Sooo... Who ordered?

[Willy_P]

I received my Pixel 3a XL this morning. My primary phone is an LG G8 but I bought the Pixel as a backup phone and to run the Android Q Betas. Unfortunately, I learned that I can't enroll the Pixel 3a in the Beta program until June.

It will be here before you know it but I get it

I got a 3a XL a couple days ago. It's really impressive so far. Camera, battery life, screen, and UI are all top notch. App loading times are a hair longer than a phone with a 845 or 855 chip, but I'd say they're on par with an iPhone's loading time. The plastic body is a little...plasticky, but outside of that, I'm not really sure why anyone who wants an android phone would really look at anything else. Maybe the OP7 Pro, but if that camera's still not up to snuff, I might have to stick with this.

The 3a xl is running with a March image. Thought I would update it....nope: That's all there is.
Hope there are no gottchas with the updates.
We shall see. So far everything is running great.

From what has been said, the first update will be the normal June update -- so we'll be on the March image for maybe 3 weeks. This also is typical for Google -- for some reason they don't provide an update for their phones in the month it is released, but have to wait for the following month to get an update.

It is also worth noting that the Android Q beta will also not be available for the 3A/ 3AXL until June.

I bought one. Google offered $259 for a 16GB iPhone SE that I had in my sock drawer. No brainer.

I've been using it since Friday afternoon and it feels good. Got it all set up just in time to take photos at my son's 3rd birthday party at daycare.

It has peaked my interest.

I'm coming from a OnePlus 6T (128GB) and still thinking of going to the 64GB 3a. I know it's a smaller screen but I've found that I don't really like the bigger screens on phones. Keeping my pics in Google Photos will be a new adventure for me though.

My iPhone XS is 256GB and now, with all my apps installed, I'm getting on just fine with the 64GB 3a. I've got 38GB left but I'll likely eat up a few of those GB when I make some of my Spotify music available offline.

Yeah, I will have to download less music than I normally do from Spotify/GPM, but other than that, storage is fine.

If there was a 128GB option it would be perfect

Ordered the 3a XL yesterday, I wanted that $100 Google Store bonus and was able to buy a co-worker's old iPhone 6 for $80 and should get $250 on trade in, so I'm still saving $170.
Coming from a Moto X4, I'm going to miss Moto gestures but looking forward to the camera, a bigger screen and 64 GB of storage.

Ordered a 3A yesterday from best buy. Already had a $70 credit plus a 10% birthday discount plus they are giving a $100 giftcard.
This will be my 2nd Android phone. Coming from a S7 Active which has slowed down to almost unusable. Was really interested in the OnePlus 7 but they are not releasing in the US at this time, only the Pro and that too much for me, IMO. Figured for the price this would be a good way to test the pixel and also get to use the camera which I am really excited about.

I just grabbed a 3A today while I was picking up my OnePlus 7. It's a fun little phone and even at full price it's a no brainer.

 

[itguyjax8430]

Picked a Purple-Ish one. I have been using it for about four days now. I can say it's a pretty solid phone the camera is really good. I put it through a work out today and they did great at my sons graduation. It definitely puts most mid range phones to shame. Thespeaker sound pretty great as well and the screen looks great.

Picked up the 3a yesterday. Wanted the slightly purple but all they had was black. Anywho it's been a very good experience so far from my first Pixel. Got it from Verizon on a $100 discount promo. For $300? The thing is basically a steal.

Ordered the unlocked 3A XL from Best Buy today, $100 savings, and they threw in a Google Home Mini as well. Moving up from an LG G6, that I think may be done with updates. Felt like the right time to switch, as I may be moving from Sprint to Google Fi in a few months.

 

[Mike-Mike]

I switched from my Note9 to my Pixel 3a XL on Friday. been using the Pixel all weekend, it has been pretty solid.

Add me to the club. The sound died on my trusted original Pixel 1, so I need a new phone. But I'm not spending 800 bucks for something that lasts 2.5 years. Hit up Best Buy and they talked me into giving Sprint a try, so I ordered an unlocked 3a in case I want to go back to Verizon. $399 for the phone, which I'll "return" for the $299 "activate now" option, plus a $100 Best Buy card, it was hard to say no.

Already ordered a case and screen protector!

I really wanted my Pixel 1 to last, since it there was nothing wrong with it, but a phone with no sound is really a fancy texting device, so here I am.

I picked up a XL purple-ish a week go. Loving it!

 

[jhilker]

Couldn't get the unlocked version set up on Sprint, so I had to return to Best Buy.

Picking up the purple Pixel 3a just as a backup phone today. Picking up a sealed one locally for $350.
