Google Pixel 3A

In the camera department, the Pixel 3A features a 12.2MP dual-pixel rear camera that we can expect to take forward the quality showcased by the cameras on other Pixel phones. The Pixel 3A boasts Pixel Visual Core support, which is an extra chip integrated into the phone alongside the main chip, aimed at enhancing image processing capabilities. The camera on the Pixel 3A also includes Night Sight mode that renders clear and detailed shots even in the dark. Users also get to adjust the depth of field as per their need for a shot. The Color Pop option enables users to make one color dominant while softening the background. Moreover, the rear camera also supports other features including 4K video recording, dual-Pixel Phase Detection (PDAF), Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Portrait Mode and Motion Auto Focus. Google also bundles unlimited Google Photos storage for storing photos on the cloud.

As for the other specs, the Pixel 3A is backed by a 3,000mAh battery with USB Type-C connectivity and 18W fast-charging, which is claimed to offer up to 7 hours of use on just 15 minutes of charge. The software side is administered by Android 9 Pie that will see successions with upcoming Android versions starting with Android Q and going up to Android R paired with respective security patches. Being a Google-branded phone, the Pixel 3A also has an upper hand in terms of other software features including Call Screen, and Google’s custom Titan M security chip for seamless data protection.

Google has bulked up the Pixel 3A with Snapdragon 670 processor. Based on the 10nm manufacturing process, the SD670 SoC offers decent processing power with Kryo 360 cores. It offers seamless GPU performance with the Adreno 615. We think that the Snapdragon 670 would be quite steady in offering unhindered power to the Pixel 3A for demanding multitasking and gaming. Connectivity options supported by the Pixel 3A include Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2 x 2 MIMO, 4G, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, Google Cast, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
