Pros
- Appearance. Without a terrible peephole in the middle of the screen. It's nice to hold in your hands.
Cons
- Serious problem with spare parts in service centers. 1 sim card The battery doesn't last long.
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.
Pros
- Excellent main camera, took it for her. Unfortunately, I did not have time to compare tyk to tyk with the previous phone (S10e). Good performance, despite not the most powerful processor. Guaranteed support for ates for several years. Although I usually change phones somewhere once every half a year - a year. Fingerprint works fast, NFC is rarely stupid in terminals. For unknown reasons, the S10e was often unable to pay immediately. 3.5mm jack available. There are stereo speakers, but I won’t say that I listen a lot through them.
Cons
- 64GB of memory may not be enough, but there is no way to expand it. 1 physical sim card, although I use 2. Not the best autonomy, gives 5.5 hours of screen + - 30 minutes when using cellular networks. In the morning, he barely survives until he returns from work in the evening. I once had a Mi8, charged 1 time per day. Now it turns out 1.5 times a day. I use only social networks, no games. Weak front camera. But I'm not a selfie lover. Annoyed by the notification about the processing of the photos taken when using hrd and hdr + (the processor cannot process quickly). But you can turn it off and then it's fine. Not the smallest frames, compared to the same S10e. Because of this, the dimensions are larger than they could be. I am a supporter of compact phones. And there are only a few of them on the market, unfortunately.
Pros
- The main thing to talk about in this phone is the camera. Yes, he has many other advantages, some of them are for an amateur, some are just a must-have, but the camera is the most important thing here. It is exactly the same as in the "older" pixels, not trimmed, it takes just gorgeous pictures, it is still one of the best cameras on the smartphone market, and definitely the most from this price segment. It does not have a wide-angle lens, there is no optical zoom - yes, they are needed, but 90% or more of the cases are for ordinary photos, which are simply superb here. Before that, I had One Plus 3t, it took good pictures, then Huawei P30 Lite, it took so-so pictures, but it had a width, and when I switched to a pixel, at first I sometimes missed it, but I quickly got used to it and began to enjoy the quality of photos . I sang odes to the camera, now about the rest: NFC, a pure android that works smartly and will be ated for a couple more years for sure, a normal battery, good speakers (after a huawei, this is something), stereo sound, loud, high-quality. Probably, this is the main thing that is necessary or that unexpectedly pleased
Cons
- AMOLED screen. For me, this is the main drawback. PWM, eyes hurt, you get tired. I solved (for the most part) this problem with the software OLED Saver. She eats more charge, but enough for me. But they feel fine. Design, size, frames. It’s not that it’s a drawback, it’s just a little old-fashioned, so maybe not for everyone. The phone is not very small for its small screen. Camera without width and optical zoom, but I have already said everything about this It doesn't fly like flagships, but miracles don't happen for such a price, do they?) I don't play top games, so there are no performance problems. It's just that everything is a little slower than on the tops, no more. It's stable, so it's not a problem at all.
Pros
- Dimensions, performance, pure Android, camera, headphone jack.
Cons
- Glossy screen, no memory card slot
Pros
- Convenient, fast, ergonomic, beautiful, high-quality and tenacious smartphone on pure android. I took for 25.900. February 2022
Cons
- 1. There may be problems with repairs and spare parts in case such a need arises 2. A small selection of covers in Hong Kong time, but the famous site and Chinese friends will always help out. There's a lot more choice. 3. Personally, I had problems copying photos from my Sony Xperia z5 gallery to Pixel's Google Photos. The dates are wrong, some of the photos are mixed up, some of the dates are wrong 4. No moisture protection (due to the price) 5. No wireless charging (due to price)
Pros
- Compared to the previous phone, the camera makes an impression, but here it’s more likely the merit of not the phone itself, but the Google photo application, the neuron processes photos amazingly, you shoot at night, and it feels like the photo was taken during the day.
Cons
- 1) The battery life, of course, is not encouraging. Compared to the previous Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x phone, the difference in battery capacity is noticeable. The charge is barely enough for the whole day and now in my purse there is always a charger from the phone. This is not so much a drawback as the realities of modern smartphones. 2) OLED screen. The colors are juicy, bright, on a bright day you can see the screen even in sunglasses, but to be honest, I was quite happy with Xiaomi's IPS. The eyes get tired quickly from the OLED screen, and after 2 hours of using the smartphone, you will begin to feel it strongly, sometimes your eyes even begin to water. 3) Google ads. At the beginning of use, it seems that it is everywhere, but after a month you stop noticing it. At first it was very annoying ate after 1.5 years of use: - unfortunately, over time, the phone began to dull (hangs in some program and exits it, thinks when switching between open applications). This was partly due to memory overflow on the device, but even after clearing space and freeing up 50% of the disk, the problem recurred intermittently. (Software ated automatically). - The battery life is also noticeably reduced. So if you are a fan of playing games on your phone, then it is better not to part with the bank.
Pros
- In principle, I join all of the above, a pure android, a good camera, a confident day of battery life.
