Just wondering if anybody has caught wind of what the battery sizes will be on the new Pixel 2 & Pixel XL 2?
I currently own the Nexus 5x. I love the phone, but the battery life SUCKS! I was tempted to buy the Pixel XL but I heard the Pixel 2 was being released soon. I'm sure they improved on the battery I just don't know by how much.
Thx,
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if the Pixel 3 has the same screen as the Pixel 3a.
The pixel 3a is like the perfect phone for me, except for the screen.
I find it a bit yellowish (no the yellow tint problem) and the brightness is not that high.
Especially coming from a Huawei P20 (which is rather blue and high brightness) doesn't help.
If the Pixel 3 screen is different, that will probably be my way to go.
Thank in advance for your answer.
Greetings,
Ben
Hi Ben,
No, the Pixel 3a uses a different screen. With a slightly bigger resolution too, since it's a tad bit longer.
Hey guys I m switching from a pixel 2 xl and looking for something cheaper. Would you guys recommend a pixel 3 a or pixel 3a xl?

Depends on what you want. The phones are more or less identical, the only major differences are the size and battery - the 3a XL is bigger in both.
If you're currently having the Pixel 2 XL and are OK with the size, then go for the 3a XL. If you would like to switch to a smaller phone, then go for the ordinary 3a.
I'd wait till the Pixel 4 is released in mid-Oct. You might find that Google offers some decent trade in values for your Pixel 2 XL. Or discount the 3 series even further than it is now ($300 off).
As noted, the screen and battery are about the only things better on the 3a XL. You've lived with the 2 XL screen this long, so it must not bother you too much. A few more weeks won't make a difference.
If you want a cheaper phone, you could definitely switch over to a 3a or 3a xl. I went with the 3a because i got tired of having a big phone( 2xl) and I got also annoyed of having to carry a headphone jack adapter. I only miss the faster snapdragon processor. The battery life on the 2xl was terrible too. I do miss the actual front speakers on the 2xl. Can't go wrong with the 3a though. It gets me through the day.
Either would work

Either works; the 3a is smaller than the S7 or newer (I came from the S7). Also, it has a longer SOT than the S7 and charges faster than the S7 as well. Here's a shocker - the S7 charges faster using the 3a's charger than using its own charger; however, the 3a charges faster yet. (That means it is NOT a fault in the S7's charger.)

I am on a bit of a budget to be honest. I can't buy a phone out right and knowing Google it's going to be very expensive.

And for me personally I want to try the 3A XL because it's a better option for me and I have to spend less money. They only gripe I have with the phone is that does not have the image processing chip my 2XL has.

I have a pixel 2 XL which is on its deathbed as well. So you think I should just go for the regular 3A?

Why would you switch from a pixel 2xl to a 3a or 3axl?? I don't think so it is a very smart idea

I never missed headphone jack, guess i adopted to this trend way too early. Pixel 2xl battery life is quite good for me and does the job. Cheaper, yeah but then if you already have 2xl why would you spend extra money?
Has anyone try this on their pixel og?

I seriously considering ditching my Samung S10e & picking up a cheap Pixel 3a again.
The only reason i got the S10e is because i lost my Pixel 3a while on holiday & at the time in August last year, the S10e was on a very good offer under £500 & the Wife's work discount brought it close to £400 hence why i ended up getting the S10e over another Pixel 3a which after a good few months with the S10e I've now come to regret that decision.
Reason being.
Signal on the S10e is terrible where i live dropped calls continuously, never had a problem on my Pixel 3a.
Battery life is also terrible being exynos it suffers badly from 4G drain, again no problems on the Pixel 3a could easily get a day out of it even though battery on both are around the same capacity.
Support tbh Samsung has upped their game when it comes to supporting their devices, but Android 11 will be it's last major update & will only show up sometime in early 2021, the Pixel 3a on the other hand will get Android 11 around September time & also will get Android 12.
Camera while it's ok in good light on the S10e the pixel 3a blew it out of the water when it comes to image quality more so in low light shot's, i even go far as to say that the pixel 3a camera still better than the S20 lineup, i can cope losing the wide angle camera for better image quality again, & i don't care for 4K 60fps as it wasn't stabilised on the S10 range & the video quality on the pixel 3a was more than upto the job.
Also i don't care that the Pixel 3a only has 4GB of Ram, Snapdragon 670 & only 64GB of storage as I don't game on my phones & i don't do any multi tasking & i don't use that many apps.
The other option is to hang on for the Pixel 4a later this month or early next month which looks very much like the S10e, but that will cost £400 starting price and i can get a brand new retail Pixel 3a close to £250, that should easily last me until the Pixel 5a next year.

Yes waiting for 4a is a good option and if you can wait even more the pixel 5 is gonna be a midranger this year but i guess no-one can wait for that long to buy a phone .So if you can, pixel 4a will be the best option as it will have larger battery more efficient processor etc.
Decided go for another Pixel 3a rather than the 4a & save myself around £150.
Also if the Pixel 5 is a mid range phone with a starting price of around 500 & 5G as standard, then getting that later on in the year or early next year when the deals are on will be a better option than going for the Pixel 4a next month.
I'll trade you my week old 3a for an S10e lol
