I had a 2XL for a year on launch, it really is a pretty poor phone. Even when it was released the display and speakers were terrible. Now a couple of years later it's just bad in comparison to modern handsets. The fact that it's defeated by what is effectively a mid ranger says it all.

One of the big differences not mentioned in your video is that pixel 2 XL has visual core chip, while pixel 3a XL doesn't. Pixel 3a XL has Titan m security chip while pixel 2 xl doesn't. Not sure if it means anything for everyday use. I find it interesting that you find white contrast balancing on pictures better on 3a, since Pixel Visual Core is supposed to aid in faster and better HDR processing.

Great video, as always! There are a few things I'd like to add. First, the Pixel Visual Core. It's on the Pixel 2 XL. This means, the photos will process much faster, as there is a dedicated processor for this. The 3a will take a little more time. Next, repairability. The 2 XL, and 3a series, are some of the most repairable devices on the market. Parts are plentiful, and swapping a screen is a breeze. And, finally, ROM support. The 2 XL has a healthy development community. One only needs to view XDA threads to find this. With the Google variant being bootloader unlockable, you can easily extend the life of the device by years, once Google stops supporting it. The 3a series has some support now, but as time goes by, it will get a lot better. Again, great video!

Due to damage to my pixel 2xl and being out of the states I had no choice but to go with a 3a. I bought the 3a xl for 479.00 thankfully it was a non Verizon version with the eSim enabled so I can use Google Fi. I love it, and honestly your review is spot on. The Audio and display is better, I prefer not having the curved bezel as the issue with my 2xl is the adhesive coming unglued due to that curve.

BIG thing to consider if you use social media a lot - no visual core. On my 2XL, my snapchats and instagram stories look as good or better than that on an iPhone, whereas the 3a will have similar quality to a Samsung - and that's not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination

One other difference to note: The Pixel 2 XL gives you original quality Google Photos without counting against your drive storage until 2021--this means you can keep all your 1080p, 60fps videos or 4k videos at 60fps & 4k, respectively. The 3a and 3a XL do not offer this perk. If you take a lot of photos, and especially videos, the 2 XL can save you money by allowing a smaller google drive subscription (if any at all). This holds for any video uploaded from the Pixel 2 XL--even if you just transferred files to it from another source to upload (which I have done).

Watching this on my Pixel 3a XL. I briefly had the 3a from a Craiglist transaction but after going from the Pixel OG XL the 3a felt too narrow and I wanted feel the 3a XL. I eventually sold the 3a and bought a 3a xl from someone else, totally worth it. The extra 700 mah of battery make it worth it, more battery, more enjoyment! People say get the 3 XL because they're throwing discounts or 2 XL for the price but the 3a XL has longevity and most importantly a HEADPHONE JACK. I know a lot of people can live and make do without it but I still want and prefer it. Who knows, maybe the Pixel 4 or 4a might come up with it. I don't know why they don't just leave it on there. What space are they trying to save and maximize by getting rid of the headphone jack? I wish the 3a had a 128gb option and extra wide selfie but its the 'budget" version after all and had to make some compromises. In all honesty, the Zenfone 6 is right up there for me but the Google software is something I want after having a Pixel for a while.

I had that choices too when I was trying to decide between the 2xl or the 3a xl. I couldn't decide between going for a slightly faster phone in 2xl or the bigger battery in 3a xl. But the thing that got me to choosing the 3a xl is the battery. I like the flat screen better also. I am not a gamer and don't worry to much about how fast a phone is. The 3a xl is great. It may not have the greatest specs for any flagship but that battery life is amazing. I compared the screen of the regular 3 xl to the 3a xl and the 3a xl is way brighter. I don't like how the regular 3xl has this yellowish/orange tint on their screen. The flat screen is easier to type messages on and of course having one of the best camera in the market helps too. I take this phone over any of the all screen/curve display they have now. The only thing is I wish the bottom bezel is a little thinner. I prefer bezel on my phone for easy hold but that bottom bezel is a little too thick and a wasted space. Should of put the speaker there instead. But overall the 3a xl is a better buy. If you are not a heavy user of your phone, this phone can last 1 and a half to 2 full days. For a phone that does what it "NEEDS" it is a great phone.

I did get my 2 xl new in box for 237. And the front facing stereo speakers and high resolution screen. And updates. I'm on Android 10 right out of the box. So far no crazy screen mess ups. And am hoping for none. The hue when off center is no biggie. I rarely,if ever, watch the phone from the side. But honestly, it was the phone plus the price that took it. I was on the fence between this new for 237, or the LG v40 for 249, new in the box. And as for the speakers. I'm coming from an Alcatel idol 4s, with the best speakers I've had on a cell phone. So the 2xl is a little mild and disappointing. But everything else is great so far. Good comparison though. Cept u didn't do any 3a XL shots. Thanks

So, would you say is it safe to say that the Pixel 3A & 3a XL is absolutely safe for light rain and accidental water spills especially with its ports? Is battery life really that good I.e. will last the whole day? (Was underwhelmed with the 3 XL battery life)

I was favoring 3a XL but the lack of 128GB storage option is a huge deal breaker for me. sorry 3a XL. blame Google for not giving you enough storage

Google only do these fantastic promotions in North America. In the rest of the world the handsets are hardly ever discounted, and if so it's a small token amount. Coupons are not a thing for most markets, and the "get this free" deals are usually only on launch.

You're right: the 2XL screen has been thoroughly trashed. Given that, I'd expect the reburbs & "renewed" 2XLs aren't going to be better. Could you compare or comment on the 3A vs the 5" Pixel 2 screen which has a very different screen w much better reviews? I read LG made the XLs & Samsung the 5' Pixel 2. That seems like a more competitive buying dilemma, no?

Help please! I am due for an upgrade really soon and I am seriously considering to get this 3a for the price and essential features. I am curious to know how is the Pixel 3a holding up? Does it have the same problems with charging, random rebooting, and screen issues as the flagship Pixel 3? I am coming from an iPhone 8, I have been using iPhones since 3GS and quite nervous about switching over to Android. But I think if I would switch to Android, it has to be pure/vanilla

I got the pixel 3A XL about a week ago from Amazon, replacing my Moto Z Play. After having Moto X's for several years and the Moto Z Play, I decided I wanted to change because the Moto Z4 didn't sound that great to me. The battery is good in the 3A XL but it's not much different than my year and a half old Moto Z Play, which was fantastic when it was brand new. I have a question for you, Brandon. When you say you have 10% battery left at the end of the day, what is your starting point? Do you top it up at 100% to begin with? The recommendation for lithium batteries seems to be to keep it between 30% and 80%. What do you think about that?
@quchi72325 жыл бұрын
ahh yes, the Moto Z play.. I remember using it mainly for Pokemon Go and it was very VERY hard to kill especially if with the battery moto mod. It’s amazing, sadly, I was held at gunpoint and had to give it up.

i've got an S7 and looking to upgrade to a Pixel 3a... because i hear the camera is really good. But they said the same about the S7 and i thought it didn't perform that great where i take them mostly.... in dim lit bars and clubs. I know no phones are amazing under low light but with the hype i expected better from the S7. So is the pixel 3a a better quality camera than the S7 and can be perform well in low light i.e bars and clubs that can be dark with flashing lights around. Another question on the pixel 3a..ha. When taking selfies is it best to do it from the rear camera as i found the front camera of the S7 for selfies to be really poor. Is there a side button to click to take the photo over pressing capture button on the screen - that's for the pixel 3a? Thank you :)
