In fact, there is no need for examples here because you saw what this camera can do in my review of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.

Plus super-stable video capture, at least at 1080p, which is what I’d recommend. And you’ll already have heard of Google’s Night Sight mode, now joined by Super-res zoom. Every shot has multiple exposures and they’re combined in super-intelligent fashion for optimum dynamic range and detail. I say ‘monster’ because this already very capable optical setup is enhanced significantly by Google’s HDR+ algorithms in its Pixel Camera application. Not least the camera, which is identical to that in the premium ‘3’, so we’re talking the 12MP f/1.8, 1/2.55” sensored, OIS-equipped, dual pixel-focussed monster that’s in the high-end Pixel 3s. Again.Īll of which is enough to recommend the Pixel 3a already, but there are – of course – things still to test.

The phone alerts the user when an update is available and already downloaded and then they tap to restart and they’re bang up to date. For the supported lifetime of the device (typically three years). No frills in terms of hardware, but 100% rock solid updates. And this is where Google has stepped in with the 3a series. Enthusiasts buying Galaxy Note 9s, Huawei P30 Pros, and so on, are all too well aware of updates, we complain that we’re two months from the cutting edge and we hound manufacturers to get the latest bits and bytes out to us.īack in the real world, where the typical Pixel 3a buyer exists, they just want to use the phone and not worry. We’re almost talking Apple levels of OS care here.Īnd all this is doubly important away from the flagship end of the phone market. In a world where I’m constantly frustrated by sub-£500 phones being left high and dry in terms of updates, month after month, year after year, with security vulnerabilities unpatched and bugs unfixed, the prospect for a regular phone buyer of years of care from Google and knowing that they’ll not be left behind is worth a lot. Up to three years of security updates, bug fixes, OS updates (Android Q, R and maybe even S). So, why does being a Google Pixel matter so much? Updates, that’s why. Yes, bringing back memories of the old Google Nexus handsets, with the 3a reminding me in many ways of the breakthrough Nexus 5 in terms of price and capabilities. The 4GB RAM and Snapdragon 670 are matched by a dozen sub-£400 competitors – but because it’s a Google Pixel at this price. Not because it’s a specifications miracle, as on the Xiaomi Pocofone F1, for example – it’s not.

The core thing to note in the Google Pixel 3a (and 3a XL) is the fact of its mere existence at a price point at half the cost of today’s flagships (or a third, if you include iPhones in the mix). RELATED : Review: Google Pixel 5 – the diminutive flagship to take you through 2024 The Pixel factorīut all of the above notwithstanding – you could argue the spec lowering versus price equation either way, it all depends what you need in your smartphone. Which is great news and a genuine plus for the cheaper device. And even then there are gaskets around the 3a’s ports, so it probably will survive a dunk in the basin, it just hasn’t been tested or rated officially.įinally, Google has brought back the 3.5mm audio jack to the Pixel line, recognising that most ‘normal’ people like being able to plug in headphones – any headphones – without trying and then, scratching their heads, realising that they need an adapter that they lost months ago. Admittedly the list above is quite a changelog from the premium ‘3’ to the cheaper ‘3a’, but the lack of water resistance is the only one that should bother a buyer. Plus the Pixel 3a is around half a centimetre longer than the ‘3’ and it’s not entirely clear why (other than the display being 0.1″ diagonal larger).

only the one selfie camera and it’s not as good.

no guaranteed full resolution backup to Google’s servers.

So what’s missing, does it matter, and how will the Pixel 3a fare in the mainstream ‘normob’ market? Read on for my verdict! Google Pixel 3a Review The 3 to 3a changelog So much of this handset screams ‘premium Pixel’, yet it’s plastic and yet it costs less than £400 in the UK, roughly 60% the cost of last Autumn’s Pixel 3.

It has to be said that the Google Pixel 3a (and 3a XL, not shown here) is something of a work of material science magic.
