   4 month review
   After having this phone for 4 months I thought I should at least post my impressions on using this phone on a daily basis. I can say I’ve been really happy with it.Coming into this phone knowing about the lack of water resistance and questionable physical durability I knew that I would have to treat it very gingerly if it was going to hold up at all, which has not been an issue after 4 months of use. I have been very proactive in not doing anything to challenge it’s physical limitations. Although I’m curious how well this phone could survive a significant drop unto a hard surface, such as concrete, I’ve been very protective of this device and very careful in how I’ve handled it and that’s been no problem for me.What’s really blown me away about the Pixel 3a is something very few have mentioned which is how well wifi-calling works with it. My provider, Mint Mobile, which is a T-Mobile reseller supports wifi-calling but it has to be configured on the phone you are using in addition to enabling it on the provider. No problem with Mint Mobile and an unlocked Pixel 3a. So, the cellular signal in my house is not the greatest. It’s ok but nothing to write home about so call quality is not always the greatest. That’s where wifi calling comes in and the beauty of it is that it’s totally transparent, coming on at home and at other places where the cellular signal is poor or non-existent. Since wifi is available where I need it, most everywhere these days, call quality is not an issue, even in an environment with a poor quality cellular signal. What strikes me the most is the phone’s ability to transition to and from wifi calling without call interruption or loss. So, when I leave my house while in a call, I don’t lose the call as the phone transitions from wifi calling to cellular. For me, this has been the biggest plus of the phone.Of course the quality of the camera is the one outstanding feature that is most often talked about and I have to admit it can take incredible pictures. I also like the display and battery life is more than sufficient for my purposes. I’m not a game enthusiast so game performance is of no importance. The phone is very responsive and I really haven’t experienced any performance issues. YouTube, YouTube TV and Pluto work wonderfully on this device. I think the sound, both on speakers and bluetooth is very good.

   Pixel 3a best all around phone at the best price.
   So much has been said about this phone, so I will try to boil it down. I have waited over three weeks before posting my thoughts.1. In December 2019 for $299 pre Black Friday limited time offer, no phone has a better camera and software combo. If you double the price, still can’t name a new phone at this writing that can beat it. Google just added the ability to photograph the stars like the pixel 4. This mode is automatic. The phone needs to be on a tripod or otherwise completely still for the long exposure mode be enabled.2. Less talked about, this particular version G020G US version has band 71 for TMOBILE, their new 600mhz band. This band will do more to make sure you get actual coverage rather than try to get you some high speed. Yes this phone supports all the major carriers, and having that rare (at this time) band 71 is nice.3. So other positives, Oled screen, always on display, be the first in line along with the essential phone to get bug fixes, security patches at the newest version of android.4. Headphone jack, let’s all say that one more time headphone jack.5. Dual speakers, one bottom firing the other is the ear piece.6. Stock android, no skin just the basics.7. Battery. Not in the pros or cons. It’s fine, not the crazy 14 hour heavy use champ, but it has never come up short for me.Some cons.1. Screen is that tall skinny aspect ratio. No my favorite. On the plus side easier to hold and reach all of the screen without issues.2. Because this budget budget phone is missing the dedicated image processing chip it takes longer to process images. You can still fire off as many as you feel the need to but to see the finished image, there will be a short wait. The lower the light level, the longer the wait. Not a deal breaker because the images are usually just so good.3. Screen is just a hair warmer than I’m used to. I have adjusted to it, but I mention it because you cannot adjust warmth.4. Speakers are on the weak side. Sound is even, good quality just not very loud.5. Notification sounds are too soft.6. Camera has no manual controls or any real controls. When the camera chooses the wrong white balance I cannot do anything really. Sometimes changing my aim slightly will cause the camera to choose something better but that doesn’t always work. Also a big pain. There is a big crop in video mode to aid stabilization so your field of view will get really tight. I don’t like this all all. It’s one of those things that isn’t mentioned often. I looked at lots of reviews both written and video and don’t recall any mentions.I’m sure I missed a lot, these are just some things that come to mind over the past few weeks.

   Acabo de adquirir el pixel 3a, tengo un iPhone XS Max, solo lo compre para trabajar y se me ha hecho muy buen equipo, la cámara y el rendimiento de la batería es espectacular llevo 3 días sin cargarlo y aún tiene el 30% (obviamente no lo utilizo mucho) honestamente no se puede comparar con ningún iPhone en los materiales exteriores el material se siente de plástico y nada premium, pero por el costo y para el tipo de uso que yo le voy a dar es suficiente, la pantalla se ve muy bien y el SO android es muy fácil de usar y es eficiente, solo en algunos casos algunas animaciones al navegar la interfaz se siente un poco soso o lento, pero como dije tengo un iPhone XS Max así que estoy acostumbrado a una experiencia muy particular

   Funciona excelente con Telcel en la red 4G, lo único malo es su incompatibilidad con llamadas sobre la red 4G.Es un excelente teléfono, tiene una cámara increíble (solo apuntas, capturas y tendrás una foto impresionante) y las características no son las más potentes pero su rendimiento es muy bueno.Las aplicaciones corren súper bien, el sistema operativo es android puro y el plástico del teléfono es de primera calidad, comparado con un iPhone no es para nada resbaladizo en las manos, lo he usado sin proctector por que se ve increíble y no se me ha caido. La parte trasera superior que es de un color negro mas brillante es muy fácil que se ralle y le quedan las marcas de los dedos comparado con el resto de la cubierta trasera que es negro mate.

   Excelente celular con excelente cámara (Potriat Mode Night Site, Photooth, Playground y Lens funcionan de maravilla), las apps de Google (Gmail, Maps, Keep, Lens, Google Assistant {¡especialmente el Assistant!} etc.) nunca me han servido tan bien y tan rápido todo se integra mejor con el Pixel, lo mejor de todo el celular llegó rápido y en excelentes condiciones con todas las especificaciones, 100% recomendable sin arrepentimientos.
