Google Pixel 3A XL

The 3A XL is based on the existing Pixel design language. You get a two-tone finish at its back. The device sports a fingerprint sensor on its back. What's missing is a screen notch found on the Pixel 3 XL. Google has also decided to swap the OLED screen of the standard Pixel 3 XL with an LCD panel on the Pixel 3A XL. This phone sports a 6-inch IPS (In Plane Switching) panel with 2340 x 1080 pixels. That's about the pixel density of 430 ppi. The display is protected against scratches by Corning's Gorilla Glass.

At the heart of Pixel 3A XL is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710 chipset based on 10 nm fabrication process. The octa-core SoC (System on Chip) has two Kryo 360 Gold and six Kryo 360 Silver cores. Thanks to its Adreno 616 GPU, the Pixel 3A XL can handle most games. The phone has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. But, there's no microSD card slot. While most brands are moving on to the multi camera setup, Google is holding on a single module. The Pixel 3A XL sports a 12 MP rear camera backed by Google's computational photography. There's an 8 MP camera for selfies.

The Pixel 3A XL is a 4G VoLTE handset with dual band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. The phone supports USB type C port and a 3.5 mm audio jack makes a comeback. As you would expect from a Pixel device, this phone offers unadulterated Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. It comes with a promise of at least 3 years of updates.
