Review on Google Pixel 3a X-Large 64GB Unlocked Just Black (G020C) - A High-Performance Cell Phone with Ample Memory by Itf Iffan ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

Despite the shortcomings, definitely 5. If you are not chasing meaningless numbers, gypsy gradients and fifty cameras at 100500 MP (which are often of little use), then this device is for you. You will definitely stand out. Almost no one knows about this device. I somehow lost it, and quickly found it. smart is extremely rare, if it were samsung, honor or xiomi then write wasted. I recommend!

Pros
  • I am writing a review after 5 months of use. Before that, there was a Nexus 5X, so I will compare with it. 1. Screen. I love Oled, it's better to be pure black and greenish white than perfectly white and not black. + energy saving. 2. Pure android. No shell gives me such pleasure as 10 naked android . 3. Speed ​​and optimization. Not 855 dragon, but very fast and smooth. I personally compared it with the iPhone XS, and in most cases, the speed of opening applications is comparable. Compared to Xiaomi Mi A3 (also on bare android), heaven and earth. On A3, the interface is twitchy. 4. Camera. Google algorithms work wonders, I won’t say that after the Nexus 5X there is a huge jump in quality, but the difference is visible. Video 60 fps also good writes, not the iPhone, but not bad. Night shooting is generally crazy, the human eye sometimes sees worse! The zoom with AI is cool, it draws the picture so that it turns out tolerable something, without it the soap would be soapy. The best camera for the money, will give odds to the current flagships. 5. Stereo speakers. I did not expect that it would come to me, but the sound is decent. After Nexus 5X in general fire! 6. Design. You don't have to throw it at me. I like. A plastic smartphone is lighter; for me it would be better to be lighter, but plastic. I don’t understand the claims to plastic, 95% puts on a cover, what difference does it make what you have under the cover? It is radically different from all these Chinese of yours with gradient glass and 2-3-4 cameras. The color is purple-ish, looks very cool live. Frames too big do not soar, it's better than an ugly unibrow. 7. Compactness. Cool lies in the hand. After 5.2, the Nexus 5X has no discomfort. The Pixel is slightly longer due to the 18:9 aspect ratio. 8. Battery. Compared to the Nexus 5X, it holds twice as well. I'm not exaggerating. Here, on the mobile Internet, up to 5 hours of screen activity can be squeezed out, on wi-fi 6-6.5 quietly. I have enough for 1.5 days. 9. Vibro. Looks like an Apple taptic engine. Feels great tactile. 10. Jack. I had a chance to walk with a smart phone without a jack for a month, and as it suddenly turned out, it’s still better with it (CEP)
Cons
  • Flaws: 1. The biggest drawback is PWM, it is here. They say with the help of the root it is treated, the hands have not yet reached. My eyes don’t hurt from the screen, but if it’s higher than the maximum permissible value, then it’s still harmful. Watch the YouTube video about PWM on the Ai channel, it’s simple, where the Pixel screen turned out to be the worst. 2. Memory. Everything is bad here. No, 64 gigabytes is enough for me. I'm talking about the eMMC type. It was possible to score memory percent by 90% and the phone began to dull. 300 MB per second is the level of low-budget devices. I don’t know how the pixel will behave in the future, but the Nexus had eMMC, and after a year and a half, the smart began to turn into something buggy. At the same time, UFS often stand in poor hlaomi. Shame on Google. 3. Scanner. Better than in the Nexus 5X, but worse than in the Sharp Aquos C10 (I drove it for a month), burrs appear on my fingers (and this often happens to me) and the sensor starts to work every other time. 4. After ating to Android 10 (recently I use Smartlock in MiBand 4 bundle) to unlock the screen by swipe, you need to make a swipe too long compared to other smarts and Android 9, which is very annoying.