Cons
- The processor is objectively weak, you don’t really notice it in everyday life, but for example, when cropping a video, it becomes clear what you saved on, it takes a very long time to process video shot on a 1080/60 smartphone camera, if you try a higher resolution, I think it will confuse the phone)
Pros
- Camera, ergonomics
Cons
- sound, autonomy
Pros
- 1. Pure android. It's beautiful, beautiful and convenient, without Chinese bells and whistles (hello huawei), unnecessary and annoying applications (hello sony and its wats new app). If you don't like something, reconfigure it, turn it off. The phone works for you, while the design of the android itself is excellent. Compared with the shell of the huawei, it's just vyrviglaznaya and disgusting. Everything is simple and clear in the pixel. What you don't need is hidden, but if anything, you know where to find it. 2. Assembly. Everything is good quality. Never cheap. It is pleasant in the hands. 3. Camera, fire! See reviews. 4. Autonomy (you turn off AOD and the phone still has 40% of the charge by the evening, and with a heavy load of 15-20%) the phone really holds the charge with a bang. 4.1. It charges quickly. Those. really fast, in an hour. 5. Processor. Yes, it’s not top-notch here, but I never got a long download of applications, I didn’t see any brakes, everything is great. Bomb optimization. Especially in Google apps. Works perfect. I don't play 3D shooters on mobile. 5.1. It does not overheat (hello Sony 2) to keep it in your hands is always normal. 6. Fingerprint sensor works at +5 7. The screen is fire, even in bright sunshine. But when this bright sun is shining, do not turn down the brightness manually. I did this on vacation and had to return it to the touch in the blind. 6. Price quality
Cons
- 1. I had to wait from America for 2 weeks and the kit included a charger with an American plug, since it was ready and the adapter was already there. 2. Wireless charging would be fire in general. 3. Memory could be more. I still have enough, but for a little more than a month of use I have already scored half) 4. There is no notification light. It is still more convenient than olweiss it is a display and does not eat the battery so much
Pros
- Camera. Before that, I went with Nexus 5x for several years. And until it breaks, and. I did not purchase xiaomi A2 for a while, I did not think that the camera was so important to me. And I'm ready to buy a phone twice as expensive for a good camera. Performance. I thought that the phone would work at the xiaomi a2 level, but with a cool camera, since on paper the characteristics are not very different. But pixel 3a feels, if not much faster, then somehow smoother, without brakes, without friezes, without jerky animation. It seems that you have a serious expensive phone in your hands. Assembly. Everything is very cool. A separate buzz is the turn off and volume keys. Such a small detail, but it's really nice to press them. A very cool click is heard. The body of the phone itself is very nice. Nothing creaks. And there is no feeling that something is cheaper in the hand. And if we recall xiaomi a2 again, then the pixel 3a in the hand is nicer and better. And despite the fact that I have large hands, the size of the pixel 3a fits me much better. It's great that you can use it with one hand. Well, the notorious headphone jack is very cool. Speakers. The phone sounds loud and pleasant. There are even some lows. Of course, it is inferior to the iPhone XR, but still I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Screen. After the lcd on the Nexus 5x and it's not clear which panel on the xiaomi a2 (the screen is really terrible there), the led screen on the Pixel 3a is a pure buzz. Yes, it gets warmer when tilted, but I never cease to be amazed at its quality.
Cons
- Price in 2022. I understand that the price tag of 35 thousand on the market is quite a lot, but what phone in this price range can shoot as cool? I got quite a long history with the delivery. At first, Google did not want to ship it to the forwarding service. It took a week. And then the service delivered it for three weeks. During this time, he had already appeared on the market, and I thought that it would be better to order. But in the end I have a native fabric case from Google. And he's just great. But with the protective glass came out a bobble. It is better not to order glass on the Internet, but to go to the store and pick up glass from another model on the spot.
Pros
- - the manufacturer in this model did not follow some industry trends: a screen with a cutout, no 3.5 jack, several cameras - excellent camera: you almost always get great pictures without much effort, there is a tracking autofocus, a very useful night mode, a good digital zoom - I still consider pure android as a plus, in comparison with shells from other manufacturers - I like the sound, both when talking and when listening to music
Cons
- - the shape of the case turned out to be not particularly convenient: the width is 70.1 mm (compact by today's standards), but the edges are thick - 8.2 mm. In general, for some reason, in the last few years, phones have become thicker. - the camera has its drawbacks. The minimum distance from the object is ~ 8 cm, because of this macro is so-so. My previous Oneplus 3T was 5 cm. There was more detail in the pictures thanks to the 16 MP camera - of all possible forms of notifications when the screen is off, there is only AOD. Not the most convenient solution in my opinion: I would prefer not to show anything on the screen when there are no notifications. - weak iron is sometimes noticeable. There is a delay of a few seconds between launching the camera and taking a picture (with HDR+), launching apps takes a noticeable amount of time - high price. Reviewers (especially foreign ones) praise the phone for its affordability. I cannot agree with them. Google clearly does not want to even come close to the Chinese in terms of being stuffed with technologies with minimal prices. - Screen colors are distorted when viewed from an angle.
