Google Pixel *a/*a XL

The lack of wireless charging and the fact that the S10+ is a battery juggernaut arethe only things keeping me from making the switch.

S10+ screen is also much nicer than 3a XL. Watch Netflix or YouTube with be vibrancy setting on s10+ then try that same video with the 3a xl....nope.

At least that was my impression comparing the regular s10 to regular 3a

Granted the s10+ is 2x the price lol

The battery is pretty amazing on WiFi .I was on WiFi 90% today . As with all phones I couldn't get this much SoT on LTE . This was lots of Samsung browser, lots of Reddit, some Twitter, an hour or so of Spotify (this was LTE) .

Ugh I have the option to buy brand new for 325 locally. I really do love all the bells and whistles of my S10 about really miss the Pixel software.

Wouldn't hurt to try it out. I'm sure you can sell for close to what you will pay for that one.

Yeah, probably. I'm thinking the best idea though would be for me to get the regular Pixel because I think I already know that the lack of wireless charging would piss me off. And water proofing

Feels good right??? Officially removed my sim from my XS Max, was sold the next day on Swappa, shipped out and now I have a lowly ol iPhone 7 in my drawer jussssssst in case I want to mess with iOS 13.

I am hating the new leaks and design of the next iPhone but loving the new look of the Pixel 4 and see that as my next device if I can find a reason to get rid of this OP7. I cant yet but maybe wireless charging and that Pixel cam improved even more.

It does and this is the first time in 4 years that I've returned to Apple only to come crawling back to Android in less than a month. A testament to how far Android has come. And the options are great as well!

Completely agree there. The gestures feel fantastic, the notifications feel so futuristic coming from iOS, and the hardware is out of this world for me.

Honeymoon phase I know, but really loving this.

And you can switch Android devices and you're still a green bubble to iPhone users, so no harm, no foul.

Thanks. Next question. lol How do those things (and camera) compare to the 3XL?
Click to expand...

I think the screen on my 3a is better than the 3 I owned. However, I think the 3XL that I owned had a better screen than both my 3a and 3.

As far as camera, I cannot do a side by side comparison, because I no longer have the XL. But, the pics are great and I haven't once thought the output was anything less than what I expected out of my 3XL.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've placed an order for the 3aXL. Can at least try it out and see if I can get by on 64gb until the 4.

Me too... but I think I’m moving to s10 from pixel 3XL ... I’m liking the pixel software but I’m having doubt with hardware coz too many RMA and battery not so good with 3XL...a bit scared coz here warranty is handled by 3rd party....
 
I’ll get my 3a XL delivered tomorrow. I’ll put on what I absolutely have to have on it regards music & pics and see if I think it’ll be ok until October. If I like it and keep it, I just hope it doesn’t spoil getting the Pixel 4. For me, that’s when upgrading can feel a little boring, going to the same make & model just a little newer.
