Google Pixel 3. Pixel 3a hands-on review

Google Pixel 3 and $400 Google Pixel 3a review

I have just received the Pixel 3 and the new Pixel 3a from google (thanks!) I’m not paid to do a review, they sent it with no obligation to do anything except use it and see how I like it.  As an iPhone user from day 1 it will be interesting to see how I adapt and if I like this new phone. I tried an Android device many years ago and found it frustrating, because everything was so fragmented. So far, it seems things have come a long way and its a much smoother experience. First impression, this camera is good! Check out my initial experiences in the short, first impressions video I have made.

And here is my Pixel 3a / Pixel 3 vs pixel 3a comparison.

 

I will be doing a side by side comparison with the iPhone Xs and sharing the results here. Ill also add my thoughts as I experience the Google Pixel 3 as an iPhone user (so it will also be an Android experience for me).

Stay tuned for more

Here are some pix with the Pixel 3 so far.

Portrait mode (It has portrait mode and adjustable Depth of field like the iPhone XS. This is the font facing selfie camera.
