eBay$265. Absolutely love it!!! Battery too small on pixel 4!!! DAMN Google

[@shaggysmurf4422]

I've been waiting 6 years to upgrade my phone. That's right. The Pixel 3a caught my eye, but I'm a fan of speedy hardware that I've never had. I don't really care much for the camera, I'd be happy with the 5MP res from my 5th gen iPod. But I have to ask myself, do I REALLY need the Snapdragon 855? Probably not. I have a Moto E, so the Snapdragon 670 would feel like a rocket to me. Looks like I have my answer. Flagship experience at budget price, Pixel 3a it is.

[@drytoast4023]

Do you thing that the price will drop to the same as the google pixle 3 in the next 2 or 3 month's

[@JosSerr-mw9fc]

I have both pixel 3a and 4 and honestly the difference to most people won't be much, but to me camera is a lot better specially in astrophotography and portraits thanks to that 2nd lens... And i got myself the 4 cause it was at 400$ on t mobile and i cracked the screen of my 3a... so it was a no brainer Battery does take a hit since its smaller and its running a more powerful device but its really not that much and it charges pretty fast... Wireless charger and an ip rating is good and the overall performance is faster, you really notice it when you multitasking a lot. For 800$ its too much, but getting it with specials like that one its a steal... And the comfort of a small phone is priceless... Not many powerful phones like that these days not everyone wants to have a giant phone

Pixel 4 for me.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Which color?

[@senjubabaaaa]

oh so orange

@@senjubabaaaa better get it now its limited edition but for me I like the look of my black pixel 4 more it's Soo clean for me easily the best looking smartphone right now.

[@lordkent8143]

Pixel 4 is like 2-3 times more than a pixel 3a. If you're willing to deal with a slightly slower, (A-) Camera, and a cheaper feel, I would highly recommend the 3a for its value. Same great pixel experience without the huge price tag. Realistically, even if I had the money, I would still say that the pixel 4 still doesn't merit it's price. I would only pay $550 at the most for it.

[@payman1023]

$799 is not "over $800", please don't mislead people.

[@davidmartrano1549]

I paid 4oo.oo bucks tax included with my 3a XL 6 most ago. It backs up my S10+. Of course the S10+ is faster but not by that much. The 670processer works admirably, no lags or stutters. You want a great 📷, both 3a's are very well equipped? These are still great phones in 2020? Especially if you like 📷 features!

[@sonnee44]

I'm using pixel 3a now, and it's awesome

[@Utoo4200]

Got my 3a a week ago upgrading from a Samsung a8 I loved and it's been a nice change the phone is awesome and with it only have a QC 670 it's nice and smooth and ofc the camera

[@zzzepps]

I don't know if the price dropped or if it just costs less in Germany but here the 4 costs like 400 - 500 and the 3a costs 200 - 300

[@matos2003]

Is it worth to upgrade from 3aXL to 4XL? Honest and accurate recommendations. Thank you.

[@ShimmeringSword]

Flagship phones aren't worth it unless you're a power user. Such as taking tons of photos/video for work, lots of gaming, etc. Your average user has no use for a premium phone other than to flex their wallet. Wait for a Pixel 4aXL.

[@j.d.5709]

Idk why google changed the back of the Pixel imo th Pixel 1,2, and 3 designs with the 2 tone design made it unique and stand out from all the single colored slabs out there.

[@Tyler-ck9kk]

No reason to get the P4/P4 XL when the P3a/P3a XL exist.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Plus one vote for the 3a series!

[@patcola7335]

The pixel 3a is the best true bang for your buck mid range phone we can get in the US . An excellent phone and 7 months later still no stutters and lags like every other Android phone I had previously.

[@payman1023]

You mean no reason that you can think of. In reality, there are many reasons to get the 4 XL over the 3A.

[@km76]

Am I correct in understanding, Google have dropped the 'unlimited picture/video storage' for the Pixel range from 4 onward? To me, that's important - so I daresay I'll to stay with my Pixel 3.

Still rocking my 3axl and love it

[@themandalorian7352]

My 3a still rocks until now....but the reason was that i dropped it on the edge very hard without a proper drop protection case....and it broke the screen part inside...;((. Besides that, it's as smooth as when i judt bought. It's definitely on the level of some 10years reliable phone.

Let’s be honest the pixel 4 lineup is better, but for the money the 3a lineup is a cracking phone. All depends on your budget.

Get my pixel 4XL for 640 euros. I am so happy + free insurance for damage or theft. And the bezels on the 3a are too big. And I love the 90 Hz Display. Never want back to 60 Hz haha.
