Pixel 3a -- One year as a daily driver

With the release of the Pixel 4a right around the corner I thought I'd give a review of my daily driver: the Pixel 3a.


TL;DR The 2019 OG Nexus 5.


I bought the Pixel 3a last spring right after it was announced. I got it on sale for $299, which in hindsight was a really good deal. You can read/watch a ton of reviews on this phone, so I'm going try to focus on what I like about the phone and how it's held up after one year.

Although it uses a mid-range processor, the 3a has been really smooth ...

Would you buy a 2020 Google Pixel 2 with the latest chip for $399?

Would you? Nothing changes apart from the chip is improved. I'll even let you have nightsight and all the other pixel features from 2017-2020

Apple fans are drooling over the iphone SE which is basically a 2017 iphone 8 with the latest chip.

Is apple showing that the direction the industry has taken over the last few years has been for nothing? 18:9-20:9 screens aren't essential? Bezels are fine? Large screens are too big? Night mode is unnecessary? 2017 selfie cams are good enough?...

Some early adopters have already received their phones and some are returning them due to a green screen issue and also a dark screen borders due to a curved display
