Now as we just mentioned before, the Pixel phones were lacking in a lot of flagship phone requirements, but arguably the biggest of those was looks. I’m more of a functional person myself but even I have to admit that a flagship phone has to look like something inspiring, elegant or straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie. Look at the Galaxy S10 , iPhone XS or Huawei P30 and you just want to buy those phones. Look at the Google Pixels though , and well, there was a lot left to be desired. The first Pixel was basically an iPhone clone (though it at least had a headphone jack) while the 2 tried to sort of be different with it’s XL variant but faced screen problems and the 3 had the biggest notch in recent flagship phone history. To put it simply, the Pixels don’t look great for their price, but the 3A negates that by being 300 dollars cheaper than most of them. By going back into budget phone territory , the 3A actually looks standard if not pretty nice for how much you pay for it. And to be fair , there are some good looking and durable cheap phones as well, in fact Nokia excels at that with phones like the 6 and 7 ranges. But neither of those phones can compete with what the 3A brings in reliability, software and most importantly that amazing camera.
You may think we’re over-hyping the camera but we’re not. Pixel phones have been beating the iPhone, Samsung Galaxies and even Huawei phones for years now. And the 3A has basically the exact same camera as the normal Pixel 3. The only phone that can beat it right now is the crazy periscope and night time lenses on Huawei’s P30 Pro but other than that, this is basically the best camera on the market, which again is on a $400 phone! We figured you may still not believe us so we figured we’d give you another YouTube video courtesy of Mr Mobile.
Google night sight is still better than Huawei. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it’s one of the best ( don’t write off the Nexus devices)
Well we definitely appreciate your opinion mark. Though based on what we’ve seen scouring the net, the Huawei P30 pro has even Google beat in that department. Either way it’s an exciting time to talk about smartphone cameras.
