After numerous leaks, Google has finally decided to launch Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. The pure Android smartphones are currently available to buy from T-Mobile and they will soon hit other online retailers on the global market. Nonetheless, the best thing about Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL is the fact that despite shipping with powerful hardware specs and useful features, they still fit in the mid-range market and therefore, they are equipped with affordable prices which make them accessible to all Android fans who want to purchase a Pixel smartphone.
Why Should You Buy a Pixel 3a or Pixel 3a XL?
The question that all Android fans have been asking during this past couple of weeks is why should they consider buying one of Google’s mid-ranged smartphones? Well, the answer to that question is not that simple. First off, they are affordable and people who couldn’t previously purchase a pure Android flagship such as Pixel 3 XL due to its high price can now opt for a Pixel 3a XL. However, there’s more to this.
The two new Pixel smartphones also offer a plethora of premium features and today we want to take a look at the top three best ones. The reason why we are doing this is so that all Android fans can make up their own mind if paying $399 for Pixel 3a or $479 for Pixel 3a XL is worth it or not.
#1 Camera-Centric Smartphones
If there is one thing that everyone will agree on when it comes to smartphones, then it has to be the fact that they are becoming more and more camera-centric every year. Google prides itself in the camera technology that its smartphones offer and the two new Pixel smartphones are not an exception to that rule. They both snap incredible pictures and their camera technology is one of their highest selling points.
#2 High-Level Security
People use their smartphones for lots of purposes and one of the most important ones are to share important data or store private photos, documents, passwords and so on. Google is renowned for putting a high price on the security of their users and this is why Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are equipped with a custom enterprise-grade security chip. The chip is called “Titan M” and it is the safest chip for Android smartphones, especially when it comes to dealing with passwords, locking down the boot process and so on.
#3 Google Assistant
The last Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL top feature that we want to cover is the support for Google Assistant. This AI (artificial intelligence) assistant has been proven to be the best and Google’s Pixel smartphones receive exclusive features that work only for them such as the Call Screen technology which will automatically answer suspicious calls and then talk to the person on the other end in order to figure out if the phone call is safe or not.
