An affordable version of the third-generation Googlephone, simplified on key fronts for the sake of a more humane cost. So, the smartphone is running a Snapdragon 670 chipset (against the 845th “dragon” of the base “troika”), which is accompanied by 4/64 GB of memory and integrated Adreno 615 graphics. The device’s screen uses an OLED panel with dimensions of 5.6- inches diagonally and a resolution of 2220x1080 pixels.
“Hairstyles” in the form of a falling “bangs”, fortunately, he does not have. Google Pixel 3a borrowed a “one-eyed” camera from its older brother, which shoots better than the lion’s share of multi-camera designs thanks to advanced Google software. In particular, all generations of "Pixels" are excellent at night shooting. The back panel of the smartphone is made of plastic with a branded glossy insert.
“Under the knife” in the device they launched wireless charging and water protection of the case, however, they added a 3.5 mm audio jack and left fast charging of a battery with a capacity of exactly 3000 mAh using Quick Charge 3.0 technology. In the software part, the affairs of the smartphone are managed by the stock Android 9.0 Pie OS, followed by an upgrade to the “tens”.

Pixel is back?
The Pixel line has gone from “this is what a cool Android smartphone should look like” to “Who even buys this buggy thing”? And when it seemed that the shop could be closed. Google unexpectedly released a very interesting simplified version of the Pixel 3a, in which many saw the reincarnation of the legendary Google Nexus. If other manufacturers cut everything they can, leaving only a name familiar to buyers, Google went from the opposite and retained the main advantage of the "older" Pixel — a progressive and smart camera that produces almost the best mobile portraits in this class, as well as damn cool shoots at night.
When one is a warrior in the field
It is not for nothing that this is one of the few “light flagships” that has been tested by specialists from DxOMark and received an impressive 100 points there. HDR + technology is, in fact, what the Google Pixel camera is loved for. Multi-frame exposure, combined with smart fusion algorithms, allows you to not only expand the dynamic range, but add saturation, detail and character to the picture. Sometimes a smartphone tries too hard (especially with white balance), but the picture is still impressive.
"Pure" Android
Other Pixel chips remained in business: a high-quality and neatly tuned OLED display, “pure” Android with lightning-fast updates, a body that does not slip in your hands, and an unusual compactness in the current realities. However the dimensions turned out to be a double-edged sword: the smartphone is smaller than its counterparts in 2020 and it is quite possible to control it with one hand, but the frames at the top and bottom are very large, which is why the display here is only 5.6". Although the norm for the most common smartphone has long been displays with a diagonal of 6.2 – 6.3".
Memory limited
The only pity is that all the shortcomings of the original Pixel 3 were transferred to the Pixel 3a. Firstly, this is not the most performant hardware. Snapdragon 670 + 4 GB is the level of the simplest handset from China for $200. Secondly, no support for memory cards. Considering that storage is limited to 64 GB, and Google has not released larger versions, this could stop many potential buyers. Well, the 3000 mAh battery looks outdated. Although, the existing OLED display is energy efficient, plus there is fast charging, so you can live. In general, if you are looking for a compact camera phone for adequate money, but do not chase high performance and battery life, then the Google Pixel 3a will suddenly become an excellent choice.
