Description
Google’s first mid-range phone, the Pixel 3a, builds on the strong foundation established by the previous Pixel phones and comes along with exceptional camera performance that rivals even the flagship devices out there. That’s because the 3a boasts the same 12.2MP F1.8 camera, which works in unison with Google’s imaging algorithms to deliver great camera quality. The display is a 5.6-inch OLED one. On the inside, the Pixel 3a is powered by the mid-range Snapdragon 670 chipset and has 4GB of RAM, as well as a 3,000mAh battery. All of this is fitted in a polycarbonate body and even has a 3.5mm jack. You also get a traditional fingerprint reader at the back, though no IP water resistance. Google’s pure Android is on board with a slew of Pixel-exclusive software features.
